scored lousy again, but its OK

alex v

I tried to shoot beyond my abilities and it didn't work out so well. I went for some target head shots when I didn't have to, shot weak hand and strong hand when I didn't have to, but somehow I am OK having stretched abit. Better luck next time.

Sounds like, what I call......learning.
Change it up a bit, just because you didn't "have to".....
It's still a good way to find your limits.

I've been known to put 3 or more in each target, 2 in the body, one in the head, just for fun.

You ARE still having fun, aren't you?

alex v

Yep, still fun. The organization is tolerant of beginners so thats a big help. I'll try IPSC next, not because I want to go fast but because IDPA is only one weekend a month and I clearly need more time in the saddle than that. I could go to the range more often to punch paper but I don't learn anything, unless I accidently stumble upon a technique that works.
This last match I did well only on the last stage, and its the only stage where I can swear that I saw the front sight. I cannot remember what I did on the previous stages. What I need to learn is that for now, when the buzzer goes off it means that its my turn, thats all.

How about weak handed, upside down, squeezing the trigger with your pinky?

We shoot this way with wheelguns for Cokes at the Club.

Try it some time - it is an old Police technique (and I do mean old)

The way I look at it is that every aimed round sent downrange is another step in the learning process. If you get closer each time you prove the point.

If you don't try,how will you ever do it?
