OK, OK, Sorry, Here it goes

I have been shooting USPSA for about 7 months. Started reading BE's book a few weeks ago and had to share what happened to me at the last match I shot.

While waiting on deck with the nervous twitches and just trying to relax for my stage run, I saw an empty .45 case laying on the ground..... I looked over at the case and spat (Yes, I think it is a Southern thing).....but.....WHOA.....Wait a minute.....WOW an "A" zone hit on the case..... What H$%L just happened?????. I have to try this again..... Just look at the case and.....well you get the idea another "A" zone hit (FWIW I think my split was about 5 seconds). You can guess what happend after that.....LAMR, completed the stage with the RO shaking his head and calling 2 alpha, 2 alpha and had my best match to date.

Point is.....The turning point can happen at any time if your mind is open to it.

Another good reason not to pick-up "range brass"? :o


Just kidding, SC! I hurl stuff (yogurt cups, banana peels, ect) at the trash can in the lunch room from amazing ranges. The trick is "knowing" that your going to get a hit, not thinking about how you are going to do it. It's the same at the beginning of a stage. Clear your mind of all except the intention. That is one of the greatest lessons that I've learned from Brian, his book, and this website.

One thing I told a guy I used to train with a lot, that he said really stuck with him, was - find the middle of the target, shoot the middle of the target. This was after a hard afternoon of training, then sitting around for an hour or more discussing every technical aspect of everything we could think of.

Josey Wales used to spit before he'd start blazing, and he never missed. :P
