July will mark my 2 year anniversary shooting USPSA, and I've had a blast. But it's time to serious and start tracking my progression. I truly can't say what my goals are at the moment. I have no defined goals at the moment besides just trying to be better than my old self.

I am truly a product of my shooting community, soaking up as much as I can and trying to apply them to my own game. I will always welcome 3rd party critique, so please feel free to jump in here and express your thoughts.

Everyone does their journal different, what I think I'll do is post videos of my matches, and provide my own post-mortem analysis on my performance and any new lessons learned, etc.

Here goes:

June 14th, 2009
USPSA Match at Paul Bunyan
Open division / Major
B Class

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=CECf3AQNATg

Goals for the match: Accuracy/points, relaxing and stage execution. Working on a new grab, elbow and shoulder position on my draw.

Thoughts: I noticed when I slowed down, I was still able to keep up with the higher ranked shooters being at most 1 second behind. Combined with points, I was able to beat them more often then I have in the past. I was shooting slower, and it really bothered me how slow I felt I was going, but really surprised me when they read my time. I am shooting faster than I think.

Failures: I had 2 failures to go into batteries. I am removing the 8lb spring and going back to my 10lb spring. I have had problems since I've swapped them out. These failures really hurt my overall score/performance on the two stages these happened on. 1 happened on the classifier and really hurt.

Although my scores where input incorrectly, I only had 1 D in this match, no mikes. My C's were around 15%-18%. 1st place B class/9 shooters.

A- 109
B- 1
C- 26
D- 1
M- 0

There are NINE B-open shooters in the NWS now? Thank goodness I haven't progressed to the next level ;)
