Some of it comes from big things. I forgot to reload once. In one stage I reloaded an extra time and that threw me off. I also had an FTF which hung me up on another. But there are plenty of small things. My reloads are pretty slow, and I'm not too efficient moving through the course. I'm also slow at getting on the sites at critical points. Some of those I can work right here in the living room if I just get off my bum.

I just watched the video. Your trigger speed can come up some, but it is not the biggest thing. Order of engagement, too many starts and stops, not looking mag into the gun, getting lost and wondering around a bit, standing reloads that don't have to be standing reloads. Some more matches will help.

Indeed. That bold part is a recurring theme in my life. That's why I'm going to shoot more matches and come to your leagues. I'll get it down eventually.

Shooting faster is a great cure for to many A's

At least you always had 10 rounds in all your mags . You also didn't shoot the same target twice (thanks coach for pointing that out in bay 4. That is what happens when you change your plan at the last second)

I was only a little bit faster and a lot sloppier with the 3 mikes and I'm sure more delta. You both ended up beating because of accuracy and not the speed. It is kind of like the turtle and the hare analogy.

Having re-watched my own runs a few times, I can see a few places where I could have dropped a second or two off my times. I also need to clean up my reloads. And I could stand to work on transitions, and a few more things. Basically, I need to get better.

The order of engagement is another place where time can be gained. Through the door shooting right to left instead of left to right allows you to back out of the position. In the second stage the first four targets should be engaged left to right or right to left and not a combination. I prefer that if my muzzle covers a target I shoot it then. If I come back to it a second time that is slower unless it save me a reload or a position or allows me to be moving. It will come. Glad you made it out to the match considering the weather.

I thought you didn't believe in having a plan?

Yep, I see several times during that video exactly what you're saying about not pointing my gun at a target twice and order of engagement.

Yep. Or FTE. I didn't look at it. I just fixed it and went about my business. And with the faultless, unstoppable, glock perfection, too. I'll have to throw it away now. Maybe I need a 1911?

How's that been working out for you?
I was unaware we were rehearsing...like for a musical?

If you hadn't seen one of my 9mm 1911s malfunction a couple of summers ago, I'd make a comment. But you did, so I can't. It happened. ARGH!

It happens to the best of us.

isn't that what a walk through is?
... just like in the video, just make it 12 of the blind guys and that's about what a walk-through looks like....
... well, more of a conga line than a real dance routine ...
