CraigEcash86 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 In a lot of things I do I push myself hard. But I've noticed in shooting USPSA I found out that it's better not to over think the run. Make a simple plan and go with the flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I try not to "think" and shoot at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glock26Toter Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I have a saying I use. "Shoot like you shoot." My way of saying don't try too hard. Just do what you know how to do and how fast you know how to do it. All that other shit like finding your limits and going beyond them is for practice. Often, during a match RO's will hear me mutter "shoot like you shoot" to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzShooter Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Works pretty good for me. Let your mind go and just shoot. The more you try the harder it gets. Zen Helped me get Master Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abb1 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The toughest part of thinking is your mag changes (in Canada). Shooting IPSC with high capacity mags, there was a lot less thinking as when you seen the target, you just shoot. With 10 rd capacity, you have to coordinate the changes in between targets. If you have 5 targets and plan a mag change, well if you have a miss and have to shoot that extra round, or if you forget to change in between each target group, it messes your entire stage up. Too much thinking is a major handicap and can be frustrating, but it is a real challenge with limited mag capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterock Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I find I psyche myself out when I try to compare myself to other shooters in my squad and begin thinking that I need to shoot their pace. Turns out most of the time consistency wins and I do better when I don't think much about what I need to do. See target, engage target, move, reload, rinse, wash, repeat.

benos Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Once you have thought out your plan to certainty, then turn your plan into a visual video. AT the buzzer, start the video, and stay in video mode until you are done shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swapped from Limited to Single Stack in late September for the exact opposite reason. I figured the cold wet weather would be a good time to practice stage planning/mag swaps etc.... Now I'm actually classified higher in SS by like 3%. Ill go back to Limited in February. Edited December 27, 2016 by WaJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrasam Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I took a class with Ben Stoeger once and he shot a stage then had us make a stage plan for him that was very different (still had to be reasonable--we basically had him shoot it the opposite way). His hit factor was about the same--and the point he was trying to make was that you need to put together a quick plan that makes the best use of your current skills and shoot it. Worrying about small changes isn't worth the effort. I have stopped paying attention to other shooters stage plans and just shoot the one I came up with even if it is completely opposite what everyone else is doing.

Ozy Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) i see seasoned guys in matches laugh at themeselves, loudly, when they screw up.... so for us novices, who cares if you f up? Edited April 17, 2017 by Ozy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
