Stage from Area 2, critiques please...

Limited C shooter trying to get to B. Here is one of my stages. Moving faster definitely needs to happen, and faster transitions I think.

Have the gun up and ready to shoot BEFORE you get to the shooting position. You waste a lot of time mounting the gun AFTER you have settled into the shooting position. With the mesh walls like that you can see the targets you are going to engage through the wall before you get there. Start pointing at the target through the wall just before you settle into the final position.

Charlie, That was exactly what John Harma told me.  My gun was up waiting on me but I was taking too much time to pull the trigger.

You stick the gun into every port too. Backing up just 6 inches will let you arrive with the gun fully extended like Charlie suggested.

 

I find the most common reason guys go with "arrive, stop, see target, extend gun, shoot, retract gun, THEN exit" is because they're so close they can't get their gun out until they are in the port.

 

Coming in with your gun up and out will make you step back a foot, but arriving and leaving can now be started before you mount or dismount the gun.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep it in mind at Area 1 in a few days.

all this above is good advice.  To me the transitions between targets were a little slow...i heard quite a bit of "pop-pop, pause, pop-pop"...with targets that close and transitions that short it should sound like one continuous string of "pop-pop-pop-pop".  I like the Hopkins Drill for working on speeding up transitions.
