I'm still fairly new too, only shot a handfull of casual "practice" matches to date, but I was actualy way better my first match than I thought I was going to be, the R.O. was actualy nice enough to compliment me several times on shot placement.
My second match was where I got all my screw-ups out of the way, my head was so far up my arse I coulsdn't see daylight! I was over confident from my first good performance and tried to go to fast, didn't pay attention to details, totaly embarrased buy the end of the day.
I realized to focus on accuracy, and speed will come naturaly, if you focus on speed, you'll never be as accurate or as fast as you want to be.
Someone in IDPA once said "smooth is fast and fast is smooth".
