Match critics? Seems like it's all mental...

[bsand]

 

 

Well shot my forth carry optic match (7th uspsa match). Things did not go very well lol... From forgetting to reload when I had plenty of time/distance to do so. Then another stage i forgot to record, botched my table reload and had to come back to pick up my next magazine.

 

To leaving Mike's I could physically see on targets and taking them instead of reloading and firing two more rounds (did that stage 1&2, resulting in 2 Mike's each).

 

Then classifier as usual I screwed it up and hit a NS on first round (damn you double action!!).

Seems I do pretty decent when I'm 100% there mentally.

 

 

40/56 overall

8/10 division

9 Mike's

1 NS.

112 alpha

6 Bravo's

25 Charlie's

3 Delta's

Except for the obvious mistakes you mentioned, the shooting was Very Good

for your 4th match -    

 

Congrats, and good luck improving as time and experience roll in (or on)

Start to dry fire daily. Most of your issues seemed to be around "Finding the dot".

There's a lot that you can improve in there.  Biggest returns on the following.

1. Stop judging your shooting while you're shooting.  
2. Shoot your speed.  I don't see the kind of control I usually see with that cadence.  
3. Optimize your non-shooting time.  You came to a complete stop before reloading on nearly every stage.  That incurs the additional bonus of having to slide lock reload.    
4. Don't make up Cs.

1. I used to look for bullet holes as I shot targets. Im slowly starting to NOT watch for bullet holes, and calling my shots. Looking at Stage 1 video, I knew I messed up my stage plan and instead of doing something different I started to panic and got angry lol....

 

2.  I see what you mean, I watched a M shoot the same match (also carry optics) and well hes like a machine gun but the gun does not move at all. Compare that to my video, and well I'm like a drunk who's starting to dry up lol.  The one stage (stage 5) I actually did well on (3/10 for CO) I was slower but more fluid with my movements. Other than I should have reloaded when moving instead of engaging targets that I ended up having to re-engage after the reload (had an Alpha Mike, and Delta mike before make-ups). 

 

3. Yep, I totally caught me self not reloading at my designated spot, then realizing and basically panicking in my head and throwing away rest of my stage plan.

Another video. I placed decently 33/77 overall, but 6/9 for division.
