That right there is pretty interesting to me. I'm listening and reading and learning and practicing...and I keep hearing that speed matters...but hits matter...but speed...and then you post this. Fascinating. Obviously, a good combo of hits and speed is what winners do but speed matters a LOT. You actually can miss fast enough to make up for penalties. At some point mathematically, you can get ahead of the slower but more accurate shooter. All of this assumes safety and no DQ's of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Well like I said we shot similar A and C. But the speed made up more than my penalties cost me. In one match vs this one shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncman Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 If I can get calm and not tank my first stage, and the hose classifiers with mag change , my scores would improve drastically. Several second place finishes in CO division and one third. Last match was third with a Master in the class. I always tank my first stage and at least one of the classifiers Been dissecting my videos and stage movement effeciency is a huge area I need improving on,,, and reloading on the run.

teros135 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 You might try slowing down on the first stage. I used to foul up the first stage, about every time, and.figured out that I'm pumped up for the match but not yet dialed in, so I go too fast and make errors. I slow it down a notch and get the hits but not the Ms and Ds and no-shoots (well, mostly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
