I have been shooting IPSC for three months now, handguns for less than a year, but I shoot a lot. I shoot a single stack .45 1911. I know I picked a difficult first division.
During our local practice matches, I am usually -2 or -3 for each stage, as in all Alphas and two or three Charlies. The problem is I am super slow. I have been told I am getting too many Alphas.
I think I am solid C, although I have not shot qualifiers yet. I usually shoot with the C's and occasional B's. When I compare my points to the rest of the shooters, I am a few points above the GM's and M's (all classes), but about 20 seconds behind them:)
My problem is that a lot of people are kicking my behind overall, even though their score is 20-30 points below mine, but they are 10 seconds faster.
I have a lot of work to do on my mag changes, draws, transitions and movement.
Am I better off keeping up the accuracy and shaving time off gradually? Or am I better off going for speed and accepting lower hits?
I just want to make sure I am on the right path...
Thanks in advance for the help.
