I've actually rethought it a little.
My first match after making MA (2nd sanctioned match) I shot it fast. Too fast for me. I had WAY too many PD. I came in 3/3 in MA SSP (7th overall).
I squaded with the shooter who won Div Champ (2nd overall). He told me "you're shooting too fast". He was right. It didn't feel like it but the hits showed it. Plus 2 NS!
Anywyas, I need to throttle back just a little. Not a lot. Where I need to get faster is on everything else but actually pulling the trigger.
My first sanctioned match (as a SS) I won the div and was 4th over all. I didn't expect to win so I just shot my sights. After making MA I thought, "crap, I gotta go light speed, I'm a MA now"! Well, that didn't work!
This rule, while I'm not in favor of it, isn't gonna hurt my scores. At least not without affecting everyone else's since everyone is is gonna be scored the same.
Point is, shoot it as fast and as accurate as you can. Then try to do it faster and more accurate!
