Great post.
Perhaps all that time I seem to spend on the bottom of the warp drive chart has been useful !
I have seen the oscillations and they seem to come back and forth less deeply now. This year I joined USPSA and after sending most of my time being a "training junky" who liked to shoot an occasional local match I wanted to really dig in deep this year and see what i could do, and Ive had some great matches, but some awful ones too. I wasnt able to make a match a month like I originally intended , but Ive learned a lot and Im going to move ahead. Still waiting for my classification , and to be honest i thought for sure I just had to come in A with where I had normally placed overall (usually I finish high with the A class, always beat by M class overall but not always on all stages) but my scores have not been what i expected and my classifier scores have been just rotten.
