A head shot is no different whether it is by yourself or in front of the super squad....I've done both.
The only pressure you have is what you put on yourself....if you think shooting on the super squad adds pressure you simply won't be able to make it to the top echelons of the sport because your performance will be adversely affected when shooting with the best in the sport.
Normally I won't say relax...I know if I am doing my job the rest will take care of itself. Relaxation for me is something that is earned through hours and hours of practice. If I have some nerves before a stage I'll hear my good friend saying "just aim" in my head.
Shot this recently. Here is my score from memory.
All A's....last target was only at 20 yards instead of 25 though.
String 1 - 1.62
String 2 - 2.13
String 3 - 2.31
Total - 6.06
It's also interesting to do that with multiple shooters.
Usually the top dogs will beat you in different places than the other top dogs will.
Pretty interesting.
Don't make your splits any slower (if you are seeing what you need to see of course) just transition faster. It's obvious you can since you have done it. My recommendation is stop trying to disect every detail and just drive the damn gun.
You will see a difference.
(from memory)
I'm comin out. Anyone I see I'm gonna shoot em. Any son of a bitch who takes a shot at me I'm not only gonna kill him I'm gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down.
But in those other games, those perfect scores can't be beat (hence why they are perfect).
In USPSA...My perfect score could just as easily be stomped into the ground by Max.
There is no "perfect" in USPSA. You can always go faster.
99% of the time when you hurt you ACL it is usually all or nothing.
If you heard a popping sound, very good chances are that it is torn...not sprained.
No amount of cortizone or physical therapy is gonna reattach a busted ligament.
Jorge wasn't leading but was about 5 points behind Max at the end of day one. I don't think he had gun trouble...he just flat out tanked a bunch of stages in a row. I was incredibly impressed with his shooting though.
Guys cmon....this is not a fair weather sport....We aren't always going to shoot in optimum conditions...you all knew it when getting into the sport, and you know it now.
Deal with it.
