Shooting is the essence.

There's a competition (state championship) coming up in 2 days, and I'll try to put in practice your advices. This has been quite helpful. Alex DVC

Thank you fellows. Since I'm still kinda new to IPSC ('been shooting for about 3 yrs), my initial desire is to first shoot a solid match. Then improve from that. One of my biggest weaknesses (besides all the others I have to improve on and other problems I still don't know I have) I shooting according to plan. So, a conclusion is that a solid plan must take in account what my weaknesses are, right? Habilities acquired by lots of practice will take over, once I establish a basic, simple plan. Loves2Shoot mentioned something interesting: points. Kinda like waypoints on a flight simulator. I'll try that! BTW, it may sound "corny", but I have to say this: it's great to be on a forum where legends like Brian Enos actually take part in the topic! That's very enriching. Thank you! Alex

Everytime I do a walkthrough, I try to memorize the target locations, the places where I'll be reloading, what kind of aim specific targets need. I draw a mental figure of how to shoot that stage. However, during the COF, I often find myself not doing what I planned at the walkthrough. I believe that anxiety kicks in and takes control. So, what is the secret of the GMs during walkthroughs? What should I be looking for? What is the easiest way to memorize what was planned at the walkthrough? TIA Alex
