I noticed exacty this.
Watch the video in .25 speed. In the first 4 stages there are more wide transitions and you are flinging the gun past the A zone and having to reign in back in on most of the tranisitions. On the good stages the targets are closer and you aren't doing this. Maybe just because the transitions are smaller but also you don't seem to be muscling the gun and trying to over drive the transitions.
Buncha IDPA shooters on that squad probably. We didn't have any slow downs or backups all day. Did you shoot with bags on all day Sunday? We took them off mid-way through our second stage and left them off.
I was in a fog for the first few stages. Haven't shot an outdoor match since I think February. Our indoor matches are never bigger than 22 round stages so I never reload. Shot stage 12 and never even planned on reloading. Went empty and tried to tap/rack the gun like an idiot. That stupid 9:30am mistake cost me the win...derp
That's what some did "in the beginning", and part of why people were annoyed with PCC. Their make ready and ULASC takes additional time and when there's a lot of PCC shooters at a match, it's noticable
