Well in the past couple of weeks I have done the following;
1) practiced 1&2 shot drills, plate rack, grip/stance and target acquisition.
2) made up reduced "A zone" sized targets and put them all over the house. It is amazing how much this has helped me on target acquisition.
3) found out the local range has a plate rack but they remove the plates after a match. I asked the rangemaster if he would mind If I used my own plates to practice and he said no problem. I had some scrap 1/2" steel so I cut out 6 and my wife went down and tried it out, worked great and the cost was 4 hours labor and 12 bolts and nuts.
4) installed a muzzle brake and took the trigger down to 3.5 lbs on my AR. I was very surprised by the difference it made. I even hit a .99 first shot and a 1.16 second shot from port arms (once).
5) attended a local pistol match not USPSA or IDPA, just some of us locals. Had great time and ended up third out of 19.
6) shot my second USPSA match, met some great guys and shot better than last time.
7) joined USPSA
8) ordered, bullets & powder. Dies for .40 & 9mm, & caliber conversions for my Dillon.
9) loaded 700 rounds for the NBRSA Long Range National Championship his next week.
10) gathered up all my brass and tumbled and sorted ALL of it. Man that felt great to get that done! Had more than I thought.
