I figured I would update this range diary. Since I haven't been updating this very often I will just recap my year.
I practiced (live Fire) 3 Times a week
Shot a local match every Sunday
And shot 15 Majors.
34-38,000 rounds....lost count
didn't dryfire...should have though.
I started shooting USPSA in July of 2013
SSTK for 4 months
started shooting Open November 17th 2013
I should have made Master In June 14' but a classifier got screwed up.
I will be making Master on the December update.
I made a shit load of friends from all the matches I have been to!!!
I have Improved more than I ever thought was possible in one year. When I started shooting...I couldn't believe how fast people could shoot and actually hit targets! I thought it would take me 5-10 years to be as good as them. I never would have imagined I could go this far in one year!!! CB45....Chad Boncquet has coached me since September of 2013. If it weren't for him I would still be terrible. I still have a ton of work to do to reach where I want to be. I made huge gains all year....now the hard part begins. I have to work on small things that never mattered to me up till now. I could get away with a 1.30 draw and 1.60 reloads. I got away with mikes, deltas, and two charlies. I even got the nickname "2 Charlie" I shot worse points than almost everyone...but I usually did it faster...and it worked. When I first started...everyone told me to slow down and get my hits....I never listened. People made fun of amount of mikes I had at a Match. All year everything fluctuated...my points would get better....then I would get faster with worse points..then the points got better.. I still shoot bad points faster than most people...eventually they will be where I want them...until then I will keep practicing and getting better. If I would have slowed down and tried to shoot good points...I would have never advanced like I have. I need to work on shooting steel....I struggle with having no patience...its hard for me to let the dot settle before letting them rip on steel. Some matches I do well. Others not so much! I am losing the most time at a match from make up shots on steel. I typically loose a second or more on stages that have steel. The good news is...i'm usually only a second or two behind the top GM"s. If I can clean this up...I will be closer to where I need to be!
I'm tired of
