    Trouble with classifiers

    Oh, that's different.    :rolleyes:

     

    You mean you've had trouble on the TWO Classifiers you've shot ....

     

    Hardly a trend - keep it up - keep watching and trying to shoot it as any other COF.

     

    See if the "problem" continues or disappears.

     

    Good luck with your Third Classifier.

    Lol I guess you're right. I wasn't quite thinking of it that way :D. Thanks for the help with the thought process I feel better about it now.

    How many times do you air gun your way though a long field course memorizing all the places you need to stand and where to reload if you want to shoot it well?

     

    Now. Honestly: How many times do you air gun your way through a "shoot 6, reload, shoot 6" classifier?

     

    See where I'm going with this? ;) 

     

    I know what you're saying. Usually I do everything twice sometimes three times. I guess I just need to slow down and take a little more time between strings to prep.

    Most classifiers are short and are not really high points. The best advice I got when starting out was to get your hits and speed will come later. If you are just starting out then that's what I would do. 

    This was just my second match yesterday. I really think it's the mental prep that's hurting me. I just forget the mandatory stuff on the classifiers.

    If you're hoping to show off for your friends it'll be hero or zero, neither of which is an accurate indication of you current skill level, but if you approach it like any other stage you should see consistent results.

     

    I'm not in a stage of my life where I'm willing to dedicate much energy to taking my shooting to the next level, so my goal is consistency; I try to approach the classifier the same way I would any other stage and if I execute well, the score will be a few percent higher than my average.

    That's what I'm trying to do as well but, it seems on classifiers I get a bad case of CRS and mainly forget to do my mandatory reloads.

    I've found that there are two (2) ways to approach a Classifier :

     

    1.  shoot it just like the COF before and after it, and you'll do exactly YOUR level of shooting,

     

    or

     

    2.  shoot much faster or slower than the COF before and after, and usually you'll shoot

         much worse than you normally do.

     

    Plans for Classifiers are usually MUCH simpler than field courses, from what I've seen.

     

    Any specific examples of what you're doing wrong?

    The last two I've done I have forgot to reload. Just silly stuff really but it's killing me. All my hits are spot on just forgetting the details.

    It seems like the more difficult the stage I run the better I do but, the minute I get on the classifier I freeze up and forget what I'm doing. I think I need to do a better plan in my head between strings and learn how to do damage control a little better. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Unfortunately for you most of the Southern clubs are clustered in the Southwest around Cincinnati with another located in Circleville. I am near Cincinnati myself. For you I'm guessing PCSI in Circleville is closest. Also check out Briar Rabbit in Zanesville. 

    I've shot at PCSI and I'm going to shoot at Briar Rabbit next month and in the blast. I'd be willing to travel to the Cincinnati area to shoot.

    Where in Ohio? I'm the Section Coordinator for Southern Ohio and I'm here to help if you are in my neck of the woods. The guys up north are OK too I guess. :)

     

    Just so you know, once you move to Open you'll never want to shoot anything else! Open is such a rush!!

     

    Welcome to the forums and the addiction!

    I'm from Gallipolis. I appreciate the offer for sure I'm sure I could use a lot of it lol. My friend Cody Baker is the one that's talked me into it and that's exactly what he said from the start.

    I just started shooting USPSA for the first time this year in Carry Optics division and am already looking at moving to Open division. Any tips, tricks, advise, and or conversation are welcome. I look forward to gaining much experience and enjoyment from this sport.
