    I'm hitting my first year anniversary since starting to shoot uspsa - around 40 matches this  year.

    My training method at this moment is writing down my stage plans and taking video of stages and then comparing the two later - and then thinking what did I do well, where did the plan fall apart and why, and how/where can I shave time.  I'm starting to think stage plans need to include lots of detail.

    Anyone know a good online resource / links -  or is that getting too personal?

     

     

    40 matches? That's awesome. Are you training in addition to shooting matches?

     

    What sort of resources are you looking for? Help stage planning?

    Pretty much any movement drill will lead to positive results.  Get after it! 

     

    I support this.

     

    I also noticed in practice that you can sprint as hard as you want, but if you're not exiting/entering your positions efficiently, you're actually losing time on your movements. 

     

    Try different things on a timer, see how it shakes out for you.

    This is a bump firing issue. It is well documented over the last several years that it can happen with this trigger if you don’t have it firmly against and pulled into your shoulder. It happened to me once or twice when I first got the trigger when shooting prone. I didn’t have the gun very tight, so when fired the super short reset on the trigger allowed the gun to fire again. The trigger is NOT faulty. You will have to just hold the gun tighter when shooting it. 

     

    Buddy of mine was doing some rifle shooting in an awkward position one time and didn't have the rifle shouldered very well. Let off a nice burst. Everyone at the range stopped and stared, it was kind of funny.

    Random can cause issues if something pops up after you hit the button. 1-4 seconds is more than just “ I heard somewhere”. It’s in the rulebook:

    .3.3 “Standby” – This command should be followed by the start signal within 1 to 4 seconds. 

     

    I now know that it's a rule. But when I was new, I just remembered overhearing it, and it seemed reasonable enough, so I set my own timer to delay and got busy practicing.

     

    The first time I was asked to help RO, I was just tapped to help because I'd been shooting for a little while. Now I know better.

     

     

  5. When I first started shooting, I heard somewhere that you should give 1-4 seconds before the start signal. As such I set my personal timers to a random start between 1 and 4 seconds...

     

    At this point I have enough reps with this configuration that I'm conditioned to hitting the button and letting the timer do the work for me. Any time I hit a timer button and it immediately beeps, I think "aw shit."  - After enough times doing that, I make sure to determine how the timer is set up before running any shooters.
