Yesterday I was able to go out and do some live fire practice. Started out by doing two shot drills out to 25, Worked on distance change up drill, Wide single shot three target transitions and finished up with dot drill. my total round count was 120 before it was to dark and had to pack up. On my way home I felt pretty discouraged on how my session went, it seems that things were not really clicking. After getting some sleep and thinking about it this morning my learning experience from yesterday is that my visual patience on sights in practice was well below par and this is something I have really been struggling with. I have a club match coming up tomorrow and plans for a good practice session on Monday.

Do you happen to be using Dillon dies? I have noticed that on my 40S&W the last 1/8" of case is not resized. i purchased a lee U Die and cured my issue. Not sure if it is same issue with 9MM.

It has been a while since I have posted on my range log simply because I have not been able to sit in front of my computer. State match went very well for me, had some minor mistakes but overall felt pretty happy with my performance winning Limited C. Dryfire has been consistently 5 days a week with minimum 1 hour sessions, live fire has been 150-200 rounds a week with one or two matches on the weekends. I am happy to say that my goal has been reached making B class 64% at the beginning of August and now my sights are set on making A class before June 2019, if I stick to my practice schedule I know this is achievable. This past Sunday I was able to get out to the range with two of our local GMs and do a practice session. They really took their time to help me out on movement and pushed me to be accountable for poor shot calling. This is something I really have been working hard on in live practice every session but just cant get rid of the blink during recoil but I will not give up on it.

I am prepared for 3 months but have heard some are shipping in 9-10 weeks. Is it the shortage of evo grips causing a little backlog?

I just ordered my Nemesis on August 8th. can't wait to get my hands on it. How many weeks did it take for you to get yours?

Yesterday I was able to get out and do some live fire before this weekends state match. Had to replace my holster due to some issues with becoming loose from mount. local gun shop had DAA X holster that i decided to pick up and get adjusted near old setting before I headed out to range. felt nervous about a completely new holster before a match without hardly any time with draws but my times were in line during live fire at 1.19-1.29 working on watching sights lift during accelerator drills and 6 reload 6. worked on movement in positions keeping gun up, aligning sights and breaking shots before setting up. currently struggling on 20-25yrd plate rack, I think I need to work on accuracy on demand at these distances and not rush the shot. Hoping to get in a class soon for instruction on my inefficiencies.

This log is something that I have been wanting to do for a while paper or typed. seeing feedback from other shooters I think would be a benefit. So here it goes, I started shooting USPSA matches December 2016 was instantly hooked. I received my initial classification in April 16 as D @ 33% in L10. I struggled along not really making any improvements through the course of a few months. I started seeing a lot of shooters running dots on their guns and said to my self " this looks much easier with a dot" and picked up a G34 had slide machined, installed a RMR and was ready to go. Well I was wrong! spent more time trying to play find the dot than I did shooting. A local shooter on my squad said you really need to work on dry fire to build a solid index to find the dot. after a couple months of dry fire I was really seeing improvements and gained my new classification as C @ 42% in CO I was feeling very accomplished. A week or so later i walked in to a local gun shop and saw this beautiful used 2011 with full rig and 6 mags ( I have a bad impulse buying issue). A few days go by and I pick up this new tricked out gun from the shop. Now that I have this new gun I felt excited to dry fire every night, still learning dry fire it was mostly draw and reloads on a old shot up classic target that was pulled from the trash pile after teardown of local match. By November 2017 I was able to get my classification in Limited as C 48%. dryfire fell off during the holidays and did not touch the gun much. January 2018 Richmond Rod and Gun was hosting a all classifier match and i thought to myself if i really work hard I can get my % up. I got back in my routine of dryfire 3 days a week for 30min to 1 hour sessions weeks leading up to this match. the day of the classification match i can still remember being relaxed and confident that my work would pay off and it did! jumping up to 56%. shortly after we decided to up root out of California and move to Idaho. With the stress of moving and new baby shooting had to be put on the back burner for a while. May 18 was my first match back to shooting at local club and boy it was rough! I dont think I have ever had so many "M" ever, but I was just happy to be back out shooting again. after this match I decided that I truly want to get better and started my dryfire routine back up and ordered Dryfire reloaded with some scale targets. June came around shooting only matches sub par. training book and scale targets were still in the box. I had to get my butt in a routine so out they came and dryfire begun 4-5 days a week for 15-30 min working on sight focus and transitions. I had a match at end of June that i think was one of my best performances on field course and classifier 06-03 at 70%. I have now started live fire once a week with 100-150 rounds working on watching recoil arc and longer distance shots. last weekends match I had some issues with just being too tense, pulled shots and just overall poor shot placement. Positives from this match I am feeling more confident on 20-25yrd targets and was able to run 06-03 can you count at 73% ( two separate clubs same classifier). my goal for this year is to make "B" before 2019. I need to keep myself on track to my training schedule and this will be a achievable goal.

I am stuck between EMG or an Atlas Nemesis. I haven't handled or shot the Nemesis which makes it tough.

Yeah i was getting a lot of mixed answers at the match on Saturday so I figured I would ask. what is the minimum time period between same classifiers? recent 8 or once a year?

So I shot this classifier twice in last two months at different clubs. been working my butt off trying to get out of C class .89% to go. June Limited HF11.7930 @ 70.87% Last weekend in Limited HF 12.1099 @ 72% I am interested to see what happens? does the June 70% get flagged and replaced by the 72%?
