Shooting Brown All Day...

[DoubleL]

Uggh. I can still recall many sight pictures from almost 6 weeks ago.

Know how many I remember from today?

Zero.

Lots of close in, tight and short transitions. A really fun hoser day. But halfway through the fourth stage I realized that I was just looking across the gun and not actually paying attention to my sights. I did redeem a scrap of my pride on the last stage. However, I had issues with keeping my pistol up and ready. The close in stuff just has a way of making me not want to AIM.

At least I nailed my reloads all day. Also hustled while moving, however my crap accuracy pretty much countered all that hustling...

I know what you mean.

At our club, depending on who is the match director, the majority of targets are full targets and close in so most of us just hose away at the brown.

It's like hypnosis coming from those close hoser arrays...

"don't aim at me! Just hoooooosssee meeee"

I did get something good from it, which drills and skills I'll be working on in my next practice sessions. The not aiming part I can deal with, I haven't had a day off in 15 days so mentally I wasn't there 100%. I actually left the match and went back to work. Brain is a little mushy from skipping dry fire and a practice session for a week.

Keeping the gun up is something new for me though. That has not been a problem for me before this match. I believe all these issues stem from my lack of rest. Just an all around lazy and lack of fundamentals kind of day for me.

In the future I think I am going to skip the match when my mind and body aren't on the same page. Definitely more bad than good came from that match...

Ive been averaging 55-60 hour work weeks for about the past month (with shift work added in). Fatigue will definitely effect your shooting which is a fine motor skill.
