hopalong Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Well it could have waited, or maybe not. Last week I traveled to Memphis and shot in their monthly match... One of my goals for the year was to shoot 60% or better for the Match of the match winner (in Memphis that is usually a GM or M open shooter) I have been pushing hard the last 2 weeks trying to shorten my times of field courses and it has payed off.... to a certain extent we will see after next week. any way I ended up with a 65.6% of the Match winner, M-open I only had 1 stage that I would like to have back and looking at the results, so would most everyone else. A good boost of confidence right before USPSA Nationals Just maybe don't get too over confident? Oh well 2 of the 5 major goals conquered 3 to go !!!

hopalong Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Froglegs, here they are: 1 break 2 seconds on reload (revolver) done. 2 get 60% or better for the Match at one of the bigger local matches where there are good shooters Open and limited Ms and GMs Done 3 Win either IDPA or USPSA revolver Division at a major match: Done ( IDPA indoor championships Memphis) Revolver winner and 14th overall, 70 shooters + or - but still have not given up on USPSA 4 M card in USPSA --- only started shooting wheel gun last winter so hoping to go from C to M in less than a Year. 5 M card in IDPA ----- I don't practice any classifiers in either USPSA or IDPA and shot the IDPA classifier in August moved from Sharp shooter to Expert, missed M by 5 seconds.... on one string at 7 or 10 yards you shoot 2 each( 3 targets,) reload and 1 each strong hand after shooting 2 each I got brain fart and forgot to reload and shoot strong hand just stood there with empty gun showing clear for at least 4 seconds then remembered to reload and shoot strong hand. and the bonus: overall stage win at large local match: Done see thread of 2.83 bang and Clang Am getting close on the last two as I now have an 87% and the Bang and Clang will be acording to Ron Ankeley 94% the others are all in the 70% + range except for one which bumped out a 74%. And don't think any more IDPA classifiers are going t be shot around here but am shooting the TN State match in about a month, if I don't screw up and actually win with some Masters there those guys will move you up in class. There you go, Hopalongs goals for 2004 maybe I will get all 5 maybe not but it is not for lack of trying. Good luck to the rest of ya'll on your goals Hopalong / Sam Keen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
