shooterrdy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 "Shoot slow to get your hits" has to be at the top of the list for the all-time worst advice ever given about this sport ..... the only thing I can think of that would even come close is being a democrat ....

toothandnail Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Haven't read the entire thread just the OP and I assume your talking USPSA, here's my limited experience. I only shoot outlaw 3Gun, but, in the winter I will occasionally go to an indoor USPSA match, small match about 45-45 shooters Shooting only 2 on paper to neutralize, I place 1 or 2 in open in the top 10 usually around 5th combined. None of the stages give an advantage to open except for the RDS, actually a hinderance because almost every stage has a forced reload, something I hardly ever have to do. Almost always 1 A the other ? ?? every target gets 2 hits, I ALWAYS make up missed shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 at least in Production, shooters of similiar skill level shoot a COF in about the same time, the winner is usually detrmined by who is more accurate ... The " .... as fast as you can" part of my earlier statement encompases everything to do with shooting a stage, not just the act of shooting a target fast ... fast draws, fast reloads, fast transitions, fast footwork, shot calling , efficient stage plan, etc , etc. Doing all those things "as fast as you can" while shooting alphas is going to put you at the top ...

KelsonAK Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Shoot faster. I shot for points at the last match. Pretty much shot within a point or 3 of the GM that won for each stage - but took twice as long. Yea. That doesn't win. In fact - quite a few folks that shot a LOT fewer A's but did it faster placed higher than me. So don't fall into the trap of 'get all A's' at the expense of 'go faster.' Balance them out.... and for crying out loud don't hit the no shoots.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Shoot groups at the start and for the last thing you do in live parctice. If you train the way you shoot a match a few times you will find you weaknesses, then you go back and work on the weak things untill they become strengths.. Also try to video you matches you should see your weak areas too. Good luck.. Edited July 15, 2015 by a matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moneypenny Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Damn that was tight.... Shoot for points AS FAST AS YOU CAN... in that case. just don't miss ... you can't win the match on that stage but you can sure as heck lose it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
