Clay1 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I practice, I dry fire but obviously not enough because when I go to the match I just blow it. I shot one stage today and I shot all As and two no shoots. Both shots go into the same no shot 1" into the target. The next station I clean all As, but on that run I throw a mag in the gun and fire a round and it goes to slide lock. Put one of the used mags back in the mag carrier. I shoot another station clean, 8 metric IPSC targets all As, then next station is the classifier and it is easier and I shoot 4 C and drop a shot into the black hard cover. Walk away with a 3.4 HF. Sometimes, just sometimes, I feel like I should take up golf. Bumbed for the day. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay1 Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 I'm not a golfer by the way. I grew up and my father never chased the white ball or played sports. We hunted and fished in my family. I was bumber yesterday - get like that once in a while, but today is a new one and lets do it again. I have Steve Anderson's book on the way and Matt Burkett's video number 7. Hopefully with some new direction in the training program things will go better. I am probably shooting to my ability level, BUT I just want to be better than that so I need to earn it. If it was easy it wouldn't have the attraction that it does. Didn't mean to be too negative yesterday. Like I said it is a new day today and damn it, I'm going to get better at this stuff.

mcoliver Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 If not for my screw ups in matches, I doubt I'd still be having fun shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not for my screw ups in matches, I KNOW they would not be having as much fun. ... I hate that. (not really ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 You guys make me smile. You need a sense of humor in this hobby that is for sure. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterj Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Rick, got to keep it fun! Once shooting starts to feel like a job, it's time to lay off for a while and let it get fun again. As long as you enjoy shooting, you will get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
