When good practice goes bad.

[Flatland Shooter]

I shot a falling steel match today.  One of the stages had two plate racks each engaged from a different area. I shot three plates on the first rack, paused for a second or so, and then shot the remaining three plates.  Moved about six paces and did the same on the second rack.  Shoot three, pause, shoot three.  JUST LIKE IN PRACTICE.

 

The past couple  practice sessions included shooting a plate rack at 10 yards and then 25 yards.  For what now seems to be a stupid way to practice, starting with the butt stock on the belt  I would shoot three plates then restart the timer and from low ready shoot the remaining three plates.

 

I'd like to say, "lesson learned", but not sure this lesson has sunk in just yet.

Under pressure, we do what we practice  ….

 

I remember reading about a LEO, about 50 years ago (when I was young), got

into a protracted gun fight, and after the battle was over, he realized that during

the fight he was policing his brass    

 

But, thanks for the tip

I usually try not to shoot the same number of rounds twice in a row. Even when practicing Uspsa when it is almost always 2 on each target. I set a course of fire and stick to it
