I have definitely made this mistake and had to borrow coats and sweaters and such on 3 different occasions where I was really under dressed for how cold it was/I felt.

Dr. Phil Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Don't be like my buddy Dave! Go drinking till 2 the night before the State match. Stop for coffee on the way to match after 3 hrs sleep. Add 4 count 'em, 4 Expresso shots to your coffee. Shake your way to your worst finish ever. Realize after the match that you registered for the afternoon squad to shoot PCC! Do not be like Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the many things he talks about is creating a check list. Edited May 26, 2019 by CSEMARTIN see above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, when the stage is over, it's over. I don't dwell on it. I don't think about it. I just move on. This will make sense when you win a major by less than a second. When the match is over, then you can dwell on your mistakes and try to learn something from it. Don't do it during the match. Nothing good can come of it.

cperazza Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 On 2/1/2019 at 8:50 AM, Harpo said: Agreed: Keep to your routine, or a known good routine, and that should help performance. Personally, I enjoy a morning cup up of coffee, and it takes about 4 cups on an empty stomach to cause problems, so one or two cups with breakfast if fine. I also know that my hands start shaking slightly when I haven't eaten. Solution: I keep snacks in my range bag. Dehydration also kills energy, focus, and mental ability, so I always take plenty of water(it might be about a gallon, now that I think of it) and keep drinking on it throughout the day. 1 Vote... Establish a pre match routine and stay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David.Hylton Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Don't drink so much that you forget to set or sleep through your alarm. Especially if you are the match director and have the keys to the storage shed. Not my experience but I did have to wait for him to show up........

07yzryder Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 been said before but will say it again, not preparing properly for the weather. Rain sucks especially in the desert where it can dump quick and hard. Plan on leaving my cheap frogg toggs in my truck. also shoes.... my 5.11 shoes are vented, VERY well.... leaving boots and the rain stuff in my truck. Ammo, dont rely on loading your match ammo the night before... pawls can break and your stuck with factory ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawdustnsteel Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 dont forget to dress for success.. knee braces, good socks, great shoes for the terrain comfortable clothes that dont inhibit your rig. all things I lay out the night before. ( learned this working the range. it was shocking to me how many people fumble with clothes, have s#!t shoes on and slip, forget ortho stuff they normally wear, end up in pants in the middle of a vegas summer covered in sweat.)

Low calorie, said it was better than coffee. What could go wrong? Had one during the drive before a match along with my normal cup of coffee. Wow, had the shakes for 1/2 the match so bad I sucked. Couldn't concentrate. Never have your first one before a match. gerritm I think I know the one your talking about and that's literally my go to drink driving to a match.
