j1b Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Wow did I suck today. I wish I'd handled my shooting life differently. Wish I'd stuck with it. Because today was a tragedy. I was once there. Hell... I WAS there. But i let that go and today I know .... I'll never be there again. Well, at least at one time I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was pretty hard to just die on the last two stages. Probably shot the worst performance of maybe my entire life.

COVID has been a nightmare. Probably only get 3 matches in before our Area match, which was NOT the plan. On 6/24/2020 at 7:10 PM, Toolguy said: Oh well, better to be a has been than a never was... Haha ... I understand the perspective but respectfully disagree. Had I handled my shooting life better I don't think I'd be "all that and a bag of potato chips" but I think I would have at least been quasi competitive.

ramairthree Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I feel you. ‘in the 80s, 90s, early 2000 I could go to a little local match, and kind of shoot bottom of the top quarter or so. I have a couple of classifier data and was in the 60s for percents. Around 2010 I got back in it, after a rebuild of the dominant hand hand wrist. Some classifiers from then were around 47 to 55%. But it was still fun. I just started going back after a around a 8 year break and now need reading glasses which I have not quite sorted out. I am shooting 25-35% on classifiers and pretty much last at the matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
