John Heiter Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 In no particular order: 1. To slow down enough to see what I need to see on each shot. 2. To get things stable enough in my professional life that I can devote more time/money to my private life. 2b. To attend at least three big matches purely as a shooter 3. To personally get two or more new shooters into IPSC shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRe Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) I just put these together at the end of November - I'll post the short, less detailed version Dream goals (longer term than this year) - GM card - win a Nationals, World Shoot, Area matches This year - Master in L-10 - shoot within my current class at 2 majors Enabling goals (ie, how do I get to the above) - dry fire 30 minutes, 5x per week - quarterly performance assessment (ala Kirsch) - structured emphasis on weak areas by performance assessment - reloads - movement - position entry and exit - accuracy / long range shooting - shoot a minimum of 4 major matches - establish and follow a program to improve fitness and flexibility - keep a performance journal - run a Directive Affirmation (Bassham) every 2-3 months - attend a lesson or clinic with appropriate professional shooter(s) .... one of my Dream Goals is actually nearing fruition, and will probably be removed from this list in a few days .... needless to say, I'm freakin thrilled!!!! :D :D Edited December 9, 2005 by XRe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Well...pretty much the 2005 goals that I didn't make but with some additional insight that another year of age brings (in order of priority): 1) Get professional life under control (which largely means giving up control to some extent) to where my personal life is under my control = more time shooting and doing the important things instead of working for the state. If this means changing jobs then so be it. 1a) Get health under control. Lose another 15 or 20 lbs, drop BP another 5 points, etc. 2) Get back to dry firing and airsoft training on a regular basis. 3) Get back into doing live fire practice outside of matches. Practicing at matches SUX...especially at 3-Gun matches. 4) Get my "A" in Limited. 5) Get classified in Production (there's the 2006 excuse to buy a gun!) 6) Shoot more...period. Including more 3-Gun. 7) Shoot at least 1 major, 2 would be nice. 8) Work a major as match staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot a revolver 7. build a 10/22 for my six-year-old son. if I get half of that...it will be a fun year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypool40 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 What: Make GM in Limited, deserve it and be competitive in that class. How: Practice for accuracy, dry fire for speed, Shoot more matches against better competition, with the same gun all year long. Sounds almost simple, huh?

Barrettone Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) 1) Dry-fire all winter, shoot airsoft, and get more proficient in all areas (draws, splits, transitions, stage breakdown, acquiring sights, reloads, etc...). Take four-day class with Jerry Miculek in Spring. 2) Make "A" in Revolver and shoot "A" class match scores. 3) Win the Points Series in "A" class for Revolver...Carmoney, Keen, and Carden...you have been served. 4) Shoot Canadian and US Nationals, Area 8, Area 5, Michigan State, Targeting Education, Ohio State, Indiana State, Kentucky State and Summer Blast. Pan American in Brazil is an outside possibility. 5) Move up to "B" (percentage-wise) in L-10 and Production...this to be done in Spring-time before Revo season starts. 6) Officiate less to acheive my shooting goals.

XRe Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 - return to Open Class Just crossed this one off - well, one big part of it, anyway... See this thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Yes, I will post my goals, but they need more thought and work before they go public. XRE, I can see that you have read Saul Kirsch's book: Thinking Practical Shooting . And those goals were the short version. I like it. One of my goals is to set aside some serious time and energy to develop specific goals with specific time frames that I am motivated to achieve because of the challenge but are realistic for my ability level. More to follow. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) XRE, I can see that you have read Saul Kirsch's book: Thinking Practical Shooting .And those goals were the short version. I like it. Yeah... But, that's not the only thing I've read that talks about goal setting, and it's importance. Bassham's book, obviously. And also Performing Your Best. I like to plan things out in small chunks, so that I can see progress occur along the way That's been important to me, so far. I think, in a way, that in reading Saul's book, you're actually reading Bassham's book I have some lofty goals, and, like a large elephant, the only way to eat it is one bite at a time, so.... you're seeing quarters, and steaks, and bites...
