Re-engaging A Target. [first Post]

[bp78]

First post. My name is barry and I've been an IDPA addict for 3 months now.

I didn't eat all day, first nice warm sunny day, on the final stage I engaged the first 3 targets and then moved to cover to engage the fourth. While moving, I saw target 1 through a different window and somehow didn't recognize it as the target I already shot, I put another 2 on it. RO debated a procedural but was talked out of it by other people on our squad.

Learned that eating something would probably keep the mind sharper and I need to do a better job of seeing the course of fire during the briefing.

That's always a problem, whether to eat and let the pre-match nerves create a witch's brew in your belly or go hungry.

Come out and shoot some USPSA, we'll let you shoot the same target until your gun is dry... No procedurals...

You have to get rid of the pre-match nerves.

That can be easier said than done.

I like to stay hungry.

I feel more agile and focused.

But your blood sugar/metabolisim is probably different than mine.
