Hank Ellis Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 My first clean match was so weird. My gun broke. I spent the whole match trying to get old reliable to go bang when I hit the switch. And I didn't know what was wrong with it. Fought it through 5 stages. Found multiple parts broken when I got home. Details of the match and the gun teardown here. Congrats on the clean match. For me it was a barrier I needed to break through and couldn't figure out how to do it. Now that I've done it, I know how to do it. And I've done it again.

L9X25 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Can someone define exactly what a "clean" match is? No flame here, just trying to determine if my definition matches with the general consensus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 For me, it means no penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin40 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) Clean match to me means no penalties. A perfect match to me means no penalities and, its a big "and" is no points dropped. Flyin Edited February 2, 2007 by Flyin40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timamal Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) All Your hits and no penalties. Edited February 2, 2007 by timamal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I have had a lot of no penalty matches but none with all A's. Heck I remember very few stages with no dropped points. Great goal, but I think 95-97% of points is more in line. At least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin40 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I think I have had about a dozen or so stages with no points dropped but I probably had 5x's as many with penalties. Flyin40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great goal, but I think 95-97% of points is more in line. At least for me. I think that new shooters come in two types ... the ones that learn to go fast first and learn trigger control later, and the ones that learn trigger control first and then slowly gain speed while keeping the hits. I personally learned trigger control first but don't know which way is better. I am told that there is some evidence that learning speed first might be the preferential method. I guess that the end result of learning both is the common goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that the end result of learning both is the common goal. I'm one of the guys that went fast from the beginning. I don't think its really whether one is better than the other as a blanket statement. I think it all depends on the shooter and their attitude. For me speed was the way to go. Last yr I worked on accuracy and made improvements and this yr is going to be the same thing. I plan on doing group shooting off the bench and freestyle alot. I have no doubt if I tried to go slow and accurate in the beginning no way I would be where I'm at now. But thats another topic............Like Speedy Seevers said nice job on the clean match.

Micah Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Big congrats! I've had a handful at the club level...it is empowering to know that it can be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Tim, That is great!!! Way to go !!!!! I was able to go to the A-8 last year on a pretty short notice. I had not been shooting much at all and a clean match was the primary goal. I managed the clean match, and won Revlover division. I'm sure that had I not shot a clean match especially the first half of the match things would have turned out different. One clean match can and will lead to another, then another, then a clean major.........you see where I'm going with this. Good shooting.

Flyin40 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Shot my first match of the yr and shot it clean. There were plenty of no-shoots around too. Went to the match to shoot it clean and did just that. Flyin40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 What are you trying to say about the MD of that match Flyin40 ?No-Shoot Crazy ??? I wouldn't have it any other way Incidentally, I had two matches (well, ran the same one in Prod, then L10) without any penalties!
