Brazos SC Shooter Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Thanks Quick & Robert. I appreciate the comments. I can't wait to get my hands on the new gun. While I haven't had much time to dry fire I think I have made a good switch to my approach. I felt like last year I had good stage plans but would get in such a rush that I was accepting bad sight pictures and flying through stages in a "points be damned" manner. I was not really accepting or acknowledging the kind of damage I was doing to my scores. This weekend will be a special classifier at Circleville. I will apply the same approach and the scores should follow. Hope to see you there, Robert. Edited February 26, 2008 by Brazos SC Shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazos SC Shooter Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 3/1/08 Special Classifier - We shot a special classifier at Circleville today. I actualy shot through two times. I was less than 3% away from A Class and I believe I sowed that up. I had three runs over 80% so making Master in 2008 is looking like a real possibility. I didn't shoot a clean match today which was one of my goals. We shot one of the new classifiers with 35 yard shots and I missed low to the tune of 4 mikes. There were two other mikes. I did not shoot with patience. I am not sure what the final numbers will bear out but I think I have jumped up to approx. 81%, for which I am very pleased.

Chris Keen Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) So what the bet this time ladies ? Some sort of humiliating shirt again ? Maybe carrying the other guys range bag at the W. PA match later this season ? Maybe painting your gun & holster blue ............ oh wait you've already done that. How about painting it Bright Pink up until the Nationals.

Brazos SC Shooter Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 3/5/08 The results from last weekend's match were posted and I forgo to mention it. I won limited again. There were only two of us so I am not hanging my hat on it. No updates on the new gun. Flyin - thanks for the heads up. I would have driven down on Sunday and gotten laughed at again. Bender - I won't be able to make it this weekend. Chris - we haven't finalized the wager yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazos SC Shooter Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) I forgot to log my practice last weekend. Dry fired for about an hour and then loaded 2000 rounds to get that out of the way. Well I finally made it to A class. Just checked the site. classification.bmp My original goal was to have this rank by July of last year. I knew it would come and things have progressed just as they were supposed to. I have shifted my focus to just shooting consistently and letting the classes come when they come. I anticipate I will be well on my way to M class after the results of the last classifier match. I am looking forward to this weekend's match at Rayner's. Hopefully the weather will be nice and there will be a good turn out.

Caspian_45 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Congrats on makin' A. Way to go dude. You are on the right track "letting the classes come when they come". There is little to gain by being over classified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year at each level seems like the comfortable thing. One the other hand I know that sometime we have to do the uncomfortable things to achieve greatness. Bottom line is I am glad to have have achieved another one of my goals and we'll just see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazos SC Shooter Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 3/16/08 Shot the Rayner's match this week. As usual there is a large amount of steel. I think this has been a huge confidence builder to shoot this much steel. I wasn't real pleased with today's outing. I had moments of lights out shooting and then there were a couple of stages where you would have thought the lights were out by how poorly I did. As a result I don't have feel for how I will do in the overall results for Limited. The classifier was the new one "7". I tanked it. Fortunately it will be far enough below to not be included. I smoked two stages, tanked one, good on another and decent on the last. The only saving grace is the two I didn't do so well on where lower point stages. Once the results are posted, likely tomorrow, I will put them in here. As usual it was great to shoot with the likes of Flex & Flyin40. There were at least 4 other BE folks on our squad, but of course I don't know their screen names. It was good to see and shoot with them as well.

Brazos SC Shooter Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 You mean it wasn't TOO COLD for Flex to come out of his little hole ? Yes he made it. It was surprisingly cold for as sunny as it was. Seevers made it so I thought you would have headed our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazos SC Shooter Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 3/17/08 The results were posted and it looks like I won my division again. This was unexpected since I really tanked one stage in particular. In fact it was a big ZERO. There were 16 competitors in Limited this time so I feel pretty good. What I can take away from this performance was doing poorly on small stages wasn't as damaging as it could have been. I was able to put that stage out of my mind and finish strong on the remaining stages. When I looked at the other division winners I was actually the lowest in point total, so that would put me at 6th overall. The two stages that were not good for me were because I was not seeing my front sight and going faster than I could see an acceptable sight picture. The stages were I saw well I did well. I just need to continue to be patient. Division Name USPSA Competitors Limited Drew B. A56546 16 Limited_10 Millard M. A56749 3 Open John F. A40907 4 Production Kyle F. A44001 8 Revolver Pat S.

Brazos SC Shooter Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 3/19/08 Well upon further review I did better than I thought in the overall results. Check it Second overall makes me very happy. Especially considering the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazos SC Shooter Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) 04/09/08 I felt really good about my performance this last weekend. I was anxiously awaiting the results which were posted this morning. I am not sure what exactly has changed but I have now won my 4th match in a row. This last weekend I was in some great company and it was very close. It was also another match in which I had no Mikes/Penalties/No Shoots. It is amazing what happens to your scores when those are eliminated. Bender and I had a wager and needless to say, I won. We also had a shoot off afterwards, which he won the best 2 out of 3. I am not dry firing or live firing right now. Things are very busy with my business. It is working for now but I know it won't last forever. Here are the results.
