Liota Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I've been mostly lurking for about 7 months now and have learned quite a bit, I think. Here are a couple. 1. Just shoot. Don't let emotion come into the stage. There's time for celebration or crying later. 2. Stay away from the scoreboard. It leads to a violation of #1. 3. Watch the front sight/dot. See it rise. See where it settles. (This worked really well at A4 this year. If no mikes, I would have won my class. Took 2nd) 4. Dry fire a lot. Engrain good habits.

Loves2Shoot Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 about #2 if you follow #1, then #2 isn't a big deal, you NEED to check your scores, scorekeepers are overworked and underpaid. Mistakes happen. There is no need to be afraid of the score board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Liota, If I could do those four consistently, I'd be much better than I am. Great summary! I'd add: 5) HAVE FUN! Because if you're not having fun, you should be earning money.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dunn Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 What I learned yesterday working on my reloads is that a good grip on the mag during a reload is just as important as a good grip on the gun during a draw. If I slip and just have the thing by the basepad, sometimes I'll get lucky and wobble-jockey it home, other times it hits the deck. Reloads off the ground are slow.

Liota Posted September 4, 2003 Author Share Posted September 4, 2003 You are right, Brian, I should have looked first. Of course, I'm also fishing. Thanks, Liota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4444 Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Checking the scores can help sometimes,,,,,, Lets you know if other newbies are tanking a stage,,,,,it can tell you to slow down and focus or where you need to rock and roll. Look at the hf's and the point totals,,,,,do a little math and you can easily determine how you need to approach a lot of stages. But, that's the gamer's approach.
