L-10_shooter Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 This season I have been shooting three club matches a month, I shot Area 1, and was doing alot of dry fire before area 1. The biggest thing that I have come to realize lately is the mental side to shooting. I have pushed myself to shoot faster and watch the front sight to ssee what it is doing. I have also found a load that I like alot that I will stick with from here on out. Seems the more time I spend around shooters the more I like this sport.

j1b Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Congrats!!! That is awesome! I remember with a fairly fond memory winning my first match. It wasn't near the size or scope of Albany, a dinky town with a small group of shooters. The most profound "revelation" I had was that up until that moment I would have believed that I prayed to God "please, just let me win one and I'll be happy for life." After that first win though it was like a heroin needle got stuck in me. That single win caused me to want only one thing the rest of my shooting days, to win always. It's an amazing story of give an inch and take a mile. I got my inch, and selfishly I immediately wanted my mile. It was an amazing transition for me personally. As I reflect on "moments" that shaped me, that single moment had a fairly significant impact on my life. It lit the fuse to a remarkably competitive attitude that still exists today, though I'll confess to trying to dull the edge a bit. Winning was everything to me back then, today it is just a very important thing to me. Hey, progress is progress! The short story is simply to say cherish this. A "W" is a "W" and should be cherished for all that it is. Celebrate it before looking towards the next one. I always sucked at smelling those roses. Very cool, great match, and congrats!!!

Jack I would have to agree Jack. When I started shooting last summer, I kept getting blue ribbons for unclassified production. I wanted to keep getting blue so I started dryfiring and so on. My big turning point that pushes me to do better (go faster) was wining L_10 C class at Area 1 this year. My first major match and i went home with a plaque, can't wait till next year! Thanks for the story! jan Edited September 14, 2009 by L-10_shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
