Got finished with the '09 Louisiana gator classic. This match was my second
major match since I started shooting uspsa this January.
My goal going in was no mikes penalties. I also wanted to redeem myself for my performance at Area 4 since I did much worse than I should have. I basically defeated myself.
I accomplished that and more.
No misses, no-shoots, fte’s etc. (there were a few memory stages so a lot
of fte at this match)
I won two stages in production.
And I came out 1st C and 6th overall out of about ~43 production shooters.
Definitely one of my better matches considering I messed up on one stage and shot it At least 4-5 seconds slower than I should have.
Definitely learned alot at area 4 and I can’t thank the guys I shot with enough for helping me out. It definitely opened my eyes to the game and how my mind effects my shooting. I was very relaxed, had specific plans for each stage and, aside from that one, it worked.
Here are the rest of the pictures I took over the weekend.
I was hoping I could contend for Top 3 in C-Class but it wasn’t in the cards (it didn’t help that I racked up 80 points in penalties on one stage for being an idiot). Maybe next year I can make a run for it. It was great to shoot a match in a bigger pond than I’m used to.
You guys definitely put on a great match, I’m hoping to make it over next year.
Heh, I can understand. The thing that killed me was the FTE I got, I stared right at the target and then blew right by. Stupid stuff always seem to get me.
The longer you shoot production I believe will make you a better shot once you move to another division… so I am told anyway, I have been sticking with production since I started USPSA. When I use my limited gun for multi gun/3 gun I shoot it so much better, I believe in part due to sticking with production and working from there, or maybe Im just crazy.
