Why

 

[buddy_fuentes]

Hey Scooter, this time I left my ice chest on one of the stages...can't seem to hold on to my s***t...and I'm only a Senior, not even a Super Senior like Lloyd

I saw it and did not know what to do with it because I'm a Super Senior.....or did I see a blue and white ice chest? Hmm, was I even there?

 

[smith625]

To much bs and another thing i won't get into on this board.

Unless they have changed the TRC, its only six rounds at 50. The target is a bit funky; that bizarre milk bottle-looking thing; but that course won't stretch your abilities at all.

It's 18 rounds. 6 strong hand, 6 off hand, and 6 prone.

i was a little bummed at my percentage. 46% is still good, i suppose

but then again second u-production to blake isn't a bad thing right?

i didn't get to see him shoot yesterday but i watched some of his vids on youtube and

 

[Barney88PDC]

Second was like 67% so dont go off of percentage. AND you got to keep THE TITLE!

and yeah, i noticed that too

really, i went into that match worrying more about that one stage than any other so i'm pleased.

how'd the STi treat you?

Really nice. Gun ran fine no hiccups. But Operator error killed me on 2 stages. On the 35 yarder I was so focused on the front sight and squeezing the trigger I put the first 3 rounds in the first target @$%#! That was bad enough but on the last stage I had to do a reshoot. I had made a walk through before the first time running the course and made a mental note to pop the 2 target on the left behind the wall before shooting the Texas Star. Well I was like 3rd to last shooter the weather was coming in and I was trying to quickly reload my mags (course malfunction on the swing was the cause of the reshoot).

So anyway Joe the RO asked if I was ready and instead of doing a quick run through I just got set and totally blew it by not shooting those 2 targets 2 the left. The second time around. I had shot them on run 1.

SO that was 4 misses for 40pts and 2 failure to engages which I was told were 10 points each so the totaled negative 60 but those shots were so damn close if I had shot them I can say that would have been 4 alphas so I would have recieved 20 points so we are looking at a 80 point swing.

I did a really good job this match of slowing down and my Pts show that. I looked at the scores last night and a few stages I had the best point in the hit category and was right up there on the stages I did not have the most points. They just got me on time. So now I just need to start working on speed a little. My accuracy I felt really good about. And of course quit screwing up on missing targets and giving up easy points. That stage along w/ shooting an extra shot at the 35 yard target cost me, and if my math were correct a 80 point swing on the last stage and 25 point swing on the 35 yd stage (10 for extra shot on the target and 10 for the procedure error of shooting it plus the 5 that were avaliable IF I would have hit the A zone, I know that is a big if on that staget but I did ok on the targets). If I would have had those EASY points I think I would have placed about 11th in Limited. Maybe someone more familar w/ the point system could correct me if I am wrong.

PS: If that were so I think I would have given scooter a run for his money?

Good job Bannon!

Bannon - Stay focused on shooting the points for awhile. It is fun trying to shoot as fast as you can, but when you are not shooting the points it will get you down. The speed will come with more experience. I have been recommending to new shooters to start in production because you are forced to shoot for points because even a C hit will really hurt you, so you have to focus more.


Ed - What happened on your last stage. It looks like you were hanging in there until that stage. Did you forget some targets?

 

[BayouSlide]

And remember: perfect matches are few and far between. What you'll find is that if you make fewer mistakes than the other guys, you'll end up higher in the final standings, even if they are equally talented.

I know shooters who end up beating other guys nearly every time out because they are consistent and always end up at second or third on every stage, while the other guy wins stages and then blows stages.

Consistency is the hallmark of a great shooter, IMO.

Then you have the dang curve-breakers like Blake who shoot in a realm all their own

I was scoring him on that run and trying to send out psychic messages to "turn around, buddy, turn to the left." Then, as always happens, when the RO says, "IF you are done..." with the subtle emphasis on the "if", you know you need to take a last look around.

Barbara Thibodaux missed the same targets on the next run, the two just before the star. She had hit them during her first run, which also was aborted due to the swinger not being reset properly.

On my run, I was so focused on my reload, I shot those targets, then ran to the next shooting position...something is missing here, I thought, this is toooo easy...then I remembered the star and went back and engaged

 

[spanky]

BayouSlide, who are you?

You SOB need to introduce yourself.

It's easier for you than me since I don't want to be that jackass staring at a blank look when I ask someone "are you on BayouShooter?"

Since you bested me by .56 points in the Production results, I prefer to remain incognito

We'll hook up the next time for a more formal introduction

Nice shootin' on the CAS Standards stage, BTW...

That 35 yarder ate my lunch and think I was given a "mike" I didn't deserveon another stage.

Like Todd said go for the points and let the sights dictate how fast you "squeeze" the trigger. You need to see the sights on the target for each shot, not just the first of two.
You'll get better pretty quick. You have a fire in you that I haven't seen in quite a while. Take any advice Blake wants to give or you can drag out of him. Ask him or his dad who you can and can't listen to.

If yo want, I can sign up with a new username and rag you a little more. On second thought, I didn't like the look that woman gave me

 

[FrankJr]

Hmmm. Okay; still won't tax your abilities.

What gun are you using?

Using a 586, Hurst already grabbed the model 19, but the old 586 is treating me well. I shot it today on my lunch break and have gotten pretty solid at shooting in the 270's. Still got a few tweaks to make though.

 

[smith625]

Thanks for reminding me about those missed targets, i had almost put that behind me.
