Saturday, December 15, 2020's USPSA match at Brock's Gap Training Center in Hoover, AL.

Notes:
- I felt like I shot fairly well for my skill level overall, but I really wasn't prepared in the slightest. I didn't have the chance to get to any dryfire practice on friday, and I didn't end up getting to sleep until fairly late, only netting ~5.5 hours of sleep. As a result, I wasn't mentally as sharp as I should've been, and my focus wasn't where it needed to be.
- Stage 5: I needed to have better cadence/fluid transitions on the left hoser array. I didn't need to take third shots on any of the targets on this stage. As I was coming back into the middle array, I overshot the window on the first target and had to sway back a little bit. I also shot the targets on the latter half of the stage way, way too slow, and my transitions were lazy.
- Stage 6: The first two vertically stacked targets should have been taken marginally faster and with a significantly faster transition between the two. I meant to take those, the steel, and then the left target, but I ended up capitulating to my reptile-brain urges and shooting the big cardboard target first and going back to the steel. As I was coming into the second shooting area, I was running at a fairly shallow angle, enough that a squadmate commented on how close I was to the 180. Going back over the video, I definitely had several degrees left before breaking it, but it's still good to emphasize conscientiousness. I probably should've taken the left array from a lower, Sailer-style height. Perhaps that would have helped me not have awful hits. The far left back target, I felt really kinda needed to just be taken as quickly as possible. The two four target hoser arrays should have been taken faster with faster transitions. The back middle hoser target was good, but POA was a bit low and left iirc leading to poor hits. My hits on this stage overall were quite poor. There were far too many Cs, but I did run it pretty quickly.
- Stage 7: So far, I seem to struggle with this kind of stage. Wide open shooting areas with memory-oriented angles leave a lot of room for me to make miscalculations and screwups. I should've taken the second array on the left back to front. I should've taken the back right two targets from much closer to the middle right target instead of running all the way forward. I should then have taken the rest of the targets from the final position, not taking the middle-center target while moving backwards like I did. My shot splits on the moving targets were awful, and my transition splits on the stationary targets were awful. I will note that my hits on the target that I took walking backwards were great. I didn't need to take a third shot on anything.
- Stage 1: I really liked this stage. I definitely need to work on shot-calling and not hesitating after shooting steel. You can really see that I almost gain a whole second sight picture on the first steel after hitting it instead of moving on to the second steel. I waited too long to move after the second steel as well. My hits on paper on this stage were fairly disappointing, as were my transitions. I think this was largely due to lack of focus. In any case, I think I successfully executed my stage plan, which is more than usually can be said. I just need to do it faster and more accurately next time.
- CM 20-01: This one was fun. I think I did both sides of the stage as well as someone of my skill level can be expected to, but the middle was fairly lackluster. I should've fired faster pairs on the outer-middle targets and slowed down substantially for the middle-middle target. I don't know why I fired a double-tap at that target. The second shot of the double-tap hit the no-shoot, which is frustrating. My classification percentage was ~65% iirc.
- CM 20-02: I've shot this one once before, as such was fairly familiar with it, and have done a lot of "mental dryfire" on it if that makes sense. Because of this, I was able to get an 80.14% on this classifier. I'm currently in C class due to having a 2.54% as one of my first four classifiers though, so this one won't count. Decidedly epic. I had a bit of trigger freeze on the last two targets, but other than that it felt good.
- CM 20-03: Man. This would've been so nice if I hit that fourth steel on the first shot. Ugh. OOf. OOOOF.  Classification percentage was like 46% or something awful like that.
