Feb 24th solo practice at PSI post work

Had another long week and it was only Tuesday. I had packed my gear in the morning with the hope of shooting in the PM after work. Leaving the office at 6:30 I was less than energetic...but I drove to the range if for nothing else but a change of pace.

Set up my new target with 17 bulls. Did not even take a practice shot. Just started right in. After about 5 shots I was engaged. Read, don't shoot record shots if you are not engaged.

Spotting scope, target stop, targets worked great. Only problem was it was going below call and I was unable to remember which way up was. (it was a long day) So, I just held high and it bought some better values. It was quite odd toward the end. My hold was AWESOME. I mean I clould hold the bull in the bottom of the 3.6 front sight and squeeze the trigger for a solid 10. 8 out of 17 shots were 10s. One of those out of body moments. How to make that happen again is the question. What was I doing right? Zone and confidence. As soon as I started thinking about how easy it was to shoot tens, I lapsed but worked hard to get it back and I did.

I need to remember if CW is D or L

The top know says <----L----BEI-----R----> except in a circle around the knob.

The windage the knob looks like this <----T----BEI----H---->

FIGURE IT OUT! Not knowing cost me points in the middle of my match! I have made stickers and will now just rely on the sticker to keep my brain out of the weeds.

172
178

531

I may have scored a few to my advantage but it builds confidence. Counting points is not critical really. And to think that real matches are scored in decimals!
