Class of 04 and you think you should be a Master by now? Well, it can be done but it takes alot more than years put in. Dedication and total disregard for almost everything else will bring you close. I firmly believe that if our friend 9x21 wasnt a family guy with a full time job, he could have been a Master shooter by now.
For me, I joined the USPSA 4/89 decided I wanted to really focus on it and take it seriously in 1991. I had my M card issued 12.29.92
For me it took 1000 rounds a week in practice alone. 2.5 hours of dry fire every night. Out in the back yard after work working on foot work in and out of shooting boxes. I shot every USPSA match I could find I could drive to. 2 hour rides to Manchester NH in a blizzard on tuesday nights because I knew the boys at Wilson Hill would be there holding the weekly Match. Driving in pouring rain for 3.5-4 hrs to Dutches County to shoot with Yoichi Ota still in the pouring rain.
You want to get the M card? You have to work at it. I see a couple shooters that are close to puting in what it takes. Mike, Steve...keep at it, your close!
I've been shooting on average of 800-1000 rounds a week right now. My focus is on my training 100% right now. I dry fire every night and have been setting and achieving my goals. We'll see how it goes.
