You really should check the shooters calendar for the events. It's there as a service to all shooters and should be checked often.
In NH we are quick to shoot, slow to document.
The wait is so hard. Anybody count up their numbers from the carbon copies?
They were run off a mimeograph machine prior to mailing!
The time waiting gave us more reflection on how we screwed up........
Actually I use the scores to determine how badly I screwed up a stage or did well. For example if I do a stage run of 26 seconds and I thought I did well. Then the scores come out and 23 was the average with the top shooter did it in 16 seconds, I really analyze the stage to see what I could of done better. These long waits, my memory of the stage is lost and I lose precious time to practice on something specific before the next match.
AHHHH, but we did not know if we sucked or not for days & weeks........!
This made us assume we sucked, until the scores were out,
but it also made us mentally tougher than today's instant gratification results...
Now after 23 years, I know If I sucked or not without seeing the scores......
Dave, you must have figured out I was around then...and before23 years??? Holy crap! That's a long time. Who was shooting USPSA with you back then that is still doing it? Was USPSA around then???

Hell Yes!,Dave, you must have figured out I was around then...and before
Just Dan S,
Lopez,
sometimes Mark Mazzota & Bobby Longo..... rarely Ken Ruffert..
The rest are quits, too old or dead.
And we did not practice then either, still don't...
We are all kind of "on demand" type shooters...
PS,
there were NO GLOCKS back then,
just 1911's! (and cap & ball revo's of course!)
Damn, now you've made me sad. I miss Darius.Darius, JKelly, GregG. Miss those guys.
