Colorado Springs IDPA

[DAL357]

'Twas a pleasant day for a classifier yesterday: the weather was good up until the last couple of shooters, when it began to rain, but even during the warmest part of the day I never felt like someone had turned the temp. setting up to broil.

Well, I managed to just barely make it to the Marksman level, which was my immediate goal. There were only two of us shooting revolvers and I think I learned something: to keep getting better I am going to have to concentrate on not only accuracy, but speed as well. I shot the cleanest match I ever have, beating the other revolver shooter on that point handily, but he shot faster than I did and, even with his less accurate shooting, beat my score severely. (BTW, this isn' t sour grapes, congrats to the other revolver shooter.) It looks like it might be okay to drop a few points in the interest of having a shorter overall time. Now, of course, it's a balancing act and it would be easy to swing too far in the other direction, so I'll have to be careful. Damn, this stuff is harder than it looks!

It was a well run Classifier with squads small enough that you didn't stand around too long losing your mojo between stages. This was my third Classifier this year, and I wasn't as focussed as usual. I missed two heads early on, then fumbled my mag to the ground on Stage 3 String 1 behind the barrier. Ridiculous. Though my intention was to stay in control and just shoot as fast as I could call my shots, it didn't play out very well this time.

Ahhh, so you have to be a FRIDPA member. It looks like I need to join quickly, somethingI have been putting off for too long.
