Eastern Colorado IDPA - @ Colorado Rifle Club, 4th Sat of the month.

I like that we can all come in here and whine about our scores together.

Whine? I seem to remember a certain person (Irving) bragging about how well he did.

I need to speed up. People with twice as many points down as me are still scoring better in the end.

[Gravy Sandwich]

Though i've tried it a few times, I never have my best scores when I make an effort to slow down and drop fewer points. Just two weeks ago I went 10 seconds slower at Fridpa, dropped fewer points, but ended up with a worse score overall. Didn't have much fun shooting that way, either.

Edit: Just glancing over the scores from Fridpa and Ecoidpa this month, I count four experienced shooters who attended both matches and had better scores in the match where they shot faster raw times.

I just need to eliminate mental errors, usually caused by focusing too much on one aspect/skill to the detriment of other skills.

Balance, discipline and more practice.

Although I look at my score after a match, I don't take it too seriously (a good thing with scores like mine). 90% of the reason I am out there is for the fun factor. The other 10% is to learn how to run my gun under somewhat unusual circumstances and from odd angles. One thing I learned, and seem to have to keep relearning, is that trigger control is paramount. Competition also exposes the (many) flaws I need to work on during practice. In the end, though, I try not to lose sight of the fact that I truly enjoy shooting; I guess what I am trying to say is that I am okay with improving incrementally and not trying to rush it. I know me, and if I push it too hard, it will become drudgery. Of course, it's a fine line between pushing too much and not enough and everyone has to find where that line is for them.

Anyone know who the photographer was that was there? He was taking a lot of photos and I didn't hear him ever ask anyone if they were okay with their picture being taken.

I probably know...was he an older guy and wearing a CRC badge? I chewed him out last time for not asking. If anyone knows who it was, please send me a PM so I can deal with it with the BOD. I don't mind, in fact encourage spectators, but photography without permission is not okay with me. They need to ask.

PLEASE, feel free to ask, write down names of anyone who does such, and or ask them to stop unless they get permission. I will back any of our shooters, so please help me out.

He was out there to take pics of our squad and friends he shoots with. It's for the ECO web page. I will personally go through them and make sure that if he got anyone else but us in the pics that they aren't posted.

[Irving]

He was a young guy. He was shooting (photos) in our squad for a while, then he took off to another berm. He was wearing a pistol, but I never actually saw him shoot.

] Pretty sure he was with the ECOIDPA or whatever.
