Hey Sean..does this look familiar.. ya wee, bandy-legged galloot!!!!
Oh, and as for me being "Rodney King"ed by you... listen closely... I think that sound is your alarm clock trying to wake you up... you must be dreaming!
I'll return to my current view that arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics..even if you win you still look like a retard.

Its a combination of all the little things that make for a good stage... the spilts are just a part of it... the transitition from target array to target array, the plant and setup, going in and leaving a target array all combine for your score... Attitude has a lot to do with it as well. Different competitors require different ways to prepare... Since I haven't shot an IPSC match since the Nationals, and I have not practiced I told myself not to expect a good showing or worry about any stages... just have fun and I did.
Somedays it all comes together, other days as Slavex's Sig line says "its just not worth chewing the straps."
Yesterday at a Level 2 match Tritium and M-Bomber and I were have a good match and on the final stage (field course) they both shot well and then I went through and ended up taking about 8-10 seconds off their times with good hits (17 x A, 8 x C, and 1 X D)... My splits were great (.11-.15) but it was the Target to target and the setup were even better.... it all came down to dialing everything in on the same stage. Even the extra shots were on target... now if I could have done that consistantly all though the match.

Well, Pop shoots with his eyes closed and uses cardboard seeking projectiles!!!
Just kidding... those splits are very fast at that distance (I'm not sure they were as fast as that but they sounded fast). The distance was approx. 10 m to 15m.
I don't run that fast at those distances for fear of pressing the trigger before the sights have settled on the A zone.
I will admit that a lack of practise negatively impacts on a number of skills (and your score).
I haven't been shooting pistol much for the last two months and I noticed that my grip and arm placement were causing me to bring the gun back slightly high for follow up shots (the front sight wasn't settled in the rear notch and I was pressing the next round off). My visual acuity was there but my hand-eye coordination was affected by not actually firing and working on recoil control. This lack of practice resulted in missed shots going high because I was pressing before I was ready!
So, Hal, as long as you practice and work on A-zone hits out to 25-30 metres and see how fast that YOU can achieve those results, I figure that your splits will take care of themselves. It's target to target transitions and movement that will rise your ranking!
Move fast/shoot slow!

Interesting, When I first started out in IPSC, 50 yard standards were a matter of course and expected at most major matches. You don't seem to run into that much these days, but I figure I'll keep practicing it anyway at that distance. If you can call your shots at 50, you're seeing well and any level of shot difficulty below that will be a snap. Shoot only as fast as you can call your shots at any given distance and let the split time be what it will be.

The two target arrays from 11 yards I was still point shooting with no pull up on the trigger from target to target (targets were close together).
Unfortunitly I was using factory ammo (whater ever I can find) 124gr Federal. There has been no 9mm Frontier bullets available since April.Willysman said:
