Another week, another run….g
8 for 10 this afternoon; I am enjoying this little exercise. My usual carry piece, G19MOS w/ACRO and a TLR8G attached utilized. Close misses on the 2nd prepped trigger shot and one off on one of the two shot draws. For me, it’s a matter of “patiently” pressing the trigger. So, I will just be more patient next time.
Side note: I’ve been working the light/laser switch in dry practice, and had two loose rounds to use up. Single shot from the draw in under 4 seconds with the ACRO turned off to see if laser was pretty close. I’m working the TLR switch with my support thumb just after my hands meet. Curious if anyone does it differently (?)
Both rounds hit, so I’m pleased with the results.
USPSA classification definitions
For people who don’t know how classifications are determined it’s percent hit factor compared to the best out there.
C class is 40-60% of the best people out there in the database.
That’s still pretty damn good compared to the general population.
Even a USPSA D class shooter is better than a significant majority of gun owners.
I think sometimes people take offense at “C class” or “B class” monikers but it’s just a way to shorthand describe a certain level of index, transition precision and recoil management at speed.
B class is pretty damn good in the grand scheme of things.
C class may be “average” for people who compete regularly, but it’s still damn good.
It’s the associated emotional baggage we carry from grade schooling where B is average and C is considered a failure.
Regarding classification: It’s not. And it’s not an insult, it’s an assessment to say someone has C or B class skills. No matter what their paper card says they are.
If someone has a Legacy drill that has a passing time / score that’s “X” and I can do it in half the time or double the hit factor or some combination of points / time and I’m not a world beater…
Then by definition, passing score is C class USPSA level. It’s not an insult, it’s an assessment.
Now people can keep running the C class standard and never improve… or they can work the mechanics to try and do it 25% faster / more points to get to A/M level performance.
That’s part of my beef with Legacy drills. People don’t realize they’re usually a C level achievement level. That’s still pretty darn good. But not a reason to want to sit on your thumbs and remain at that level, IMO.
