Was a bad day for me. Should have composed myself and get out of the rut earlier in the match.

It's easy to come online your best runs/scores, it takes a bit more character to post your mistakes. Thanks for sharing.

What was the DQ for? From what I could tell, it was possibly 180 or finger on trigger during a reload. Maybe I'm missing something.

I think there was a ND at the end of the stage.

Ok, re-watched that part and I think you're correct (@4:36).

Correct. AD'd leaving a port with the muzzle elevated.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

I remember when I started shooting competition, I never knew what the offenses for a DQ look like until I had one myself. Just thought I'd share with everyone what they look like so they know what to expect, especially when you're running a shooter through a course of fire.

What I learned the hard way is to make sure I maintain concentration and be mentally prepared to shoot a stage, if not, ask the squad leader to take some time off and recompose.

Thanks buddy! yes you should go out and shoot practical pistol sports. It beats shooting paper targets in a square range. Just be safe!
