I just wanted to add, an experienced shooting pointed out to me today that while taking several shots at the same target, I was looking over the sights to check the previous hits which ended up causing me to sink the rest of the shots lower and off target.
He told me I really need to only focus on the front sight and to take shots once the sight picture is correct.
I think that me stopping to look for hits on an IPSC classic could be one of the reasons my pace was slower back when I first posted this thread.
