Cool. So if I slowed down to confirm where I could make the shots (which I already knew from other time based precision shooting). Then slowly accelerated, concentrating on grip and press etc to improve the speed until under standard (over reps), and shooting other precision drills under time contraints; without calculating a hit factor, but counting C's and D's as fails, am I a hit factor shooter without the formula?
It seems like the improvement process is the same minus the math. You learn where you can make the hits and push and practice other fundamentals to learn to make them faster. Hit factor seems more directly applicable to how to maximize USPSA score. Period. As Leatham explained.
Hence not wasting time in a match to improve long range C's into all A's because the time factor is so important in that competition. I recall you explaining how Leatham said it was worth taking the extra tenth to sink the close Alphas you HAD to have and not waste the full time it would take to insure all the long Alphas. Which I thought was a lightning bolt of wow for USPSA when you said Leatham made that point.

Probably overly dickish but my heart is in the right place.
Everyone on this forum is capable of some really crazy shit with the right practice to get them there, Rich included.

It's pretty nice to be banging on a thread about pure shooting and not hardware.

Can someone provide me some examples? What would drills that are traditionally scored by time or score only look like with limited minor scoring? Also, is there a quick calculator or app for hit factor? Or maybe just a quick way to keep track of the info I need to make the calculations later? I downloaded Practiscore but haven’t messed with it yet. I need something that’s quick and easy in the range.
I don’t completely understand the scoring system yet so that’s not helping. I need to suck it up and go shoot some USPSA matches and learn how it works. There are a few personalities locally that are not overly fun to shoot with. Think open class, out of shape, and big ego and you’ll begin to picture the people I’m talking about.
I think a key thing is to think and work in amount of care in the aiming and triggering and trying to get better at those. Thinking of slowing down to be more accurate may describe a likely outcome, but not a path of improvement in raw skill.
