KSTG Match at the NRA Range: Tu 1-May

[JV_]

I have plenty of room for improvement too.

Don't we all.

Thanks to the SO's and the NRA Range Staff for the well-run KSTG match. Good COF, light fixture bonus points, and overall good fun shooting. Thanks to all the volunteers. Stage 4 reminded me how important my safety glasses are.

Looking forward to the next one. Memorial Day is it?

Glad I made it out.
Thanks again to everyone who helped with it.
With it being my first KSTG match, my score is probably poop, but I'm really glad I made it out. It's given me some insights into what sort of things I should be working on, and other things I probably don't as much. I'm looking forward to the next one!

Another satisfied customer. Thanks to everyone who made it such a pleasant experience. I'll be prepared with more loaded mags next time.

As for the results, the bad news is that I've got a lot to work on. The good news is that each weakness in my shooting is another reason to hit the range.

This was my first KSTG match as well and it was a helluva lot of fun. My thanks go out to all of the volunteers who helped put the match on as this truly is a fantastic opportunity to practice things like shooting on the move and target transitions that we just can't do in a normal range session - all with the added stress of the timer and spectators of course.

While I'm generally happy with my performance given it was my first match, I also identified quite a few areas for improvement. I made one big mistake halfway through one of the stages by choosing not to take the half second to adjust my grip (which had gotten screwed up somehow) and my accuracy suffered quite a bit as a result. I've been replaying that stage over and over in my mind since I left the range. Anyone else been dwelling on/analyzing their mistakes constantly this evening?
