Phase 1 and Phase 2 have translated nicely into match performance. Most USPSA targets are 7-15 yards and I found myself using varying levels of confirmation. Best part is that it was subconscious.
Live fired this to close out February's drill. The results:
3yd:
.94 = .79 .15
.99 = .83 .16
.96 = .8 .16
I had one shot high right, the very first shot of the string, which I dropped from my measurements, leaving me a 4 x 5 1/2 inch group.
7yd, single target:
1.39 = 1.14 .25
1.28 = 1.04 .24
1.17 = .98 .19
I had a low left shot from the second string, which when dropped left me a 6 1/2 x 3 inch group.
7 yds, transition (somewhat wide, about 20 inches center to center on the circles, but it's as close as I can manage it right now with the target stands I've got):
1.82 = 1.02 .27 .29 .24
1.91 = 1.06 .29 .28 .28
1.88 = 1.14 .25 .27 .22
1.75 = 1.02 .25 .24 .24
left hand target with one shot dropped = 5 3/4 x 6
right hand target with all shots counted = 4 1/2 x 4 1/2
15 yards, also 20 or so inch transition:
2.78 = 1.37 .47 .47 .47
2.85 = 1.38 .52 .48 .47
2.76 = 1.51 .43 .42 .40
left target, one flyer dropped was 6 1/2 x 4
right target, all shots was 5 1/2 x 6
Over the last couple of months, I have definitely shrunk the groups. The times are easy to reach, though as today's shooting shows I was slightly too cautious and went a little bit over on a few, especially the 7 yard transition string, where I shot unaccountably slow splits. It's fine...next time I work on this I will bring those times down to a more steady .2 or thereabouts without seriously changing the accuracy.
O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason.
Sort of….
It’s a lot to process visually and I’m playing catch up on that front. I have a general sense where they hit. So the high ones I knew they were high but I couldn’t pinpoint a specific spot. The ones I drug I knew I did because I stopped my vision on the edge of the paper for some reason I don’t know.
And are you ready for more?
