Update time!

December:

Very good month. I shot the Fort Benning 3 Gun match the first weekend of the month. Excellent match! I had a lot of fun, and had an excellent group of people on my squad. I shot well... Had a little trouble on the long range rifle stage, very hard to see far targets with iron sights, and there was a lot of wind (first time with targets past 200 yards). Did fairly well with the pistol and shotgun. I finished 11th in Tactical Irons. I was very happy with the result. I won an Adams's Arms piston conversion kit. I have since bought a new upper (Bravo Company Mid Length), and installed the kit. Absolutely love it...

The only other match in December was a Tuesday night match at Autrey's. Finished 6th in Production, but blew the classifier.

January:

Started off the month with a match at South River Gun Club. I shot in Limited because I had already shot the classifier. But, I blew it (at this point, anything below a 40% is blowing it). Shooting Limited minor didn't help the match overall... I had a stage that i had several misses, which left me with a "0" on the stage... It was a speed stage that I rushed and ... need to remember "slow is smooth ans smooth is fast".

The second weekend I went to a special classifier match at East Alabama Gun Club. I shot Production and Limited 10 (I finally got a .40 so I can make major). I did ok, but my expectations for myself are going up, so I keep looking to improve. I had several good classifiers, and a couple of bad ones... Production average for match: 47.2668 Limited 10 average for match: 42.7911 (this pistol was a police trade in with OLD night sights... I hope to get new sights soon) This score was good enought to get my initial classification in Limited 10 as a "C". For Production, my % will go up, but still solidly in low "C" range.

This weekend was my youngest's birthday.... so, no matches. However, I did get to the range today for some practice. It was a 60+ degree day, perfect to be outside. Practices draw/ time to 1st shot with multiple pistols. I also zeroed my shotgun for slugs out to 50 yards, practiced reloads, killed some clays... overall a great day.
