I shot the BNA USPSA match in Hattiesburg, MS on Saturday. I finished 2nd overall behind a Limited GM and 1st in Open, over two Masters.

I got a little sloppy a few times, especially on steel, but other times I was locked in.
I almost won stage 1 overall. I was .27 seconds faster than the winner, but I pulled a D where he shot a C. I still managed 99.74% of a Limited GM on that stage, so I'm proud of myself.
I had a few “aha” moments on calling my shots, which is encouraging since that’s still a work in progress for me. I distinctly remember the last shot on the last target from the first position on Stage 4. I fired off the last shot as I was pulling away, and I saw that it was right at the edge of the target. By the time my brain processed it, I was already a couple steps away so it wasn’t worth going back for a make-up. Luckily that round was on paper, albeit an inch from the edge. That was my only D for the stage, but I'm ok with it because I saw it while shooting.
I’m not sure what happened on the second string of the classifier. My first string felt great, but the second string just felt off. It turns out that it was about a half a second slower than the first string, with worse hits as well. I don’t remember a bad grip or anything, so I’m not sure what happened.
I’ve been working on a lot of turn and draws in dry fire, and I felt like it paid off on stage 6 and in the first string of the classifier.
