Ok, i'm all-in.. Screw it, the past few times i've been moping around not shooting much pistol nor rifle. So now i'm gonna go for it, i'm aiming for the high master. Its been 3 months since i last shot the match AR:
200 Yard Slow Offhand: 187-1x
200 Yard Rapid Sitting: 90 (oh lordy)
300 Yard Rapid Prone: 91-1x (even worse)
600 Yard Slow Prone: 99-5 (stupid 9)
Total: 467-6x (sadness)
And it shows. At least i'm still in the 470 range, which i consider it like maintenance shooting, shoot just to keep a skill level barely afloat. If i was to do that, then theres no reason to shoot high power at all if, all i hit is the same score. I need some sort of evolution, growth, lust, desire to go at it. Before it was kinda easy, scores just kept going as you get more comfortable and theres an attainability to it. I must go for it in the same way to go for the High Master Class. I was talking to some of the other shooters, and some see it as an actual competition, where you must outshoot others. I see it as personal growth, if you shoot in the 420's theres no way you can go after someone in the 470's in an instant. Theres an evolution to it.
So i've gotta practice at home at least a few times a week, and i need a different style of rapids. I used to own on them, but i went for this different technique of breathing and it has worked for my groups but not for my scores. My rapid groups are beautiful, tight groups, but they're hitting at the wrong place. Guessing where they go is the hard part. One weirdness was on one of my last slow prone shots, i started getting vertigo while looking through the sights. The post was fixed under the target, but the rear aperature was moving all over. It was both bizarre as well as hypnotizing, somehow i decided to pull the shot and it was a 10. I haven't had one of those oddities in a while.
Got home, cleaned the AR, and punched some holes in a wall.
The bright glow is from the TV. We bought these sconces from illuminations, right before they skipped outta stonestown. Finally more stuff on the walls, i still feel that the walls around the house are barren, except for the computer / loader room.
Nothing like an Old High School Rifle Team Photo to the left, some bullets and a wise saying behind the reloader. I hear that this particular picture isn't sold anymore. I like the daisys hanging off their ghillie suits.
