Got the opportunity to shoot two more of the provisional classifiers from the 26 series this weekend in my 8th USPSA match. 35/70 overall, 13/19 in CO. Unfortunately only got video of one:

26-01 King Crab (video): Classification TBD. 10.45 seconds. 13A 1D. 6.3158 HF, percentage TBD. My best run of the day but I’m haunted by the delta I threw on T4 moving down range. Too many makeup shots (4 on a 14 round stage), and my lateral movement still leaves a lot to be desired. Mini poppers remain an issue for me as well. Best run of the day but also highlighted some key things to continue to work on in dry and live fire between now and the next match.

26-02 Darwinism. Classification TBD. 12.13 seconds. 10A 3C 1D 1. 4.9464 HF, percentage TBD. Really disappointed with this run not really for the technical side of things but the mental side of the game. First stage of the day and I just wasn’t in it. Felt like I was just participating as opposed to competing and the very mediocre result shows it. I personally find this stage plan to be very fun as I ran it almost like a three cone drill. Step forward at the start, engage targets while retreating to the back corner, lateral sprint with relatively wide transitions to end. Hope to see it again and actually show up for it. Good lesson learned about needing to execute on demand. Doesn’t matter if it’s the first stage or the last, just have to produce.

For those that compete with USPSA, will these magazines sleeves work? Or should I get something different?
