So June 2012 is here. I finally shot my first reg shoot last Sunday at Birds in Ca.. High was a 96, I shot a 87, I started off running first 4 stands, than dropped one on each stand and had trouble with shooting in front of a few targets and than the wind which really kicked up cost me a few. First shoot of the year..I was not unhappy.
I was able to shoot the NV state shoot at Carson Valley gun club in Gardernville. I had the honor of shooting with some very good shooters and my friends from Ca Chris Stevens and Brono L. they where great to shoot with. I got to shoot the 50 target fitasc the prelim and the main with them. For some reason I started to flinch very bad on Sunday and that cost me any chance of winning anything. Oh well I enjoyed shooting with my wife who won the ladies class without a problem.
Before I left for HI with the shoot for a cure shoot crew. We got to shoot at Quail Point in northern Ca. I really enjoy shooting that this club! Matt does a great job of setting targets high was Andy H from Reno with a 90 I shot a 88, I was a wee bit disappointed but I started out very bad and came on strong in the end..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I have said I started out the year shooting well, But ran into a brick wall at the US Open.
It has taken me months to get back on track. With much help and new ear plugs so I can jam with the tunes and keep my mind busy and my flinching has cut down to almost nothing.
Browning Briley March 4-6
See write up for Shoot. I shot ok it was a wee bit hard to get started on fri and only shot a 81, did not run stands like I am used to doing. The Main on Fri (purple) was kind of the same, but looking at the scores a 60/66 was high and I had a 56 if I was able to adapt faster I feel a 61 would have been good. We shot the gold sat with a 53/66 in the rain only a small issue with stand six's 90 but I will work it that target. Sunday was Green I think it was the hardest or maybe it was just the way I shoot with a 56/68 the double teal on stand 9 and 5 where a butt kicker to me, more to work on LOL
Fitasc was at a whole not bad but I had two brain fades where I did not get into the gun and messed up about 8 targets,,
I will use that as a learning experience.
Feb 6th weekend 2011
See write up for AZ open. I shot well on fri with a 92 getting 3 punches and some AA points. Sat my head was in the wrong place and shot a 85 brought it back a wee bit on Sun with a 91.
Fitasc took me a while to get on track 3 layouts in fact LOL But I did shoot a 23 on last layout than I was ready to start over,
Shot 5-stand on Sat with a whole 18 on 1 and a 24 on 2,, my last time I will ever shoot 5-stand, I just never have any fun shooting it. For now LOL
Sept 28th
See write up in tournament reviews for AZ Shoot, I finished in the top 10 so any time that happens I am happy, But I always feel I could have shot better.
