Placed third yesterday in a state level USSL steel match in Production division. I shot my P226. I won a stage or two (out of 12) and placed third or so in a few others, but crashed and burned on a couple and got 7th or so. Made STUPID mistakes. Stage round counts were relatively high and I'm not used to production rules and lots of reloading.

Video footage shows my draw is improving and time to first shot on target is improving. Still second tier shooter among my local group though. The guys who placed first and second are those who always win. I've beat one or the other in the occasional fluke "handgun" match but heads up with the same equipment and division I don't think I've beat them both outright. They were within a point of each other and I was about 25 points back, one point ahead of 4th place.

94 degrees and sunny all day. Wears you out. Had my daughter shooting with me. She started out in CO but when the front sight broke off my M&P CORE she switched to our backup PX4 and just shot "limited" but was scored as CO of corse. She had been relying on the sights to find the dot and it really messed her up when the front sight went missing.

She shot the Beretta so well the other guys in my squad were saying, "You know you're going to have to give her that pistol now, right?"

Congratulations on placing in the top 3 in your match. You seem to recognize where you need to improve, so that is a huge plus for you to get better.
I was once told and like the saying "the person who wins, is the person who made the least amount of mistakes".

Very wise words!
