You'll feel more confident , have a plan in mind ( until the buzzer goes off anyway...head shots guys...head shots ! LOL) and things will move more smoothly.
:iagree: I can guarantee that more than a few times you will have a plan in your head that will disappear as soon as you hear "beep"

I'm pretty sure that all of the timers came off the set of Men in Black.....the buzzer is a mind eraser designed to make you forget that you even had a plan, much less what it was.


:iagree: This explains a lot!!!

I was a new shooter a few months back. It's seems like it took a few matches to get over the nervousness of the competition (safely moving w weapon, rules, COF, etc.). After that it all starts clicking and you'll start picking up time and accuracy. BTW I didn't recieve the e-mail scores, either my writing was too sloppy or they didn't like that I was most accurate ;-) PM inbound to Canvasback.

re: Sundays
Be sure to call and check about Sundays. My last converstaion with the folks at the AR was they had canceled some (all ?) due to other uses of the bays.

They cancelled Sunday mornings "until further notice." They've been running some Living Social event on Sundays that was conflicting.
