USPSA Pistol practice
Maiatico Range, Ruther Glen, VA
January 25th, 2015
Limited Division
Minor Power Factor
U Class (unclassified)

My local match was canceled due to rain (chance of flooding the range), so Michael invited me to his backyard range for a little practice. We worked with the limited space and supplies we had. We tried to follow match protocol (for the most part) and tried to time our performance. We had a good time, whether or not our times were good.
My reloading was decent, intratarget splits were good, intertarget splits could be shorter, accuracy was acceptable (could tighten it up a bit), draw and reaction to timer should improve. (I still need to check if my sights are zero'd.)

Thanks to Mike & his family!
