The only "local" match was full (40 slots) at Quantico, so Michael invited me to his backyard range for practice once again! I devised a number of stages that would work within the limited space with minimal setup between stages. We conducted it per match protocol, trying to simulate match conditions. Unfortunately, Michael had some malfunctions to deal with. Overall, it was a lot of fun & good practice, I think! What do you think?
It seems my draw-shots were a little bit improved, now getting below 2sec par time more often. My reloads "under the timer" are still coming in around 2sec. I was pleased to find that shooting while moving wasn't too bad! Hopefully this will all translate into better scores at real matches.

Thanks to Michael & his family for the range time!
Thanks to you for viewing! Please leave a like if you do, subscribe (encourages me to keep going), and comment with conversation, questions, coaching, encouragement, or whatever. I appreciate feedback and interaction.
