I wasn't able to make the steel match on Saturday (in-laws were in town), so Michael and I had to practice Sunday (beautiful weather, although windy). I planned stages that would require minial setup between stages AND used new wall props Michael made. We conducted it per match protocol, trying to simulate match conditions, as usual.
I only had 1 miss this time, so close to a clean practice. I feel like I did well, except for that time I couldn't see my hits with all that tape & I took an unneeded extra shot. My weak-hand was decent this time. My movement was pretty good.

Thanks to Michael & his family for the range time!

Lessons: 1) don't look for hits, feel them 2) on low-point stages, you can afford to go a little slower (not many targets, better get good hits)
