Just capturing some of my thoughts for the VLOG. Shot as a 67% B class with a CZ AccuShadow
From my BENOS practice diary:

Re-thinking my stage plans

Stage 2 - If i had it to do over again, I would have advanced down the corridor on the left wall to give myself a wide angle on the targets sooner, rather than hugging the right wall like i did. As I leave the position push hard toward the right wall then same thing at the array on the left. Push back toward the left wall hard with a reload and gun up fast on the target on the right. Step while twisting to clear the barricade and take the target on the left, then take the two low partial head boxes. I always do this on head boxes, but I needed to shoot all alphas up to this point then hopefully only dropped bravos on the head boxes. I dropped my splits to .5's-.6's and got all 4 A's. I probably should have rolled with .3's and been OK with BB or AB on each.

Stage 1 - My stage plan went OK. I didn't execute it well, but I think the plan was OK. I went left, shot in on paper, paper, mini popper(MP), MP, reload go to the back right shooting box and shoot in on paper, paper, MP, reload while advancing to the third position. There is a mid low port in front of me with 2 open targets at 5 yards then on my right another port with 2 open targets at 5 yards. I will call the targets T1-T4 left to right T1 and T2 in the first port, 3&4 at the right port. I wanted to shoot while advancing on T1 and shoot in on T2, then shoot while retreating on T3 and T4 before doing a reload on the 180 degree transition to take the mirrored array on the left. Looking at the video I don't think this was as quick as devoting more attention to moving into position and shooting in on T1, shoot T2 & T3 while planted, shoot 1 shot on T4 flat, and begin moving backward out on T4 on the second shot. I think my splits would have been quicker. Then same thing on the next position, but I think i rant that last position OK.

Stage 5 - Pucker Factor. Can't shoot with fear. Shoot with hope and observe what your sights are doing.

Stage 4 - Eye of the Tiger. If the mike would have connected, 100%. I shot it with the appropriate amount of aggression, just either my trigger press or discipline slipped. As the reshoot was basically an identical time, I did this one right.

Stage 3 - There's nothing I would have changed about how I shot this other than all ammo going off on the first strike. Looking at video and how much time I watched the hammer fall on the same round if it had gone on the first strike I would have won the stage, as it is my buddy won it with less than second faster raw time with two more points and I spent at least a second watching the hammer hit the firing pin. So it goes. We can fix this issue.

So how is my training going forward going to change? Probably isn't. Going to keep drilling ASP, grip, and trigger control. going to keep drilling reloads. Might put more of a focus getting into and out of positions in dry fire. I'm going to do some dry fire practice purely on poppers. That continues to be an issue for me. In Live fire I'm going to start drilling on some partial targets and just wailing on them as rapidly as possible, being OK with dropping hits into hard cover just being AWARE when I'm doing it and making it up.

All in all I'm encouraged, my practice is paying off. My big failures for the match were with my prep for it. I concede my head being out of it somewhat being mother hen to a first time shooter, but in January I'm just going to have to stay frosty. I can control all of those things, I'm going to continue to grind it out in the dryfire dojo. I shot my first M class time, which lines up with my Bassham Affirmation, so I'm riding high right now in practice. Onward and upward.
