Exceeding Yearly Goals

     So one of my goals for the year was to shoot over a 650 on the 700 point pistol aggregate.  I thought this was a reasonable goal for me and one I should reach with some work.  More mental management than pistol fundamentals but something I would have to work toward.  I have been shooting just below this for months. 

     I had taken the past few weeks off of my training to relax and not burn myself out.  Yes I have shot but no real training.  This morning I thought I would shoot the 700 to get a baseline for the year.  Not having trained I wasnt trying to set a record.  Simply shoot the test.  As I did, I never shot a clean string however never got wrapped around a single shot or string. 

     The end result was the highest score I have shot to date and I have exceeded my goal for the year.  I am pumped and now I am ready to put the 700 behind me for a few months and concentrate on all the other skills I need to work on: draw times, split times, shooting on the move, etc.  I want to really work on my footwork while shooting on the move because lets face it.  We aren't going to be standing still in an engagement.
As you can see, nothing clean, just semi consistent

     Be posting some new stuff soon on a few pieces of my new kit and a few items I saw at SHOT.
