    I attended several matches this past Summer. IDPA, Steel Challenge, Multi-gun, Cowboy Action.

    I need to do this also. When you guys practice dry fire what are the goals? And how do you specifically do it? Snap caps? Hammer drop with each shot? What about for .22? Can you stick a empty case in for dry firing? As you can tell by the questions, I am a noob.:)

    Here's some reading on how to dryfire.....

    1. Don't get hurt.
    2. Continue to use matches for shooting and gun handling practice.
    3. Have fun doing it (which is the only way I'll continue to do #2).

    1) Have Fun
    2) Get use to the speed of Open or get back to Production
    3) Shoot more than 8 USPSA matches
    4) Finish my classification in Production
    5) Depending on my work life, move to the next classification to where I belong (wherever that might be)
    6) Hit more than 1 Major
    7) Stock up on ammo like Chaney
    8) Enjoy the small things, with decently okay, mildly old, sometimes overweight, gun buddies :stickpoke:

    It's a stable shooting platform not being overweight. All the weight you lost threw off your center of gravity :D

    Ill get more serious on goals as the new year approaches, but off the top of my head:

    -Shoot competitively with my newly minted A-card in Limited (I don't want to be a "paper" anything)
    -Shoot more local & Major 3-gun matches.
    -Finish strong at major 3-gun matches (first page is the goal)
    -Dryfire more with all 3 guns (pistol, shotgun, rifle). I had a fairly decent year last year, and want to see what dedicated practice can get me. Ideally, a few times a week with USPSA pistol, 1-2 days a week with shotgun.
    -Get classified in Open to give me a classification in all 6 divisions

    Give enough work back to the sport to be an asset to the organizers / fellow shooters & be there for set up at every match I shoot at my own club.

    Have fun on the days I don't shoot as well as I want to.

    Promote & practice safe shooting.

    Keep trying to improve.

    Stop getting beat by somebody 20 years older than you...:whip:
    Dam I didnt think you were 62.
    When I get done with you next year you will go back to the old man division!:D
    I am not ashamed of where I finished last match considering not touching that pistol for 2 months. In the grand scheme of things you should have beat me by more than 0.716%.
    But I will allow you your illusions!
