I worked and shot the Indiana state steel challenge saturday. The experience was humbling at least. Our first stage was smoke and hope. Oh boy was I embarassed I am so use to shooting uspsa targets. Now dont get me wrong I am not that bad of a shot but you couldnt tell it then. So I really started focusing on my front sight and my times and hit started to improve a bit. And I noticed I was really noticing my front sight rise with each shot which I thought that I was before but to my surprise I wasnt really seeing it. The other thing that I noticed that helped was getting my arms to full extention without locking the elbows. Once I started doing both of these things together I noticed that I was gettting alot better times by the end of match. The best thing about this revelation was that It seemed to transfer to the uspsa match Sunday at Wabash which just tickled me to death cause I had a great match there if I am not mistaken I shot the match clean with pretty good times. Even had a great classifier which is very unusual for me. I was just thinking about it and thought that I would pass along my experience maybe it will help somebody else. Needless to say I will probably be shooting steel more often. Using steel as training day for front sight focus doesnt seem to bad to me.
