Hi everyone,
I've been out of the USPSA game for awhile (about a decade), getting back into it soon so I've been doing some practicing. One of my friends picked up a timer, so we went out in a field today, set up a couple of classifiers, and started practicing.
We spent quite a bit of time on this stage: https://uspsa.org/viewer/06-03.pdf
I used www.classifiercalc.com to pull scores and classifications. A decade ago I was a "C" in production. Today, between El Presidente and the link I sent above ("Can You Count") I was mostly scored as a C class, a few B's thrown in. On one of the last runs, I shot the best string I've ever shot and just barely squeaked into A-class. I had my friend videotape me in slow-mo and after watching it, I can't really find a place where I just plain wasted time. And I shot a 98 score (all "A" hits except one "C"). Per the timer, "BEEP" to first shot was 1.21 seconds, magazine change was 1.90-ish seconds, splits between shots were in the .18 to .25 second range.
So, the question - those split times in the last line there, what do I need to work on the most? The mag change being slowest by a large margin seems to be it, but what do other people run? What are the split times of a Grand Master? Wondering where to focus practice.
Thanks in advance!
Dustin
