What are your Shooting goals for 2012

[Rob377]

I've tried it, hasn't helped me that much...

I think for next year I'm going to use Jake's routine.

Pick up a gun the night before a match and practice a few reloads, dry fire at the TV for 5 minutes, reload enough ammo for the next days match, drink myself into oblivion (OK I got that part down), show up 5 minutes before the shooters meeting.

What I save on ammo costs I can spend on alcohol and save myself all that time on the range, not to mention the angst and stress.

I like this idea. Jake is nothing less than a visionary.

 

[BillD]

Indeed

Here is what I used for several years that I attribute to my trigger speed

Makes you hate him even more doesn't it?

 

[jwfuhrman]

My goals are to shoot a ton of Multigun... More than I already do. Plus hopefully not have my Multigun Series suck..... Here's to hoping I'm not a ****ty MD.....

Hate is such a strong word

Need to start a need thread with other words to use for Jake Martens

Maybe just a bit

But I'm inspired as well.....


My new off-season training plan:

I haven't practiced once since my last match the 1st weekend in oct.

the old match gun is in pieces on the workbench getting cleaned and a couple of parts replaced before its retirement party.

the new match gun gets in my hands on saturday. the holster is on my Christmas list.

soon the dryfire will begin... the old callouses that have become soft will become bloody and scream with the joyous pain of progress.

or... I'll just decide "I'll practice tomorrow, I want a beer!"

As for the topic of goals... I have not set any and as such will continue to flounder w/ no marked improvement.
Is "don't suck" a goal?
This will be another year of minimal participation.
Hmmm... maybe a goal could be "Beat Dave R at the IN match AGAIN."
I kid. I kid. [Great, I've jinxed the match and it's not even 2012 yet.]

Goals must be measurable and specific. Fixed above

@Rob377
I like the way you think.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

Goals for 2012:
Get more range time.
Reload more, which results in more range time.
Try some competitions.

 

[jakemartens]

My goals
-Get Isabel out to as many steel matches as I can and get her shooting a USPSA match
-Finish top 30 at SS Nat's (win A Class), I was 56 last year (14th A Class)
-Weekly live fire practice
-true dry fire routine
-pull off another Indiana Section Match
-crank out an butt load of ammo to be prepared
-not loose my focus

 

[rugertoter]

To hit targets, that no man has hit before!

Live fire practice session=500rds

500 rds of 9mm (reloaded cost) =~$65.

Bottle of Oban 14 =~$65.

I'm keeping with BillD's "spend ammo savings on booze plan."

Clearly, I've thought this through.

$65 = 5 12 packs of 16oz Miller Lite or
960 oz
or
80 12oz beers
or
a Friday Night, Saturday Night and Sunday Night of drinking

A plan is nothing without execution

That's 26 beers/night.

This is why you're an M and I'm a C.

I am shooting one more match this Season. However, I'm posting my goals for 2012. If I write them out, I may hold myself more accountable.

1. Lose Weight!!! I gained 40 lbs during the season. I will be spending the next 4 months losing it. Trainer already procured. Slow but steady 5 lbs. THis week I increase my training frequency. Weekend diet not exactly exemplary. 'tis the season.

2. Dry Fire, Dry Fire, Dry Fire! 3-4 times per week fro 10-15 minutes at a time. Goal is to drop .4 to .7 consistently from the draw. 1.7 - 2.0 seconds is way to SLOW. Starts tonight. I gave my elbows 3 weeks to heel. They hurt worse...FIDO

3. Practice Mag changes! FACEBOX!!!. Again 3-4 times per week with dry fire. Again, Starts tonight

4. Live fire 1 time per week weather permitting. With shortening days, this will probably be done on Saturday or Sundays. Plan on getting some Bobcat Steel. I will finally work on the Manny Bragg drills that I have

Missed a good opportunity last weekend. Ammo depleted. Still waiting on new 9mm resizing/decapping dye. Adding .40 M&P 4.25" to my M&P Pro family. I will be geting some practice soon

5. Watch Videos of other shooters daily. I need to work on movement with a purpose. With the trainer, we have already been working a little with footwork.

Well, that is all I can think of at the moment. I'll add as they come to me.

Figure if I update, I will be more likely to keep pushing through.

got personal range diary over on enos?

great for keeping track of practice and match performance, things you discover, tracking goals, etc. I reference back to mine often.
