USPSA Custer May 2016 - Mental Game Achievement Unlocked
Was a fun match today. The Custer Sportsmen's Club organized a match inspired by the upcoming Area-1 stages which was really interesting. It was a very close match against a buddy of mind JohnV from TN, we were trading 5-10points throughout the entire match until the last stage which became the deciding stage. JohnV edged out a better performance to win by 6 points total. Congrats on getting $1 richer ;)
This match was a mental match for me. I told myself to ignore everything bad and good that will happen. Leave the stage as is and move on. I was trying to get into a place where I can focus on shooting and not let anything affect me, especially worrying about my times, scores and the need to catch up to someone else.
Although I didn't win the match and was slow in some stages, I am proud to say that I've learned how to get into the zone and shut everything out. Now all I need to do is to trust that this works and shoot my best game every time. (Thanks Steve Anderson)

The Northwest Challenge is a fabulous Level II USPSA match held by the Northwest Section at the Paul Bunyan Rifle Club in Puyallup, WA. It's been a while since we had a match like this. Thanks to the hard work put in by Scott Pries and his group of volunteers, we got to shoot one of the most fun matches in a while. This year's match theme is Hollywood Blockbusters. See how many movie references you can spot!
Thanks to all the sponsors for making this match a reality. See more pics and videos at the Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/USPSANorthwestChallenge2014

Not super crazy about my shooting today but decent enough I guess. Was pretty fun shooting with a squad full of new shooters. Just glad they came out to shoot, hope they'll continue with the sport.

This was a fun one, lucky I managed to get out to shoot it. It's always fun and humbling to shoot an all steel match. You either hit it, or not, very simple yet challenging as you have to balance speed and taking a little bit more time to aim.

Tim was the better shooter. He was more consistent with his time and accuracy. I was a wash. I won some stages and was much faster but the risk of running on the ragged edge is that you risk bombing a stage, or in my case, two stages.

Really nice weather to shoot, although it started a little wet but it cleared up towards the middle and end of the day. Had a really good consistent match and got to ride the monorail again which is always fun.
