I shot in ALSPPC's USPSA match yesterday.
I shot like crap for the most part. It probably wasn't a good idea to stay up till 2 AM the night before drinking beer. Oh well.
There were some positives though.
I crushed my previous El Presidente time/points. Unfortunately, it wasn't the qualifier the club is sending to USPSA.
I finally shot a Texas Star clean with a pistol! Karl Rehn has given me some tips on this blog and in email that helped a bunch. I had a perfect sight picture on every shot, I can still remember it actually, and a nice smooth trigger press, and the plates just fell one after the other.
Generally when I wasn't doing dumb shit the shots and hits were there.
One scary thing at the match, was when an older gentleman had a heat episode. He fell out of his chair and hit the concrete slab. Hard. I thought he was dead right there. His eyes were wide open staring straight up, didn't appear to be breathing. I've seen people fall out from heat exhaustion before and usually they are like, "I don't feel so good", and then they kind of crumple. This was like someone hit the off switch. Scary. He came around after a little bit, and sat in my car with the AC on until the EMS arrived and looked after him. Hope he's ok. This heat is not something to be taken lightly.
Update: Scores
On Fluffy's Revenge I shot a "C" level performance, according to classifier calc.
On El President I shot a "B" level performance says the calc, but that was not the classifier that day. Damn.
I came in 15th out 31 overall, I was the only one shooting in Single Stack.
