My first competition

[Lisa]

Quick note. Long ago my shooting coach was having a hard time getting a students grip consistant (that would be me). He finally told me to grip the rifle like I would a rattlesnake, firm enough so I wouldn't drop it, but light enough so I wouldn't hurt it either. Fixed it in a heartbeat and it has stuck with me for all these years. The grip improved my scores better than ANY other fix I ever did (other than practice, practice, practice!!)

Well...umm...I have never actually seen a real rattle snake, nevermind actually have to grab one, LOL, but I think I get your point.

Right now I have a large sized grip that came with the gun. I have asked the supplier to change it out and send me a medium grip because I find the large one fills my hand too much and my grip isn't consistent.

Thanks for the advice.

I WON GOLD!!!!!

Okay...so...I was the only marksman woman, LOL!

The weekend was fantastic! 194 shooters from USA, Canada, Japan and Australia, plus coaches.

I did decent considering I was fighting jittery nerves during the first match. I shot a 291/400 which is lower then my personal best. My second match was much better at 315/400 which matched my personal best.

So, once again, thanks everyone for your support. I can't wait until next year!

Great Job!

Aren't you glad that your a participant now and no longer a spectator? I bet by next year, you will be even more incredible! The concentration you gain in your marksmanship training probably carries over to your MA.

Ain't she a peach?

Lisa, you rock and you know you do. When we talk and you start talking about shooting you get excited and I love being your friend and I'm so darn happy for you!!

Even if no one else in the division showed up, you have a nice little ditty for your collection and I'm sure you'll win many, many more.

*Points to Lisa* Ain't she great?? :boing1:

I think I should change this title to "My shooting matches"

Had a competition this weekend. Shot 341/400 which is a 16 point climb on my personal best.

The best news however, is my little daughter who shot a 375/400 increasingher personal best by 20 points! Taking 1st lady and 2nd overall! WHOOT! She was so pumped when she came off the line and has continued to have a smile on her face for the past couple of days. She has been walking around the house blurting out "I shot 375!" over and over again with a big grin on her face!
