Great shooting! Can’t believe you only get the 5 min and no walkthrough before the match. That’s a challenge in itself. You said you didn’t get to train as much IPSC prior to the match. What does training for IPSC look like? Also, how do you train for such short visualization periods?

[@dylankeppel]

3min for short courses. You get used to it

[@nuclearwaste002]

Usually the first step in the walk-through is identifying all the targets, its not uncommon in IPSC stages for competitors to miss targets. a common saying is "an average stage plan executed well is better than a good stage plan executed poorly". you have very little time to find the 'perfect' plan, find something decent and stick to it.

I did a ton of in-line focused fundamentals training over the last year, in a similar fashion to how I’d drill those skills in a class. I wish I had done more skills integration type training where you’re incorporating complex shooting tasks and movement and stuff. I found that a lot of those fundamentals skills that are present under pressure, standing still (class demos) weren’t present when moving around and shooting way more technically demanding stages. The visualization challenge I think you have to practice working with less. Since the match I’ve gone totally away from visualization rehearsal after the “make ready” and try to work with 3-4 visualization reps max per drill attempt when doing training on transitions.

@@nuclearwaste002 that advice holds equally valid with unlimited time to walk stages. It’s pretty uncommon to find an irresistibly advantageous stage plan after loosely exploring the more obvious ones. Basically all of my stage planning decision making is about building in safety, consistency, and simplicity. Rarely am I concerned about minor raw time advantages.
