NC USPSA Sectional Prep: Whatchu doing?

FatboyFlash said:
I've stepped up my game in preparation. I have double my caloric intake and cut way back on exercise. It was almost nonexistent before but now I think I'm doing so little that it's acting as a multiplier for the calories that I'm taking in!

Trying to be the poser boy for a "Heavy Duty" category? If so I wish you good luck, as poster boy positions are hard to come by.
 
Starting to visualize taking some good pictures for the folks that reached out to me. I came back from this past weekend's CGGR's rifle match with some decent images for what it was. I am still getting used to the zoom lens so I will probably hit up the Sir Walter USPSA match for another learning opportunity. With this cool weather the excitement is starting to set in.
 
I've added a chocolate cake and a gallon of ice cream to my daily regimen. I'm pushing roughly 15000 calories a day. I hope to have that up to 20k by match day.
 
500 rounds livefire yesterday, 500 today...forearms are about shot. Time to recuperate.

After shooting the Low Country match Saturday, I felt that I had a good match overall. I had a bad classifier match several months back, and I have been digging my way out of that debacle since. I think possibly I have managed to "right the ship" and get into C class (yea I had that bad of a classifier match). I figured that I needed a 51% at least to get my classification to C class, and I believe that I made a 58+% on the classifier at the match.

Well I am officially now C class in Single Stack..... Now my goal is not to finish the NC Section match last in C class. ;)
 
Just normal practice. 45 yard bill drills, with no shoots (right at 2.75 seconds is the sweet spot. Any lower and I start throwing Charlie's and deltas but that's down from 3 seconds a month or two ago). And entrances more under control when coming down from full speed. Also been working on confusing orders, good mental exercise. My plan is to decimate my friends and keep my state champion title muhahaha :) but really I cant wait for the match, looks fun.
 
Be careful, I threw a bunch of nails out to slow yall down

Typical Dry Fire transitions & reloads. Also practicing transition from free stile to SHO and WHO. Live fire has been normal practice but emphasis on SHO/WHO.
 
I've been lying!

I've been live firing and dry firing like crazy. Big emphasis on transitions and movement. I've practiced a little strong hand/ weak hand. I've been eating a crap ton of fish and kale and working out like a mad man. I even got some new kicks to help grip da gravel at Rowan. It all may be too little, too late but these last 2 weeks have been steady, focused practice.

I call BS on the kale part

I've been hoping that I actually get to come to the match. With the recent changes at the upper management level of my company it isn't looking real good. It's a great opportunity for me professionally, but not so much for shooting.

Well that's a whole lot of no fun.

Congrats and I'm sorry at the same time. Lol
 
Heading to Rowan with 310 rds

It's true dude. I do actually like kale and eat quite a bit of it.

Deep fried and covered in chocolate?


"Ten years ago nobody ate kale. Then someone (probably a kale farmer or Satan) discovered that kale had some health benefits, and off kale went. Now we are in the middle of a full-fledged kale trend or, as I call it, a kale epidemic. There are kale chips, kale shakes, and even kale salads. I don’t know much about grammar, but I think kale salad is what they call a “double negative.” Kale is a superfood, and its special power is tasting bad. If tasting horrible is an indication of something being healthy, kale is the healthiest thing out there. Kale tastes like bug spray. Once I looked at a can of bug spray, and printed right there on the can was “Made with real kale.” The mantra of the kale lobby is “Kale is so good for you. Kale is so good for you.” So is jogging, but I’m not going to do that either. I’m not against things that are healthy. Well, not in principle. My issue with kale is a simple one. Kale is not edible. It is amazing the lengths we will go to in order to be able to stomach kale: “All you have to do is freeze-dry it, cover it in cayenne pepper, put it in a shake, and bury it in the ground.” It doesn’t matter what you do to kale: it still tastes like bitter spinach with hair. I suppose some people don’t care what it tastes like. “Kale is so good for you.” As for me, taste is too important. They could find out kale cures cancer and I’d say, “No thanks, I think I’ll just do the chemo."

I actually like kale, and spinach, and turnip greens, and mustard greens, and polk greens, and collard greens. Kale and poke used to grow wild and that's why we ate them. They were free.

Actually my wife recently (last week) cooked some Kale just like she cooks collards. I was skeptical about eating it, as the only time I had previously had it the stuff was bitter and unpalatable. To my surprise my wife made it taste as good (if not better) than most collards, spinach greens, mustard greens, or turnip greens I have ever had.

Kale sucks! And it does taste like a bitter ball of hair! Now those other greens you mention are dee-lish, especially with a lil bit of vinegar. :p
