I'm still mostly a solo shooter with the pistol, and finally did a 90-round IDPA Classifier nonstop without discovering I'm short of ammo, having the targets blow off, running out of time, or having a major brainfade or ammo goof.
Raw time was 110.something seconds, but I was 23 points down.
I've fired one or two stages a few times, and have concluded that IDPA Vickers Count (or izzit modified V?) on the Classifer makes it an accuracy match with a premium on speed. With the Stage 1 and 2 draw times all below 2 seconds, Stage 3 at about 2.25 seconds, and shot splits usually around .45 to .55, I'm now wondering--do I keep the speed and improve accuracy, or try to improve both?
For reference, my Stage 1 and 2 raw times are below :30, but Stage 3 this time ran almost :49. The advance and retreat strings on Stage 2 were the fastest.
So, how should I break into Expert times/scores?
