First match of 2012

Sick as a dog last weekend and missed the first Steel Challenge.  Bummer

However, this weekend was the first USPSA match of the year.  The gun was an absolute jam-o-matic.  I had several over-sized pieces of brass.  I failed to chamber check my match ammo last night which would have almost completely eliminated my problems.

I'd already noticed that accuracy was my biggest problem last year.  This first match I slowed way down and was rewarded by lots of A zone hits.  I dramatically reduced my penalties and hence was the 'first' D class shooter in the match.  I wonder how well I would have done if I hadn't had so many problems running the gun?
