Melody Line Practice

Melody Line Practice

Ten days since my last live fire, and just a few days of practice since my burn out, so I dropped in at Alpha Range this morning to get a little work done on CM99-08 Melody Line in advance of tonight's match. Knowing that I could earn my "B" card with two classifiers above a 68% means I really need to get this one right tonight, and coming off burn out, without a full week of dry fire is not a good start. So, let's get right into the meat of the morning.

So, to summarize, get my hits, get my 60%.  My turn and draw and reload were generally crappy, so I'm going to spend 40 minutes or so before I go to the match tonight just drying firing my draw, and getting my reload back to par. The sad thing, is that my reload practice par time is 1.40 seconds, and I was hitting it 90%+, and was going to set it down to 1.30 right when I was getting burnt out. This means, that I could easily shave off half a second on both my draw and reload.

Tonight, I'm just going to relax, I know what to do, how to do it, and I'm just going to enjoy it. My only "C" run this morning had a mike, and more charlies than alphas, so it proves getting hits matters. Hopefully I'll have some good video tomorrow.
