Goals for 2011

So it's a new year, and that means that it's time to assess my goals from last year, and set new goals for the next year-- both regarding Defensive Tactics and USPSA.

Unfortunately, things haven't changed much since my last goal update. Though, in regards to two of the goals, I have done a little better-- I am better at manipulating a shotgun, though I still need a little help with my AR. I can manipulate it fairly well, but slowly. I need a lot of time to make sure that I am doing things safely and correctly. Also, my transitions (between targets) while not perfect, have gotten a lot better, a lot quicker.

Given my shortcomings in the previous year, perhaps I should make more moderate goals. I think last year, I got a little over zealous.

USPSA Goals:

1. Move to B class in production.
2. Work further on trigger preparation.
3. Speed up movement between shooting positions. (Note: I mean, run instead of walk to new shooting positions, practice getting the gun up faster, transition between targets is different.
4. Write commentary for all matches.
5. Track classifier percentages and blog improvement.


Defensive Tactics Goals:

1. Take a concealed carry class-- since this time next year I will be 21.
2. Acquire a good carry holster and practice with it.
3. Read and write reviews of six defensive tactics or self defense books.

General Goal:

1. Post goal updates every two months to hold myself accountable for meeting these goals. :)
