I took six months off from USPSA competition and just got back into it. This sport does not care about your ego.
Everything I thought was muscle memory needed recalibration. Draw speed was off by a quarter second, transitions felt sluggish, and my stage planning was rusty. I went from feeling confident at the range to getting humbled by the timer in front of other shooters.
But that is exactly why competitive shooting is the best training you can get. It exposes every weakness ruthlessly and gives you a clear path to improve. If you have been thinking about trying USPSA, stop thinking and sign up for a local match. It will make you a better shooter faster than anything else out there.
