Record what went well and what did not.
Lessons learned.
1- ran to the bunker and stopped. go to the side of the trigger arm and never stop.
2- Missed or did not engage, due to blocked view and re engage
3 – Ran to C and D box, should have gone straight to pistol
4- The folks who have not shot a good bit of USPSA/IDPA are not that accurate.
lots of misses. In the case of the plates, they do not have a lot of area compared to the IPSC classic or the 3gun nation round. ie. you have to be more accurate.
5- Guns have to run clean. no jams, or issues. Lube the AR’s up and clean them before a match.
6- Know your magazines. Load 30 or 28, or 18 etc. Need to know before the match
7- Get video the only way to really get and idea of body mechanics and thought process
8- Keep pistol up high at reload. bringing down takes more time to refocus

SELF CRITIQUE:
What did you do well:
Steel
Small Targets
Large Targets
Reloads
Draw etc.
Same for what did you do not so well: This will be what the next training session implements at 80% Time.
The self-critique will be the drill areas for next training session. Train hard on the things you do not do well.
Spend 80%Training time on those issues. If there are more than three areas, pick the three that will save the most time.
