  • One of the biggest challenges I see shooters having is how to break down stages.
    Stage planning is something that becomes easier the more you do it.
    This video should give you a little insight on how I breakdown stages.

    Excellent information, just finished my first season coming up short of B class. This video is very important to the development of your shooting skills, glad there are guys like Tom Castro out there that share their experience and knowledge.

    As a new shooter just got my 1st classification "C" by far my achilles heal is stage planning which I already knew was ABSOLUTE TRASH!!!!! This is the most informative and beneficial video I've watched and will help make me more competitive. My plans led to hesitation in my shooting which is my biggest barrier to becoming more competitive in my local matches. GONNA WATCH OVER AND OVER THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

      If you think his videos are good, go to a class. You’ll learn more in two days than in a season of tips from range buddies.

      One thing that has been impressed on me is the necessity to walk or run or visualize the stage 12-20 times before you run it. I'm told you want to have your stage plan in your subconscious. Not sure I ever do. That means once you have a plan you are working hard until it's your turn to shoot. There is no resting. Don't be shy about asking for help in planning but in the end you have to do what works for your skill level and body type. At 5'2" I don't have the reach or sight of vision as a 6' person.

    Thanks for this! The first part of your process was missing in my stage walk strategy. Just looking at all the target options from each position before make decisions on what to shoot from there. Makes sense! 🙌

    I really appreciate when I can collaborate on stage planning at a match with a more experienced, higher ranked shooter. When you play smarter not harder , it’s amazing how many more points you can rack up !

    Regarding the 4 steel and paper. Thoughts/ options…
    1: Enter on steel, back out on paper
    2: Enter on paper, settle in and exit on steel.
    Q1: what do you think is the hf difference entering vs leaving on paper? I think for most of us entering on paper is slightly faster and more accurate.
    Q2: would leaving on steel and risking leaving steel up or missing the last steel a few time as your brain is already thinking about the exit before the final shot in steel factor into the decision?
    Thought: Entering in steel forces me to take that careful shot and gives me instant audible feedback telling me if that shot was a hit or miss, allowing for a fast makeup shot if needed. As I exist on paper I more confident in my shots since I just drilled 4 long distance steel, the paper is close and easy on the way out.

  • @Frostburn777
    @Frostburn777 6 місяців тому +1

    How do you remember which targets you've already shot? When I'm rushing through the stage, I'm not thinking about my plan or what I've already shot. I just do what feels natural, and sometimes that leads to shooting the same targets twice.

      @@Frostburn777 that all happens in the breakdown. You stage plan everything including where you are going to shoot targets from. That way it just becomes subconscious.
