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!!!!
Just what I needed this morning. My stage planning is getting better. But always nice to hear how others think. And did anyone notice the rainbow over the golden boys head? Nice stage props
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 !
Great content! I wish more people did this! Might even be a good idea for a series/playlist... I know it would benefit myself (selfishly) to see more of these. Thanks again @Tom
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.
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.
What a crappy ass stage. I cannot believe it has a start mark that is not the Texas T or more importantly why isn't it a start anywhere? 😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

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.
Awesome breakdown Tom! Thank you!
I feel bad for the competitors that haven't watched this video! This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!
This!!! Exactly what I need 2 weeks out from Nationals. Perfect, Thanks Tom!!

Great video
Great video. Miss seeing brother.
This is a great detailed breakdown of stage planning. Thanks for sharing and thinking out loud what goes on in your head for stage planning.
the reload where it feels good vs round count perspective is new to me and makes perfect sense!!!

Sucks to be in hawaii 10rd only for pistol so we do reload a lot.
@@brianpeterdy6325 nothing changes. Just add them later. I started with 10 rds when I started.

Newb question: Why not attack left to right?
@@ManleyArts The distance was too far away to run before shooting and gaining points.
@@TCSA Ah, gotcha. Excellent video, keep up the great work!
Seems like a lot to do in 5 minutes. lol
@@levirocks34 it’s really not 😂😂😂
Yes… it seems that way. 😂
