Why worry about it it means nothing really. Sure if you go to a sanctioned match it does but then again you will be shooting with other guys who either practiced it and can shoot the classifier well or guys who shoot the classifier poorly but are decent shooters. I see no big deal being a marksman or sharpshooter or expert for that matter. Just go out, play by the rules and shoot it like a regular stage.
Does it effect the money you make? Does it effect the fun you have? Why stress it?
Tell that to Mudcat jr...
plus I don't have to conceal to do it
Best reason I have ever heard to run a classifier!!!
Mudcat- performing well gives me a foothold on the smack-talk that proceeds after a match. The better I do, the more smack-talk I can pour out. Thus, I need to do well

I knew the adult perspective couldn't survive in this environment.
Any of youse ever find something that seemed to really help improve your IDPA shooting?
A particular thing to practice, a practice schedule, or a way to think when shooting or whatever?

trigger - sight - transition.
Dry firing is good practice as well. But one of the areas that I know I can make time up in is the draw and mag changes. I have practiced the draw, acquired my sites and then went straight to a mag change. I've practiced all three types of mag changes. For anyone that has watched Jr do a mag change, there is time to made there!!
Appreciate the advice from all.
You get these epiphonies during practice that sometimes seem good to hold onto and sometimes turn out to be chimeras (I'm practicing odd words that I don't really understand).
Seemed like I could shoot more accurately last time if I sort of inserted a mental step between sighting and pulling the trigger. Sort of aim-recognize-fire instead of aim-fire. Adding steps is bass ackwards to improving speed one would think, but maybe to get to where you can call your shots it is neccessary to have some sort of a recognition step twixt the ears?
