Shooting Goals 2012

With the new year I'm in a resolutiony mood, so I have decided to set some goals, performance and equipment based for the coming year.

My first 50/50 (barely)

• Shoot a 50/50 on Dot Torture at 7 yards. Currently I'm shooting it at 4, and hitting 48/50.
• Shoot a consistent sub 6 second FAST drill. Ideally I'd love get to a point where I can shoot sub 5s but that may be a goal for next year.
• Shoot more. I'm considering adding another 50 rounds to my weekly practice. I'm finding 100 round sessions a little short, and I make more progress when I shoot more. 
• Replace the sights on my USP, probably with a set of Heinie straight 8s, unless Ameriglo comes to their senses and starts offering some more HK options. 
• Get a full size M&P 9, and appendix holsters for it and my compact. I really like these guns, but would like to finalize my transition to appendix.
• Shoot a match. USPSA, IDPA, Cowboy Action, it doesn't really matter. I just need to get out there and shoot competitively. 
• Shoot more for fun. Its important to work on skills, and record draw speeds and split times and shoot for score, but not all the time. 

USP 45 CT, a gun you'll hopefully see more of in 2012

These goals may change as the year progresses, and I'd like to come up with some more performance based benchmarks to help me keep developing as a pistol shooter. I should probably shoot some of the more comprehensive drills, like the Humbler, or 99 drill, to see how I stack up. There are also other skills that I would like to incorporate; positional shooting, shooting on the move, and more low light practice. We'll see what the year holds.
