What are your 2024 Goals ?

[ChrisWay]

Is your goal really the goal?



Reflecting on the year becomes especially enjoyable when considering how annual cycles, suchas competitions and hunting went. As this year concludes, I’ve contemplated the learning,unlearning, and skill refinement cycles throughout the shooting seasons. There’s a discerniblepattern marked by waypoints that signify progress, serving as guiding lights in navigatingchallenges and steering toward future success. Let’s examine these waypoints to avoid losingour way along the journey toward our goals.



Start of the Season



Commencing a season typically involves having an idea of what we want to achieve. However,the first clear indicator of accomplished goals often involves establishing explicit, measurable,and achievable waypoints toward a larger destination. Successful individuals, myself included,tend to achieve higher success rates when considering both short-term and long-termobjectives. Short-term waypoints provide immediate motivation and...

Goals regarding shooting. Last year was my first full year competing in the local 600 yard BR club. First week out I got small group award. The last match I got small group (5 shot .941 group) and also won the Light Gun match. The 5 matches in between were way too inconsistent. So my goal is to be more consistent in my loading, my bench set up and probably most important me and how I approach the match mentally and my mechanics.

 

[Birddog6424]

Crush my enemies..
See them driven before me..
And hear the lamentations of their women..

 

[Mormegil87]

Consistency.

Eliminate as many mental errors as I can.

Finish the season using the same gear I started it with.

Get back into the Top 5 at our local matches

Get back into the Top 20 at a PRS Pro Series event.

Rifle EIC medal, maybe 2, keep scores above the cut, make Master.

Finish the season using the same gear I started it with.

I bet my scores would be better if I wasn't always messing with stuff. This is a good goal.

 

[Darkside-Six]

Mine is just to be able to get back to shooting. Had a pretty intense shoulder surgery back in November with an approximate 6-7 month recovery time so I’ll be happy when I can just get back behind the rifle.

 

[ForgeValley]

Figure out who I am as a shooter? In the last 3-4 years I have shot prs, field matches, elr... Not focusing solely on any of them. Maybe just accept I am a jack of all trades, master of none? Perhaps my goal should be to be as well rounded a precision rifle shooter as I can be and have fun doing it.

 

[Sblzrd65]

PRS Rimfire is my goal for the year.

 

[Baron23]

My goal for 2024....live to see 2025.

Yes, you are welcome to this happy thought for yourself also. haha

 

[Xcount]

My goal is to get through TWO stages without dropping an F bomb. It's a lofty goal but I need to start somewhere.
Get some actual training.
Train.

 

[Kfive73]

Make 5 local matches.
Maybe make one two day match.
Better time management.

 

[Dead Eye Dick]

Throw out any real plans for 2024, hope to survive with decent vision to 2025 and then take on a limited number of centerfire matches and getting into rimfire matches.

 

[Niles Coyote]

More consistency in my two day scores and move from my 84.4% average to 90%+ finishes.

 

[EbTac]

Consistently be top 5 In PRS local matches and I'd be ecstatic to be top 20 in Central region after the finale. Software goals- be bolder on wind correction/ taking the time to actually measure a miss and apply that data on follow up shot. Learn to be more stable and not take a wobble shot. Use up more of the shot clock, I would easily leave 20-30 seconds on the clock.

 

[Fx51LP308]

As far as Shooting/2A goes:

1) Find a decent range, now that I've lost JTAC.
2) Acquire more ammo for strategic purposes (i.e. combat shortages, etc.).
3) Complete my other "builds."
4) Maybe a P-322 for plinking.
5) Start saving up for a DW CBOB 45.

 

[VargmatII]

Competitions are over for my part. I plan to start building suppressors. Have multiple ideas on design and manufacturing.

ForgeValley:

Clint Smith of ThunderRanch applauds you! He wants his students to be students of weapon craft.

Somewhere along the line I became an accidental Mixed Martial Artist (rifle, pistol, precision, revolver, shotgun, AK, AR, etc.). I even dabbled in Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, grappling, and boxing.

It’s been fun.

My goal is to really focus on Natural Point of Aim and reading the wind.
