Next up, I hope to get a better grasp on speed. Getting comfortable with rapid fire, and then really dialing in with accuracy, all while maintaining the most important aspect of shooting: safety. This has been so fun and rewarding for me; I feel so lucky to have found this hobby when I did :)

For this qualifier I really focused on every shot as if it were my first one, dialing in on my fundamentals of grip, sights, and a slow and consistent trigger pull. I didn’t take forever, but every shot was calculated and therefor accurate. I didn’t let my ego tell me not to focus on these anymore.

-being conscious of “ego” and how my ego was really the biggest thing getting in my way of succeeding, and heavily contributing to my performance anxiety. I’m hoping these mental lessons will also translate to USPSA matches because I got another one next week!!

lol me af

Yeah I’ve never been happier doing it as a side gig haha I totally agree

Like idk but if I had to be in 5 different ensembles just to think about living somewhat comfortably I’d be overwhelmed as fuck idk what I was thinking when I decided to be a musician lol

Yeah I mean I get it but considering how hard musicians have to work to even think about auditioning for a spot like that and then the amount that we are expected to be prepared idk it just doesn’t add up lol. The problem is lack of funding for the arts tbh

YIKES THATS ROUGH

Beautiful!!

I was thinking about teaching violin lessons again 👀

I’m sure this narrative about us is pushed to excuse eugenics :(
