Well, I sort of forgot the whole thing with keeping a blog updated. Sort of I want to forget that 2016 ever existed. Year was filled with just endless low points in just every aspect of life.
I even contemplated quiting shooting forever. My handgun game was awful, I hade no energy to train, everything was just *meh*
And the the Norwegian IPSC Rifle Championships took place and everything changed. I went to a small town just north of Narvik in the northern parts of Norway with some of my clubmates. The first day however was a handgun match at the same range as the riflematch and it went AWFUL. I have never had more mikes then that day. I was thinking about just ending competitions and sell all my stuff.
Good thing was, 2 days later, the riflematch started and everything was just fine. I ended up with 21th place in Open division out of ~110. Me and my clubmates took 3rd place team overall, and I was one of just 11 people out of a total of 200+ (in all divisions) that had zero mikes, a big step up.
Either way that saved much of spirit, and I felt back in the game, and back in my life (or so I think of it).
Went to Finland and tried SRA (a IPSC/3Gun type of match) as the first Swedish competitors ever to be allowed to compete. Went shit (shotgun did not work so I blew all the shotgun stages) but my handgun game was suddenly one of the best overall on those stages. Rifle stages however was dominated by the super talanted Finish competitors. Damn, they are good!.
2017 hopefully will be back to biz. Hopefully also the blog updates.
