Joel Park, a competitive shooter, discusses the common hurdles in USPSA classifications, particularly the progression from B to A and M to GM. He identifies two main camps of shooters stuck in B-class: those who are fast but inaccurate ('loose on points') and those who are slow but accurate ('over aimers'). The key to advancing, he explains, is addressing the specific weakness of each camp. For those stuck in B-class, the advice is to either become more disciplined with sight acquisition and trigger breaks or to simply 'send it' when the sights are sufficiently aligned, even if not perfectly still. Advancing to higher classes (A, M, GM) requires a consistent increase in both speed and accuracy, with M and GM classes demanding on-demand performance and consistency. Park also touches on the influence of classifier stage design and age on hit factors.
