This video provides guidance on scheduling a competition season for competitive shooting, emphasizing intentionality over attending every available match. Instructor Ben Stoeger advises centering the season around a 'goal match,' such as USPSA Nationals, using smaller matches like Area or State championships as warm-ups. He recommends approximately one match per month to allow sufficient time for implementing lessons learned and continuing training, rather than burning out by shooting too frequently. Stoeger also cautions against investing all available funds into ammunition for the first season, suggesting a balanced approach to avoid disappointment and maintain motivation over the long term.

This episode of Practical Shooting After Dark features Ben Stoeger and Matt Hopkins discussing the importance of offseason ammunition preparation. They emphasize proactive reloading, stockpiling components to avoid shortages, and using downtime for gear testing. The discussion highlights how preparing ammunition in advance reduces stress and ensures readiness for training and competition, with Matt Hopkins planning to load 20,000 rounds himself. They also touch on stage planning simplicity and the controversial topic of uncalled disqualifications in competition.
