I am also very interested in getting into competitive shooting but only have weekends available so it is tough to get everything fit into it.

I don't know how I did over all yet, but it was an interesting day. My average point loss per stage doubled, but I think the stages were more difficult this time. Plus, on one of the stages we had to shoot weak hand and I had not yet practiced weak hand since I switched to .45s. That actually setup the strangest stage for me today. Starting off with the gun in the weak hand low at the ready from behind cover we were supposed to put three shoots each into two BG at about 40 and 20 feet (could have been farther or could have been closer, IDK) before transitioning to the next shooting point in the stage. The first, farthest, target I only got 2/15 points, so 13 down. After the first shot on the second target I had an FTE. I looked down, saw the case, and just pulled it out. I still had two shots to put into this target and pulled trigger ... click. Argh! Rack the slide and put two shots down range and move on. Walking up to score we find the first target still living, but when we get to the second target the three of us just stand there starring at for several seconds. There was one shot COM and two to the head for zero points lost. I think I was the only one to do this on this stage and they asked me why I went for head shots. Here's the funny part ... I told them I wasn't aiming for the head! I was still aiming COM.
