Here is how you can use the Palm scoring software (StageScore) to randomize your shoot order each stage.
After locking the stage you are about to shoot, choose Enter Scores from the main menu. You will see the list of shooters in the squad you are scoring:
Now, Click on the arrow next to the word “Sort” and you will get a menu:
Choose “Random” and it lists the shooters in a random order:
Random is random – the same shooter could shoot first again. If you don’t like the order you get, pull it down, choose “Name”, and then choose Random again. Repeat until you like the order.
This nifty site: http://www.classifiercalc.com/
will tell you where your score on a classifier ranks you.

Brian shooting stage 3 at the AMU Junior Shooter Clinic Match
Nov 2009
Picture by Dan Fitzgerald
The AMU camp ended yesterday. In a word… awesome!. Brian had 2 days of training from world champion action pistol and rifle shooters + a 6 stage match. And Rob Leatham straightened me out in a class for parents on Saturday (-:
Here is a summary, written just after it ended.
I will write up a report on the Rob Leatham class soon. He is fun and a great trainer. He spent all day on the trigger and multiple shots to a single target, with a brief but very useful explanation of how to build a grip. Guess that is important! By the end I was shooting significantly faster, as in a LOT faster. And I could put 19 of 20 into the Alpha at 25 yards. Whether that will hold without his magical presence, I do not know…

Brian and I wrote a guest post for The Firearm Blog about our visit to Atlanta Arms & Ammo.
Brian & Ken see how ammo is made!
As a side note… I used their .40 match ammo in a class with Rob Leatham yesterday and it shot perfectly! It made major but had less kick than traditional factory ammo and was reliable and accurate.
