Unless it's against stage rules, once you start a reload, you would save a lot of time by just completing it even if you haven't run dry. Look at stage 2 where you pull the gun down and then have to bring it back up and reestablish your sight picture, only to have to reload again after a couple more shots.

Overall good shooting, time and practice will bring improvement, but I could have done without the music.

Looked like a lot of fun. Shooting a Ruger SR9?

My club also had a match yesterday. I don't know the results yet and I, too, am still learning different things about technique and strategy. I think I was doing better than usual up until I parted the "hair" on one of the non-threat targets. I had no procedural errors or anything else other than that one. Oh well. I saw several other taped holes on that one, so I wasn't the only one. Just have to wait for the results to be posted.

I am also guilty of this and someone mentioned it to me yesterday. I'll be working on that.
