Club match today:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=rKLLSTuY654Nicely done! I love pin matches. What caliber and load are you running?

That wasn't me. What I did shoot was a 6" Model 27 and a 3" Model 65 with Geco 158gr LRNs that I bought at Rural King and a 6" Model 17 with Winchester bulk-pack stuff.

2018 WI sectional. My performance was meh and needs improvement but the supah squad was fun and the match was excellent as it is every year.

I was able to have a friend video me at an Introduction to Action Pistol class I took with my son recently.

Not exactly a huge deal but I haven't seen myself shoot since the Cascade Sectional match I attended as a total and complete noob last July.

A lot of progress remains to be made and even though these are simple instructional/demo stages i had a plan in mind.

Continue to really like this Q5. Had the first hiccup of any type with it tonight. Got a click instead of a bang. Since I’ve been shooting the cheapest Russian steel ammo I could find I’m not too worried about it.

Went to a practice night at a local range. Scoring is time plus with IDPA targets but without the silly IDPA ruleset and only half a second per point down. Ran my Beretta 92F from my production belt and damn it's been a while since I've practiced stuffing the mag in the gun in a hurry. My hits weren't terrific, but I felt like my overall shooting cadence was decent. Didn't whip up on the M or GM class dudes, but held my own pretty well against the carry optics guys even with downloaded mags.

Got 4th in CO at Area 4. It's better than 16th place I got last year, so I guess I can't complain. No major mistakes, just a lot of small ones. The main thing was that the heat (~105-107 heat index) made me feel like I was moving in molasses the whole time

Wow, that is some scary stuff right there. I’m glad the shooter and everyone behind him are ok.

I was at that match. Of course, hindsight is 20:20... but there was an option to go around the Cooper tunnel.

I got the sense that he was annoyed that the Cooper tunnel existed, since for whatever reason he didn't appear to be capable of bending over very much. Going around and not taking all those penalties wouldn't have given him the opportunity to express his displeasure by knocking off all the slats.

Sigh. I got that impression as well when I spoke with him and his wife after the match and inquired about the crutches and the yuge bandage on his knee. They seem like nice folks, but I hope he was able to apologize profusely to all the people he swept with his loaded, cocked gun with safety off. That is one of the most dangerous things I've seen at any match.

I am an enormous Cooper fan, and Cooper tunnels were dumb when Cooper popularized them. Not that the dude isn’t completely at fault, and apparently a man child.

Having competitors go to the ground is hardly ever worth it. I put a low port on a stage and had a young lady roll on her back in reaction to kneeling on brass and put a round past my ear.

Clusterfrack
08-13-2019, 10:16 PM
Yikes. That is terrible. I hope she attended serious re-training or never touched a gun again.

I try to be close enough to young shooters that I can grab an arm or gun, but that’s not always possible.

Medusa

Yeah that’s scary. I was there too. I went around the Cooper tunnel.

The Cooper tunnel reminds me of certain gimmicky course elements in Autocross, but, one runs the course she’s given.

Young lady in question was probably in her forties. She was only young from my current perspective. Which is kind of trippy.

I think she kept shooting for a number of years. I stopped shooting club matches... at that particular moment. Haven’t been back in 17 years.

Finished 2nd place production. There's not much I could do to change that at my current level of skill. Just need to improve across the board; mostly bleeding time in movement and not shooting while moving as much and as confidently as the winner. Also dropped more charlies at midrange and long distances than I should have. Doubles drill and practical accuracy at 20 and 25 yards are the answer. Also more movement training in dry-fire.

Here's a stage from my 4th USPSA match. This one went OK, didn't have any major mental mistakes apart from missing my spot on the second position and having to fish around to find targets through a port. Areas needing improvement I see on this stage:

positioning not quite up to par, cost me time shooting the leftmost target with my hands inside the port, and then having to lean to find targets after the wide transition in my 2nd position.
could have been more aggressive in shooting the first target inside the door, probably didn't need to plant myself to shoot a close target that wasn't too badly partialed.
felt very slow getting off the starting point towards the port or leaving any position
mediocre wrist tension, you can see the gun oscillating a lot in recoil


I won two stages (in production, not overall), I suspect primarily due to them having some longer steel (2 arrays of 8 small poppers at 15 yards on one, a few small poppers at 25 with hardcover poppers in the way on the other) which I saw a lot of people struggle with, even with nice open guns. I ended up placing 4th out of 12 production shooters alongside the B class shooters, but since this was just a fun match I think some of them were shooting production guns they haven't touched in a while. Really screwed myself by not counting the targets on the first stage of the day and making a plan that completely missed one target, and then on the last stage not programming in a position properly so I missed my spot, passed it, and had to go back for a target.

So, it that a thing at actual sanctioned matches? Leaving a pile of 1x2's after you clear them? I'm not sure I'd think that was a good idea.

One is supposed to duck and go through the tunnel, of which the boards form the ceiling. Knocking off the slats incur procedural penalties which detract from your points earned in the stage.

Big dude obviously has some physical infirmities (his gait is all wonky and odd) and clearly decided he'd just take the penalties rather than try to do something he seems physically unable to do.

His ONLY mistake was not controlling the muzzle as he fell. Practical pistol shooting demands a certain level of physical fitness and ability, and if one can't muster that, perhaps it's time to find another sport.

Falling is uncommon, but not unheard of even for those physically fit. Just gotta keep your wits about you and control your pistol as you go down or you go to lunch at Dairy Queen.

Dairy Queen = DQ = disqualification = your shooting is over for the day. Letting the muzzle point uprange of a imaginary line parallel to the berm is a common way to go to DQ.

Oh, I fully understand the DQ side of things and wasn't making a comment on that. It was the course design I was curious about. One of my buddies visiting tonight reminded me we used to set up something similar when we started shooting IPSC 30 years ago. I just hadn't seen anything like it in a while.

I know all about DQ's.. Around 1990 I flew all the way from Alaska to Arizona to shoot an IPSC match. I left a box to move before getting my finger out of the trigger guard on the first stage after firing a whopping 4 rounds. I got a really good seat to watch the rest of the match with some real legends shooting it.

The videos below were from my match at HSC in Brooksville FL. Appreciate any tips if anyone wants to watch this train wreck. I’m extremely grateful to member Cory for taking his valuable time to grab these as well as post them for view. He is a class act.

My self evaluation includes: spend less time setting up a sight picture on short range in transition targets. Slow down and press good hits on 7-10 yard targets. Make sure I know where fault lines are on a stage.

This was my 12th USPSA Match. I’m currently a D (36%) in Production with a G19.

The biggest thing I noticed with your shooting that I think could be holding you back is your hard front site focus and the time it takes to see your target, then see your site, then align it, then press the trigger.

I say could because some are very fast at this process. I am not, and use a target focused approach where I am aware of my sights but am not normally pointing my eyes at them. The process going quick is also not always the same as the process going slower. But, I'm not a good enough shooter to properly articulate how to get where we all want to be from where we are.

This is for one of the bigger stages from this past weekend.
I was hoping to get a better look at what my support hand is doing or not doing.
I'll be more specific when I ask someone next time.

Speaking as another person who has a LONG way to go to be anywhere near "good" (high end of C class in Production), the biggest single piece of low hanging fruit I can see in those videos of RJ shooting is movement and efficiency. I know he's not 20 years old (heck, neither am I), but I'm pretty sure he could move faster between positions, and in one of those videos, I noticed a shoot-->move/reload transition where he stopped shooting, seemed to pause briefly, then his support hand went for a mag and had the mag halfway up to the gun before he started moving toward the next position. There's significant time to be saved by getting your feet moving as soon as you've pressed the trigger for the last time at the position you're leaving.

One thing I noticed that RJ does better than me is transitioning smoothly from moving to shooting. I don't do a very good job of decelerating smoothly, and I know I cost myself time steadying my aim at the end of high-speed movement as a result. Somewhere in between the two of us is probably what's "right."

Resumed USPSA with match #15 today, my first since Oct 2020. Also first match in CO, and first with the G34. It was hot (92° F) but I had installed some Talon granulate grips, which worked well against the sweat.

I feel kinda slow, and had too many Mikes and NS’s, for sure.

Someone did grab a video of me on Stage 2. I’d just fallen hard in the mud on Stage 1, so I was trying to take it easy. Having four poppers out at 20 yd partially hidden wasn’t fun, and there was a 180 trap with hardcover that was difficult.

Need to keep shooting matches. Oh and some grippier shoes, these boots didn’t work well.

Shot my first USPSA match this past Saturday.

Not that I'm a great shooter but it was a very humbling experience to see some of the experienced guys play this game. I was amazed at how much planning and calculation those guys do prior to the timer going off. It's been a while since I've shot a match at all but very different than IDPA in all the walkthroughs/rehearsing that shooters did, individual planning vs. prescribed course of fire in IDPA, etc.

I put myself in a squad with the only Master and 3 out of 4 A-Class shooters there knowing that I would get absolutely smoked but the primary goal for the day was to learn as much as I possibly could. Check and Check. Finished 17 out of 26 per Practiscore at 50% of the winner's score, another 6 shooters didn't have data there so no idea on real overall. Placed between 12 and 14 on 4 of 6 stages but really lost the mental game on the other 2 by making 2 Procedurals (forgot about targets after walk through and didn't engage them after not seeing from the positions they should have been shot from), a hit on a no shoot, and some misses.

Last stage of the day and the only stage I was able to get a video of for later analysis. Shot 63.71% with 25A 5C; happy with the hits but found lots of things to work on even here.

Takeaways from the day: 1) Stage planning (planning the work and then working the plan) needs lots of work. Not sure how guys remember all of the targets just yet given the multiple positions and how much movement within a single position can be needed to actually see/engage them all. 2) Need to incorporate more footwork and movement into my shooting/training. Was wild to watch the Master-class shooter explode out of a position and haul ass to the next. I need to do a better job of getting low to stay mobile, taking shots that I can make on the move, and sprinting where possible/needed. 3) Transitions - I can use some work visually in transitioning between targets, especially those beyond 10 or so yards. Tight shots were a problem in transitions and beyond the visual processes I noticed in the video that I was too quick to dismount the gun while looking for the next array. Has to be costing me time and likely accuracy as well - probably applies more back on #2 and movement with the gun than the visual process. 4) ETA - Up1911Fan wagered in the SCD thread that likely less than 1% of Glock owners know about the gadget and I wouldn't bet against that. Got stopped in the middle of a standards-type stage with multiple strings of fire by the RO/RSO to tell me that my gun was broken/unsafe. I was shooting 1 of 2 Glocks that I saw that day (tons of CZs there) but 2 Glock armorers and everyone there had shot or owned Glocks at one point and all were confused by why my backplate was trying to fly off.

Be brutal and tell me where else I'm screwing up as I'm certain I don't have the eye and experience to catch everything wrong here. I really appreciate the feedback you gents can afford, we have a hell of a group of good shooters and overall stand up dudes here. I'm happy to learn all I can from you.

Props to you for getting out there and shooting a match and then posting the video.

First several matches are gonna be overwhelming so don't get caught up in placement. Comparing scores to other people to gauge your success will not help your mental game because it's something out of your control. You can't control who shows up to a match. Some regions are very strong with multiple GMs and Ms that show up to locals. Some areas are weak with an occasional M that shows up. So don't worry about where you place overall.

The top shooter was 50 seconds faster than you over a 6 stage match. So there's your lowest hanging fruit. But remember it's a journey so just start improving a little each day and soon you'll start seeing big improvements.

Make it a goal to shoot a match with no mikes and penalties and see where that puts you.

Lastly, focus on what you do well and improve upon it! Don't just beat yourself up. Based off that video I would guess you have the mechanics to make any shot necessary in USPSA. That's a huge asset!

I thought you did well! It’s clear you know how to shoot.

There’s a lot of sport specific time reduction that doesn’t have much to do with shooting (or self defense). Like picking entry positions that allow you to see more targets instead of taking individual steps for each target. You’ll get used to it as you do more. Keep squadding with the guys you did and be super helpful and work hard pasting and scoring and they’ll be happy to help you with walk throughs. Them helping you real time will be important to cutting time off the learning curve.

Since you’re a decent shooter, your match percent will increase rapidly as you learn the gaming part.

Video their runs as well as yours so you can review later.

Videos from yesterday's match. Placed 22 overall out of 70 shooters. Plugged a few no-shoots which ended up hurting me and some stage plans I didn't execute as well as I'd like. Starting to figure out how to more optimally utilize positioning though so it's coming along. I feel like I did well overall but the next run I'm going to chase speed a tad more as I noticed some of the higher ranked shooters from the match had worse hits than me but their times balanced that out for them.

I had planned to shoot the whole day from concealment but after the first stage of doing that with the cold affecting my fingers some I copped out and just ran open appendix.

I completely forgot that I got video from this match until playing with my Gopro yesterday. It was my first match back after about a year and a half off from USPSA. I did alright, but definitely some rust (especially reloads and stage planning). Also, you can apparently shoot a 100 on Hoser Heaven in CO with a NPM :cool:.

Picked up an inexpensive action camera a few months ago and finally got around to playing with it. I have to try and figure out how I can shim my mount up a few degrees and hide the noodle arms:o, but overall I am pretty happy with it so far.

First time back in Production since last year, been playing gun of the week for most of the off season, but a late acceptance into a major match at the end of the month has me scrambling to get ready. My transitions were more sluggish for the first half of the match (started on stage 3) and a few make ups on steel, but I got warmed up enough to generate some good reactions from the squad when we got back to stage 1. This was also the first time dealing with activated targets in a while and there is some work to do there as well.
Overall though I am pretty happy with it finished 1st in production and around 87% of a near GM CO shooter and a bunch of other high cap masters.

I forgot to record stage 2 which of course was them most interesting stage of the match:(

I am always glad when this thread gets topped.

Sunday morning "Stage" at my Tim Herron class in February at Homestead in Miami FL. I had tried to put into practice everything from the previous day. I don't recall exact details on HF other than it went from somewhere like 2.0 on Saturday morning's initial evaluation run to like 4.0 by Sunday morning. Awkwardly, I had accidentally forgot to pack my G34 game gun for the trip, which I only discovered at the hotel when I got there. So, I shot the entire class with my carry gun, a box-stock Glock 19 MOS.

Background: Tim sets up this stage first and they you run it three times. Day 1 is for evaluation, then you run it twice on Day 2. This is run 2 of three. I'm still slow as molasses but you can see a remarkable improvement (or at least I think it's remarkable) from my previous match at Ruskin FL last fall (especially shooting while moving, which you can kinda sorta see at the end.)

I got a lot out of this class.

The unseasonably "warm" weather has encouraged more local clubs to start their season early. Even a local CO GM came out of hibernation!
I had a rough start in the morning with a pile of bad shots on the first two stages.
I actually had one of my better steel target days including what should have been a HOA on the last stage with 2 Texas stars if it wasn't for just kissing the perf on a no shoot.:(

I shot the USPSA Mid Atlantic section match last weekend and then the much smaller(but more fun) Eastern Lakes Section Match yesterday.

I left the MAS a little heart broken, having lost the production win due to a gun malfunction and a rough first stage, but in all fairness the guy who won totally deserved it so I can't be mad about that:cool:
I took a clean 100% Production win (not exactly the most competitive showing) and 12th overall at Eastern Lakes Section match(capacity neutral match location).

Both matches were a lot of fun, I learned a ton of stuff to work on, and I was on a great squad for both!

2 medium courses from a recent match:

This one was 3-per, and a double swinger that gave people a lot of grief. After seeing some good shooters lose a bunch of points on it, I decided to try for all Alphas. And a "Fuck You In Particular" attitude for the swinger. 15A2C 8.72s HF9.3 stage win.

https://youtu.be/MzNh8cDigRs

There were a number of good stage plans for this one (great little stage). Mine rounded off the corners where I could. Looking at the video, I could have shaved a little time at the last position by breaking the first shot earlier. 17A 1C 11.17s HF7.9

This was my first stage on a Sunday match after an abysmal performance at a match the day prior. Unless I’m competing with my EDC I am shooting an Alchemy Custom Weaponry Quantico HiCap w/X300 and an SRO. I like shooting from a modified Safariland ALS holster.


https://youtube.com/shorts/IZLdm2WRF3I?si=4tvKjlzV7aZDnlcJ

Some more vids from the last time I competed with my EDC. ZEV OZ9c Duty with 508T and TLR-7A in an ANR Design “appendix lightbearing with claw.” I actually do carry a spare magazine day-to-da, and that rides in an LAS Concealment Ensō. I don’t run the gun in a match any differently than I carry, so it’s a 15rd mag in the gun and a 17rd reload. I may try carrying a 24rd or even just a 17rd with +2 extension.

Lol, I think it might be the angle of the video. I was right behind him and I don't think he flagged his hand. It's still a work in progress.

We've been handling real guns and dryfireing them together for over 3 years now. I'm always hands on him or hands ready to grab him with real guns.

With the airsoft I'm much more lax. If he flags me it's a gentle reminder, "hey bud. You just aimed the gun at me" his look is pretty serious and he knows he messed up.

03RN he got caught in his holster and the muzzle dipped towards his outstretched hand. The root cause is that he’s going out to in with his weak hand. If he keeps his weak hand brushing against his body instead of trying to catch the gun on the way out it’ll be safer.

Different strokes for different folks, but that makes me uncomfortable.

One of the stages from this morning’s outlaw steel match. No movement on this one but multiple targets with transitions galore. 20rd stage, I had no make-up shots, and I shot to slide lock. I took the gamble and it worked out this time.

Pistol is an Alchemy Custom Weaponry Quantico HiCap

Multigun match this evening. First vid was the first stage for the night. I’ve been running an IWI Zion-15 12.5” recently with some upgrades and setup as a night gun. Pistol in the vid is a Springfield/Vickers Tactical Master Class 1911 in .45 ACP. Plain Jane Government 1911, that I only get to shoot at a normal range, so I wanted to give it the opportunity to be run in at least one stage of a match. While it’s the least expensive 1911/2011 I own, it’s a great shooter. I think it made me look good in this stage.

https://youtube.com/shorts/2QwG8zU9QTY?si=PiGHZnrJdBUAGAc5

Second vid features the same rifle, but I switched to my Alchemy Custom Weaponry Quantico HiCap for my pistol. Steel was engaged between two close set barrels and I was in a full ass-to-grass squat. I needed two make-ups on the steel. All As on paper with the Quantico HiCap.

Here are some vids from a recent IDPA match. I shot CO and ESP with identical ProGrade CZ P-07s from AIWB. It was interesting to switch back and forth from CO to irons. Most of the other shooters were using full size gamer guns from OWB, so it was a good challenge to see how my carry gear measures up.

Very similar times on this stage:
ESP

CO: last stage of the match, and I decided to shoot it like a USPSA stage, and had by far the fastest raw time, but couldn't make up for Down 9. You'll hear me say "fuck" when I called a close one on the non-threat in front of the 2nd target. Fortunately, it didn't break the perf.

Here

I’ve been competing from concealment for the past few months now. My setup is pretty much how I carry every day: Alchemy Custom Weaponry Quantico HiCap with SRO and X300U-B in a Tenicor Malus Sol loaded with a 17rd mag (actual carry is a Staccato P with DPP and TLR-1 HL in a Floodlight2 AIWB), LAS Ensō with 20rd reload, and an additional 17rd reload via NeoMag in my left pocket (second reload is strictly for matches, as I don’t carry it day-to-day). I’m not a large individual, but a full size 2011 with a 20rd reload works for me.

I’m purposely hamstrung with 17/18rds to start, but that’s how I carry because an extended 20rd loaded to start in the gun doesn’t work for me for normal carry. It definitely makes for interesting stage planning.

I should have attacked this stage differently. The activator plate was slower and than I realized (we even watched it during out walkthrough), so I should have engaged it first, followed by the second plate, then the disappearing target, then swinger, then the other 2 targets off camera. No issues engaging the targets, it just slowed me down. Also, only 1 round required on the targets for this stage.

https://youtube.com/shorts/58yq03gQP0Y?si=yT7J1trExTwEQua7

Barrel start, which is a missed opportunity to shoot from concealment. The only thing dumber than barrel starts are unloaded starts. I didn’t follow my plan engaging the second to last array of targets, so you can see me stutter transition from one target to move closer to a non-visible target to engage first. Finally, I lost my dot on the first target of the last array in the shooting port, so I was slow to engage.

https://youtube.com/shorts/82Fr7-6P6zU?si=81uC1e65EjfNHS23

This was my worst stage of the day. I had 2 make-up shots on steel which forced me to reload in the middle of engaging a target through the forward port. The plan was to reload on my retreat to the far right array of targets. I hit the no shoot on that far right array and needed to re-engage that one target. I also had a weird stutter transition shooting my way into the last 2 targets through the far left shooting port (my splits were also slow on those 2 despite them being relatively close).

https://youtube.com/shorts/FcePE_jN5BU?si=4m5xxR7SFHZ0YTYv

I could have engaged that last array of 4 paper and 1 steel popper a little faster, but his was an overall good stage for me.

https://youtube.com/shorts/1MJ7xvxjv6k?si=iL2LfghKa-HNK2uK[/url]

Another overall good stage. RO was too close to me at the end and we collided as I stepped back to engage the last 2 targets of the stage. He apologized and I was fine with it anyway.

Today was my last match of 2023. One of the places I compete at has a "Run What You Brung" match any time there is a 5th Sunday of the month. Since centerfire rifles are allowed at this match, and everything is relatively close, only paper targets are used. Most folks will run a gun that they don't typically shoot. Some have interesting things that make for good conversation. One of the gentlemen I normally squad with at this location had a transferrable M16A1 and an M4A1 that he ran today. The stages are typically short, burner types but they're fun overall.

During Black Friday of 2022 I purchased a Beretta 92X Performance from LTT with their trigger job. The double action is smooth with no stacking and very light for what it is. The single action consistently pulls just under 2lbs. This was an irons only gun when I purchased it. I've run it a few times at various USPSA and MGM matches throughout 2023 irons only. Since LTT started offering RDO cuts for all manner of Beretta 92s I toyed with sending the slide back their way for a cut. I finally took the plunge in late October and received the slide back earlier this week. It's now topped with a 507 Comp-GR, which I promptly zeroed a few days ago as I anxiously waited to run this gun at this match. Those of you that have watched my previous videos know that I typically run an Alchemy Custom Weaponry Quantico HiCap from concealment at USPSA matches and from a Safariland RDSO at multi-gun matches while I LARP in my kit. Unloaded with empty 20rd mag, the 507 Comp, and a Surefire X300V it weighs in at 54.6oz. My Quantico HiCap similarly configured is 44oz. Today was a nice change of pace. This gun is so fun to shoot and it's extremely flat. It's likely going to see more trigger time. Apologies for the rambling. Here's the combined vid.

Been lazy posting some of my matches. I’ll post some of the multi-gun LARP in a day or two. In the meantime, here’s a few stages from a match I had today. From concealment as usual with my Alchemy Custom Weaponry Quantico HiCap. The matches at this location are typically very simple and it’s usually because there are only a handful of folks available to setup. Overall, I performed very well today.

Stuffed myself in the shooting port a little too much on this one.

Runway style stages like this one are my favorite.

Did you get called on the foot fault?

No, they didn't see it. But I somehow ended up with a NS after reviewing the scores on Practiscore, even though I didn't have a NS during the match, so it balances out against me anyway.

Beautiful Feb weather for a match. I can't help feeling like we deserve it, after the icepocalypse and biblical rainstorms that followed...

The left lean on the popper array was harder than it looked in the walkthrough.

Shot this one clean. 26A. Pretty happy with this one.

I cut corners on my match ammo QC and a low charge on the first round in a 23+1 magazine caused a FTF/doublefeed and added 10s to this big stage. It cost me a match win. A Lesson learned. Oh, and in case you didn't already know: never try to "catch up" after a malfunction. Don't laugh... (actually, go ahead).

Good match, and amusing to still finish ahead of all the LO shooters with their $5000 John Wick guns.

A few stage videos from a match this past Sunday. I have a love/hate relationship with this location. I started competing almost 2 years ago and had my first match here. The stages are, however, really low effort. That said, they're still fun to shoot and I get to spend some time with some good people.


I had an edge hit on the first popper of this stage. I initially though it was going to fall after hearing the ping, but I had to re-engage after shooting some paper. My plan was to reload as I moved into position on the mini-runway, but I forgot and started engaging the far right array. I remembered to reload after I took care of those targets before engaging the rest of the paper and steel.

21A 1C 1D, HF: 6.47

I also had an edge hit on the first popper I engaged on this stage. Cleaned it up before starting my retreat but required an additional make-up shot because I'm "mid." One-handed the one paper target on the retreat for no other reason than to just be goofy.

16A 1C 1D, HF: 5.85

Last stage I'll share since the others were extremely short and boring. Make-up shots on that first steel are inexcusable. I should be better than that. I've been working on shooting while falling out of position. It's been working out so far. I should have engaged the obscured stacked target while stationary and fell out on the open target, but the hits were still good.

20A 2C, HF: 6.44

Shot Open Minor with a G45 from concealment (17 in the gun, 24 on appendix reload): Radian Ramjet/Afterburner, Glock Performance Trigger w/Johnny Glocks Vex trigger shoe, SLR Rifleworks magwell, Holosun 509T on an aftermarket plate lower cowitnessed with 10-8 Performance irons.

Not dead yet! I don't see production ever being "saved" at this point, but a few extra rounds at least lets it almost be competitive in the overall results.
I did not have any particularly good stages and I had more than a few issues with steel, but it all came together with 89% against a CO GM and a top 5 finish

Had a pretty solid day all around with the exception of not giving the proper respect to an activator on stage 1. A lot of close fast stages with some planning options. Overall it was a fun day.

Cold rainy IDPA match. I shot Shadow2s in CO and ESP. Interesting to compare the times and scores. My total score in CO was 4% faster than ESP, and down 9 vs down 11.
