KSTG 29MAY. the names of the stages are my own.




really not that bad for literally not shooting a single round for 3 months.

the dumbest thing I did was of course the epic forgetting about KSTG cover rules on stage 5 (which bumped me from 3rd to 16th in one fell swoop) but the second dumbest and the one I have been thinking most about happened on stage 2. took two well placed shots at the headbox for T1, then proceeded to aim at the headbox of T2 forgetting that I had the whole target to work with. I then readjusted POA to the body, but that little bobble screwed up my rhythm for the rest of the stage. and then I forgot how to shoot an index card on the last target. Possibly because of my deep and enduring love for Tyrion Lannister. best character ever.

I'll upload Vinh's match soon, if he wants me to, that is.

I look like such an idiot in the first stage. LOL.

Glad that is over!

Was a tough match where most of the targets were tight shots: Partials, covered by no-shoots, far away (25-30 yard steel). The weather, here in Northern Illinois, was typical hot-humid summer. (Why anyone suffers through a long, cold, grey winter, then a hot-ass summer is beyond me... I gotta move soon...)

The match was grueling due to the weather and the length: 13 stages.

My buddies and I shot the match in a 2-day format, 1/2 on Saturday, then 1/2 on Sunday. I chumped it up some, but shot straight and managed to squeak in at 8th place. Ben Stoeger took first. Matt Mink (from CZ), took 2nd.

Shot this match on Sunday in the "searing" heat. We were practically melting. I know you guys in the south / central regions will be saying "bah! 80s is not hot" but standing out in the direct sunlight takes a toll.

2012 IDPA East Coast Championship @ Caswell Ranch. I was shooting CDP/SS...I won 2nd place and frankly I gave 1st place away. Two HNT's didnt help and I was s-l-o-w. Missed 1st place by 17.12...There were only 8 people in our class so I was never in jeopardy of getting a match bump .

With IDPA Nationals right around the corner this was a good workout for me. With over 20 folks in CDP/SS @ Nationals I decided to shoot it with the ALS holster, which is what I have been using all year. You can see it during this video. Dry fire drills & some foot work are in order.

This was a good match for me. After being bumped up to Expert early this year I did not feel competitive until now. I placed 4th out of 9 in SSP Expert. The best part is I shot a clean match. No penalties and only a handful of points down.

Great video, Jay! Congrats on kicking ass.
