My sincerest apologies to the dude in this room. A compilation of more footage from this event to drop soon, stand by.

Sometimes, your gun malfunctions and your stage planning goes out the window. I've never had any issues with my G47 until this point. I'm chalking it up to a combo of lack of lubricant in a lot of rain on a gun that may still be in the break-in period - it ran fine after adding more lube.

Cold rain, cold hands, cold start. Still, these are often among my best stages of any given competition. It's a little counterintuitive to the idea of being warmed up, but there's something to having a set of fresh eyes and a fresh mind. Are there patterns you've noticed for when you're locked in?

I love orb weaver season. 🥰

Shooting doubles is the most simple and efficient way to assess your fundamentals, especially sight tracking and recoil control. The idea is to only worry about the time between a first and second follow-up shot and your accuracy. Simply start your shot timer, take your time, and line up on target

The more I shoot, the more I appreciate just how much of this discipline is a mental exercise. Stage planning, reloads, and footwork aside here, one struggle really stood out to me during the whole match - target focus.

I finally did it, I attended a USPSA match, and a classifier at that! This was a great way to start out with some simple stages and to set a baseline to see where I’m at.

Contouring a polymer trigger guard on a handgun will ensure a custom fit for your mitts and is easy to do! For those not carrying on body against bare skin, I also strongly recommend a stipple job to maximize your grip potential. Here's a little video guide, enjoy! 😎
