Here's my view of the PB match on Sunday. Silly, stupid mistakes. My dot was too bright on Stage 4 - Pushy and what I thought was my dot was actually the reflection artifact from having the dot too bright shining on the lens. That's why I missed that headshot from such a close distance.

and my weak hand is.... weak.

Pretty ballsy taking on a plate rack at that distance while moving. No way id have gotten it with my production gear.

I had16 more rounds I could throw at it :) Took it as a challenge to practice move-and-shoot.

Lookin' good, at least it wasnt raining.

I like how you were shooting those steel on the move, through the window, on stage 2. I need to start doing that.

yeah it helps especially at that port where there was a big popper in front of a small one. A lot of shooters in my squad didn't see the small popper behind and either left it standing or had to transition back from the paper to take it.

Try to shoot while coming into and getting out of a position or stay on the move.

I want to work on that, shooting while entering transitions.

I still need some work on basics, grip, reloads.....constantly trying to work on that.

I almost missed that popper too, shifted towards the paper and had to go back. Missed on the first two shots too. The funny thing is I knew it was there, I seen guys before me leave it standing. It was almost a psychological thing clearing the popper nest.


This question is too all:


How often do you dry fire? When you do dryfire do you do exercises like out of the "Dry fire" book or do you set up courses?

Do you set up actual IPSC targets?

Do you use dummy ammo to simulate the weight in the mags?



I noticed on one my last videos I had a misfire, it was very telling on my trigger pull. It looks like my muzzle dips during the trigger squeeze, I wonder if I am anticipating recoil.

I run around my house dryfiring at random objects such as corners of picture frames/tv's/lightswitches. It's important to be honest with yourself when training, its way to easy to tell yourself that you landed 2 perfect hits on a target in .12 seconds when you know damn well you cant do that in live fire.

Make sure you maintain good footwork while coming into and out of each position while training and make sure to waste no time bringing your gun up/finding your sights when coming into position. Don't get there then find them, be ready to shoot as soon as you get there.

Reloads, I don't really do straight reload practice unless I'm training shotgun for 3 gun... I usually try to just make it a goal to land reloads before I get to the next shooting position, preferably within 1-2 steps from leaving the current shooting position. Try to train yourself to drop that mag as soon as you fire the last shot and get your offhand to the next mag asap. You wanna have that fresh mag starting to go in before the spent mag is on the floor.

Very important to not break shots before you see what you need to see (sight picture) don't force speed, the speed comes as your skills increase. 1st shot - perfect sight picture. 2nd shot - acceptable sight picture.

Most people that watch USPSA assume that we only shoot fast and accuracy doesn't matter to us, that is not the case, my personal goal is to shoot 90%+ of the available match points in any given match.


Strong hand only - Weak hand only... practice this, make your weaknesses your strengths when you get to a stage that requires strong or weakhand and everyone on the squad starts panicking, you wanna be the guy that smiles because you have no weak hand.
