FlightMedic376 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I have been shooting matches at my local club including a classifier where I was classed C. This was my first full Match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I see a "B" in your near future. Don't think you'll be a "C" too much longer. Nice shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMedic376 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thank you. I have learned a lot since I have started shooting. Need to work on my stage planning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrohuck Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Nice man! From one fellow USPSA newbie to another, looks like you're on a good track IMHO: 1) you could go faster, your hits were looking really good and tight on the close targets, so accuracy is there, now just ramp up your splits, run that trigger! As long as you get the A zone, it doesn't matter if theres one inch separating the bullet holes or ten inches 2) you were caught in a few slide lock reloads at inopportune times... awareness sort of goes out the window once that buzzer sounds (especially for someone who is new), so remembering to reload at specific points is tough, but once you get that down you'll be dropping a lot of time in your runs. I'm still unclassified, so perhaps I'll race ya to B class.... no scratch that, I'll race ya to GM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackJones Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'm digging that dual camera mode. That's the first time I've seen a video posted like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just4FunLP Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 What's your story? What other kind of shooting have you been doing? How have you been training? I've been shooting less than a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMedic376 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 I've grown up around shooting. Military and CQB instructor. Just entered the shooting sports arena. Have only shot a couple matches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreGarciaTAT2 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Off to a great start! Question, what kind of camera are you using on your head? And what editing software to combine the videos?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMedic376 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 I use a replay 1080 xd mini for the head camera. My iPhone for the 3rd person view. I use iMovie for the editing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHAVEGAS Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 My last oopsie was a 180 degree problem doing what you were doing at about 1:25 (right handed shooter moving backwards and to the left during reload, your body is already angled left and the muzzle goes to a more severe angle as you bring the gun in to your body ). I couldn't tell if you got close to the 180 in the vid, so this is just a for what it is worth. Since my recent unfortunate event I tend to look for such things .

FlightMedic376 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah. They told me that I got close. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Yeah. They told me that I got close. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's a nice way to say you totally broke it but they didn't have the heart to DQ you. Pretty sure I got a good look at rifling around 1:25. That aside it looks like you have a great start and can go far. Edited June 12, 2014 by alma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHAVEGAS Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 That's why I need to work on my stage planning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Me too. Have added ghost reloads & etc to my walk throughs, which seems to help and am lucky enough to have access to much better shooters who are happy to help me with the planning stuff, which really really seems to help. The other thing that I learned from my oopsie (actually from talking stuff through with more experienced shooters after the fact) was that things look different to different folks depending upon where they are standing during the event. If your gun is pointing to your left and someone is watching from behind and to your left you may get 180 calls from the cheap seats starting somewhere around 165, the angles can allow a spooky view around then and folks can get excited when it is real time and they don't know where the gun is going to stop. The big kids tell me that what the R.O. says happened is what happened. This isn't a comment on whether or not you broke the 180 (alma may be right, I just don't know), but I though the "listen to the R.O. and ignore the other stuff" advice was good info.

FlightMedic376 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 The RO didn't say I was close. It was my buddy that said I might have gotten close and it was a poor decision to move from right to left for that particular stage. Good learning experience and I will defiantly be looking for those angles next match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glockified Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Looks pretty good to me. 180s are somewhat subjective. Sometimes the stage is not set up exactly square with the shooting bay, which can lead to some difficult calls. Most of the 180 DQs I have seen were obvious to everyone. Sometimes targets are set up close to the 180, so I always ask the RO during the walk-through if I can shoot "this target from this position" without breaking the 180.

apowers1214 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Nice job I see B in your future soon! Stage planning comes with time. One way I got better was I squaded with higher classes shooters. I would them their plan and why. Helps you understand the thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbagger123 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Work on reloads transitions and run not walk to your next position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbyam22 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Nice, I just shot my first couple matches last year. Unclassified. Single stack, it was fun, challenging incorporating all the reloads into stage planning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowers1214 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Work on reloads transitions and run not walk to your next position. one of the biggest things I worked on were reloads between positions and transitions to new positions. This helped me immensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a novice as well, but I found I could avoid slide lock if I plan my stage so that I swap mags with a round or two to spare. Shooting production, L-10, SS, revolver really makes you aware of when you reload. Also, reload on move (safely), don't waste time on "standing reloads".
