What are the top shooters using at the 2021 PCC Nationals?

[WxGuy]

I'm curious.  Is Max using his outstanding Franken-build or a JP-5?  Anyone there that can report? 

[Bdh821]

First place, Max used a JP5

2nd place, Scott used a Limcat

3rd place, Zack I'm not sure

4th place, I used my MPX

5th place, John used some JP GMR15 I believe

Congrats, and modest too!  Just kidding!  Nice finish against awesome competition.

Nah. Scott shoots that Limcat gun.

Well we know what Froelich shot, now I wanna know what he did to get DQ'd?

Oh yeah, you’re right. It has some fancy paint job too!

Stage 16, weak hand sting reload. It was very unfortunate and sad to see. He was crushing the match. My guess is he would have won.

Weak hand sting reload per COF?

Sent one over the berm on a reload from what I understand.

Weak hand reload was not required per the written stage brief but for a competitive time you should have had a method to where you didn’t have to switch hands to reload and switch hands again to complete the last 6 shots. 

 

The best method we observed PCC wise was maintain your strong hand on the rail and remove your weak hand from the grip and reload the PCC using your normal hand to do so.  Not conventional but it seemed the safest way. Not sure which method Froelich tried to complete the reload weak hand.

Thanks for the update on gun usage and what happened to Josh.  That kind of reload needs pursuing this weekend.

I watched him shoot as I was on that squad and I cant recall exactly how he did it. I pressed mag release with weak hand and strong hand reloaded. I’d say most did that on the super squad. I will agree with your method tho.

How did you do this? Reach over, around , under, ambi... ?

 

TIA,

Chuck

 

PS: When a friend showed me the COF, I figured I would reload with my "normal" hand (the one that knows how to reload  ) but manipulating the mag release was not obvious.

[Dirty_J]

I gripped the front of the receiver, instead of the handguard.
 

Raked my thumb across the mag button as a fired the last shot from box 1.

Nice. Did you set up a pouch for this stage?

Yes. I’m running DAA XiP’s, so I had one configured to point towards my weak side. 

[Darqusoull13]

Add JP-5 to 17th. 

As for the dumb weak hand stage, I just set up a Safariland RH pouch to angle the opposite way. I used my right hand to grab the mag and shove it in while the left hand stayed on the grip. It felt silly prentending to be wrong handed but at least the ambi controls work well.

Bummer. No one is immune from mistakes though.

Something I am going to play around with for certain.  I shot carry optics so I thought it was easier than what PCCs had to do.  I didn't even have to use a special mag pouch in that I just set the mag in the correct orientation on a magnet.  Not going to spend a lot of time on this, but at least have an idea in place I am comfortable with that I can then practice if this sort of stage comes up again.

Luc Cao DQ'd with an AD as well.  Not sure what stage.  It can happen to everyone.

That was kind of my mindset as well. 
 

Not going to win the match from a stage like this… but you can sure as **** lose it… as Froelich found out.

I was curious how many dqed on this stage. It  seems like it would have been a magnet
