steel1212 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Stage break down is pissing me off. I'm getting stuck in a plan and sticking to it instead of looking for something else! Steel is also getting me again....more training is needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 IDPA was my only option for a tune up before IN SS/PRO match. It was just going to be to much in gas by myself down to Owensboro. Shot the match working on accuracy and had decent hits. Some of the targets didn't allow for much of a down zero!! Dropped more points than I would like but it was a decent warm up. Spent another 200 rounds on the plate rack and doing some drills after the match to get a good groove before I left!

steel1212 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Well first the stages at this match where awesome! Plenty of ways to shoot each stage a little differently. I had a ruff start, as you'll see in the video and it cost me in the over all. Being that this is my last major for the year its time to hit the practice hardcore over the winter and come out swinging 2013! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) After watching Alex and Matt's videos from this weekend I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not executing fast enough. I'm sluggish and very deliberate. I'm going to have to push outside my comfort zone if I want to gain the speed in the shooting aspect. I'm also going to have to execute my movements much faster!

steel1212 Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 A little IDPA fun. I need to be more focused when I shoot IDPA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Ah the joys of 3 gun.... Don't know why the first stage was blurry like that anyway the days events! Seems I can shoot a 3 gun match with out something screwing up. First stage of the match something got caught beside the BCG and locked it back tight as a drum. I had to ditch it taking the penalties. On top of that I didn't even know I was suppose to shoot half the steel plates from one box and then move to the other box and shoot the other half just to compound things! After that I got my poop in a group for the most part. 3rd stage in the video I shot 2 pistol targets twice, its why the gun goes dry and that cost me a little time.

steel1212 Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Fun match today. Dropped to many points, actually 1/3 of them on one stage! Also couldn't hit a plate to save my life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 A little IDPA on a dreary rainy day! It was a fun match and I think I only dropped 16 points total. One being a down 5 for a weak hand miss on a head.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel1212 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Gonna take some work getting back into the SS groove. I was slow, sluggish, and unsure! Really gotta hit the dry fire and live fire practice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsa Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 How do you like the Tactical Sport? I have been thinking about getting one. I am relatively new to USPSA, I have been shooting 1 yr this month exclusively in production with a SPO1 Shadow. The TS seems like a little cheaper way to go than a 2011 for limited.

I am relatively new to USPSA, I have been shooting 1 yr this month exclusively in production with a SPO1 Shadow. The TS seems like a little cheaper way to go than a 2011 for limited. I've only shot it the one match and really haven't had much time behind it. It seems like a cheaper way to get into limited for sure. I'm going to stick to SS until SS nationals then, switch to production until production nationals then I'll give limited a run this fall so it might be a bit before I can really answer that question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Fun day at the rock. Stages weren't exactly SS friendly but fun none the less. First stage off the bat I had a reloading issue where some how I stripped the first round out of the mag and as the mag went in the gun it got fed back into the mag backwards! Cost me about 8 seconds on the stage. Good side of the match is I shot about 96% of the available points with only 23 B/Cs and a Delta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel1212 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Cold day, started in the low 20s, so not a lot of people showed up so camera crew was limited to a tripod! It was a nice accuracy based Winter IDPA match. A few to many points down than should have been but its coming around. Didn't really trust my sights all day as you see me take 3 make up shots on the second stage with 3 down zeros in the head. Plus I keep scoring as I'm shooting which is BAD! My Draw in IDPA is still horrible. Its like I'm trying to find the gun. Maybe I should do more dryfire.... Shot my W2R Single stack .40 coated in awesome Cerakote ran slick as a ribbon being fed BBI 180s at Major PF with my Tripp Research System mags 10+1 and still fits the box. Remember its no fun with bad gear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 I don't know if was where the targets where at or how they where spaced or what but it seems to me that I shot this match very slooowly. The first 2 stages we shot didn't get videoed, and one was a 24 round hoser I did in 9 seconds with 2 reloads and 3 charlies but other than that it looks like I'm just....well slow. I shot 96.5% points for the match which I guess is good if I'm going to shoot slow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel1212 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Alabama State USPSA match was just as good as it has been the last 3 years. High round count stages with lots of options! Had a few bobbles here and there but came away with the win. Pretty ticked that I had a 7 round mag on my belt on stage 3. That should NEVER happen! Other than that I had a couple horrible reloads and a late make up shot. Did however shoot about 95.5% points for the match so I'm pretty stoked about that!

steel1212 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Getting the bugs worked out. Got one more figured out today I think! I'm sloppy with my reload on the mags towards the bad and stripping the top round out as I rip them through the front of my 771s! Already on that fix! Other than that the stages where pretty good and challenging! The swingers where some of the fastest I've seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
