Loose Brass Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Sept USPSA BGSL Wilmore, Ky. 5 stages of pistol along with a shotgun side match. Shot a clean match with no mikes and no penalties. I feel like I have been really putting things together lately. Time to speed things up a little though. I placed 3rd in SS and 14th overall for the match shooting just over 78% of the match leader. Shotgun is always fun. Definetly time to start stepping on the gas there too. 6th place overall. 1 Estill, Corey A57351 M Single Stack Major N N N N 570.4976 100.00% 2 McGowan, Todd A42582 B Open Major N N N N 566.0454 99.22% 3 Bradley, Chuck TY25460 GM Limited Major N N N N 555.4756 97.37% 4 Pignato, Anthony TY55612 A Limited Major N N N N 542.5663 95.10% 5 Hopkins, Shaun A56938 A Production Minor N N N N 542.0936 95.02% 6 Foley, Mike TY47474 A Single Stack Major N N N N 514.1961 90.13% 7 Lyons, Alex A29454 B Open Major N N N N 513.9301 90.08% 8 Bradley, Ryan TY53759 M Open Major N N N N Junior 506.2651 88.74% 9 West, Barry FY37438 M Limited Major N N N N 494.1793 86.62% 10 Cottrell, John L2588 A Limited Major N N N N 490.6357 86.00% 11 Jasper, Harold A27892 B Production Minor N N N N 476.5139 83.53% 12 Brown, Greg TY57893 B Limited Major N N N N 459.9255 80.62% 13 Carroll, Kevin TY33759 M Limited Major N N N N 450.9072 79.04% 14 TRYON, TOM A60566 B Single Stack Major N N N N 446.5179 78.27% 15 Umansky, Steve TY56873 B Limited Major N N N N 428.2711 75.07% and 32 others...

Loose Brass Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Keeping with the spirit of posting the bad with the good here is today's USPSA Match at Silver Ck in Indiana. Today's match was a brilliant display of lack of concentration. What I could do wrong I basically did do wrong. My brain was not engaged today. I've done pretty well the last few matches I have shot but today the wheels just seemed to come off. I guess I should be glad I've got it out of my system though. I've got an IDPA Classifier coming up next weekend and the Tenn. USPSA Sectional the weekend after that. Back to the Lab again yo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Brass Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Shot the TN. Sectional last weekend. Good match as always, they have a great crew! I finished 1st B class Single Stack and 4th overall Single Stack. It was a very tough match especially for us 8+1 guys. The steel plates at distance ate my lunch! I had some good stages and some not so good. I'm keeping the gun up more these days but still not enough. I'm shooting our local USPSA Match this Sunday and I'm planning on working on that specifically. Gun up, gun up, gun up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Brass Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Our local USPSA Match for Oct. Started off well on stage 1. I did alright on stage 2 and was happy I didn't forget any of the targets :-) Stage 3 would have looked good but I misstepped while reaching around the wall and it cost me some time. Stage 4 was our classifier. While it was a decent stage for me it wasn't good eno...ugh to help my average. I couldn't wait to shoot stage 5. Things started out well but I had a bad plan on the second target array and then a malfunction on top of it. Stage 6 I intended on burning down. Again my gun malfunctioned and I lost my shot count and placement. I shot 6 rounds without a required reload and 2 mikes because I didn't have the required number of rounds on a target. Total of penalties and the stage cost me about 100 points. My two big things I took from this match. The usual(keep my gun up!) and maybe I should try cleaning the 1911 once in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Brass Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Shot a 3 inch S&W 629 at our local IDPA Match yesterday. I only break this thing out once or twice a year. It's always a barrel of monkeys when I do. Wasn't so much worried about my score I just enjoyed shooting the stages with it I was using 240 grn LSWC and charged to 44Special. Our club rules won't let us shoot the plates with 44Mag and besides after about 50 rounds of the magnums my hand starts to go numb Thanks to Steel1212 for putting this vid together and adding the Dirty Harry quotes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Brass Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 This is the milkshake run match at MRPC in OH last Sunday. 2 penalties(same stage) on 5 stages for the day. 1st place overall SingleStack Division. Hey look who's learning to keep the gun up. The Peanutbutter milkshake from the UDF was awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Brass Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Shot the BGSL 3 Gun Match last weekend. I'm terrible at this sport but I keep playing. I have to spend more time with my rifle. I also need to get my 2011 up and running. I'm a regular 1911 shooter and the Glock I have been using for this match just isn't doing it for me. All in all I still had a great time. I'm just tired of wasting ammo at this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Brass Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Sunday's USPSA Match. I shot 4 of 5 stages fairly well but the barrel stage with all the low targets ate my lunch :-) I'm bringing the gun down again during reloads. I thought I had finally conquered that after the Miami Match :-( I also failed to seat a mag properly and that cost me some time too. Managed a classifier score that should help my average finally. Walking the plank and shooting on the last stage was a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Brass Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) USPSA at Silver Creek in Indiana this past Sunday. Had a decent match. Haven't seen the scores yet so I'll be curious to see where I finished. Did a little better than last week at keeping the gun up. I'm keeping it up when I'm ejecting the mag but then dropping it as I start the actual reload and then arm extension. My movement felt good today. I had some issue of not using my sights. It was mostly a point and shoot day and although I didn't have any mike's I had way to many charlie's. Had an ok classifier that I think helped my average a bit by taking a lower score off. I think when all my recent classifiers are added I may be in the higher B range instead of the lower. Every little bit helps I'm thinking I may get to A class come Spring or so. Also had some gun issues today. Gun not going into battery. It's been happening about once per match but it happened 3 times during this match. I think after 2 years of just shooting straight lead I believe I have developed a build up issue I need to look into. My hand is all jacked up from tap/racks under Adrenalin during the stage Stages were great and the weather was just about perfect for shooting Got to hang out with some good friends to, it was a good day Edited November 16, 2010 by Loose Brass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Brass Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 USPSA this past Sunday. My first one since November. Took 3rd in SingleStack and finished 6th overall. Managed to stay ahead of all the Limited guys. My shotgun stage was ho hum at best. It was a 24 round field course. I just wasn't prepared for anything over 18 shots. All in all it was a nice way to start out the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Brass Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) USPSA at Silver Ck. in Indiana. Had some issues which kept me off balance a bit. Had a couple of decent stages too. Seems like the more I reload during a stage the more my reload position with the gun starts to sink. I think though I've only got a couple of small things to work out soon and I should have a pretty good season btw Big thanks to Steel1212 for doing the cool looking video edits!

Loose Brass Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Alabama State Match Stage planning was probably more important for me at this match than any I have ever shot. In a way I felt like I should have done better. However I was feeling pretty good just trying to hold it all together. With only two mikes and 1 procedural for a foot fall I thought I did OK. This was my first major match of the year and all in all not a bad start. I'm looking forward to the Battle in the Blue Grass coming up soon and then on to SS Nats. I'm hoping to pick up my game a little bit by then and have some minor things worked out with my gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Brass Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 My video for Battle in the Bluegrass. More my kind of match this time around. Finished 27th of about 120+ shooters. Still not where I want to be but I'm fairly happy with my progression in all. This match had a little bit of everything from some close up hose stuff to you want me to hit that plate and swinger at what distance? We had it all! Draws are looking better all the time however I am still on my never ending quest to keep that gun up. My video guy is backed up with work currently and I've been happy he was able to even get these major match vids up. I may have some of the local stuff I've shot soon. As I said earlier I am fairly happy with my progression as a shooter. I'm really curious as to where this year will lead me. I'm also in the process of getting back into shape and dropping some weight. Wondering how well that will effect me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
