I spent most of the day yesterday in Louisville, NE at the Eastern Nebraska Practical Shooter's monthly USPSA match. It was a great day for shooting. I didn't do all that well, but still had a good time.
I did play around a little with setting a camera on a tri-pod down range so there is a little extra footage of the stages there.
I had a few hiccups and there are a couple of times that I guess I forgot I was shooting production division and didn't reload when I needed to. Stage 4 was my worst stage. I just couldn't hit the steel.
I finished 10th in Production (2nd C class) and 34th overall.
I had the opportunity to shoot and work the Great Plains Sectional Championship match this past weekend. I shot the match on Saturday and worked as an RO (Range Officer) on Sunday.
The match had 9 stages. As always, the stages were lots of fun and presented different challenges. There were lots of close targets in the match, but there were enough targets at range to keep things interesting.
I could have done better, but feel like I did well. While watching the video of my performance, it is easy to see where I bobbled reloads, reloaded when I didn't need to, etc. Overall, I had 2 mikes and 4 deltas during the entire match. Not too bad for me.
I earned 2nd place C class Production (out of 11), 16th place Production (out of 35), and 61st Overall (out of 129).
I really need to spend time regularly doing dry fire practice, but never seem to make time for it. I am going to work on that and see how much it helps me.
Check out the video and let me know what you think. Any areas you see that I need to improve?
I spent much of the day this past Sunday at the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club in Louisville, NE. The club there hosts a monthly USPSA match that is really quite fun. I have been regularly attending these matches for a bit over 4 years. I just love this stuff.
The match this month was a good one. I got to shoot with some great folks and even did alright in the match. I, of course, have much improvement to make, but it was still a great time.
I had 3 misses during the match. All of which were really unnecessary. I will continue to work on improving my shooting ability. This match was a great warm up for the upcoming Great Plains Sectional Match. Now I just need to get some ammo loaded.
Let me know if you have any questions about USPSA in general. I will do my best to answer or get you in contact with someone that can.
Have you been to any good matches lately? Any that I should try to check out?
