- In this Video, I share a perspective on what New Shooters to IDPA or USPSA should think when they're new to action pistol. I was new to this not too long ago and so i bring in the vantage point of not only being new to competition, but combining with being a newly minted COVID Shooter!

Great tips. I just started 2 weeks ago and dove in hard lol. I’ve shot 6 matches in 2 weeks and the compete with yourself tip is sooo important. I try to learn from better shooters but sometimes I get frustrated when the scores get posted. I have to remind myself that I have a lot to learn and work on.
Well first off… congrats on shooting that many matches in a couple of weeks!
I think you got the right attitude in at least being able to reflect and consider on what you have to do next to get better (whatever that means to you). I’ve jokingly said… “if football is a game of inches… this sport is a game of micrometers!” When I was at this stage… I leaned to adjust to learning and alternating between improving one thing at a time… largely grip at this stage if I recall.
Keep at it man! Part of the process 💪🏻
@@TheGentlemanGunner yeah I definitely need to work on my grip. I’m consistently alpha Charlie on doubles. Always a solid first shot but the follow up is not so good. I’m on the chunky side so speed isn’t going to be my ticket right now, so I really need to stress good hits.
Awesome man. Usually do Sunday matches. Meeting a lot of great people. All walks of life. Mid week I go to my club and practice my weaknesses that I found the week prior. And build. Road to GM!!!!
Thanks for the video! I'm a new shooter. I shot my first USPSA match last week. it was hot and your hydration tip was on point. One of my squad mates pointed out that during my left to right reload I almost broke the 180. My next match is next week and I hope to do better!
That’s freaking awesome my dude! Keep at it and sounds like you nailed two things being safe (although almost a DQ 😅) and having fun!
This is a great video. “Be the best squad mate” love it.
Excellent points! I am also new to competition shooting, #4 & 5 really resonate.
Amazing job!
I just started about two months ago. I put a slide and a Holosun 507 Comp on my G17. I am very accurate to the point of one or two Charlie’s per run in my local matches that are weekly indoor. Nothing outdoors right now here. I am just really slow!! Feels depressing, I hope this is something that comes with repetition. Thanks for all your content. Very helpful!!
Good info.
Great video, to elaborate on one point. I had see the pros shoot at USPSA carry optics Nats. What I saw was when the started to shoot. They took a lower posture/ stance and stayed at the level. Not bobbing up and down. Was more efficient movement.
Good stuff, Paul. I will be sure to share it with others.
We need squad together in the near future 😎
@TheGentlemanGunner My next major is Space City. I am shooting Sat/Sun.
Good stuff! I agree with everything!
Especially hydration. My wife and I spent most of last year developing our hydration/nutrition plan it has paid HUGE dividends, especially at majors. It’s interesting to notice,as the afternoon goes on, others getting a little brain fog while we are as sharp as we were in the AM. It leads to consistency.
Any way, great stuff my man!
It’s such an easily overlooked component but critical 😬
Nice push press reps!
Love it! I simply love it how you breakdown things in to more logical pieces and explain each one of them plus examples. Keep it up!
Anyone ever notice they shoot the brown shaped silhouette but avoid white shaped silhouette, it’s like programming 😅😅
Nice Video, which gun are you using, CZ Shadow2 or Tanfo Stock2?
Shadow 2 in some and the DS9 currently
This all seems sensible, however, it is mute if you don't have the time to practice enough. After a 40, 48, 56 hour work week, greenskeeping/yard work two weekends out of every four, being a community volunteer, house work, laundry, etc., you will not be able to compete, let alone win, ever.
Compete yes, win maybe not
Do it to beat yourself, then you win every time you play
@@defensivepistolscience1344 This started a long time back (1976) for working class folks that had limited time and money for practice, let alone competition. Maybe one month you would win, maybe the next month I would win. As we can see it has become something greatly different. If I'm only competing against myself, then I don't really need to go to a match with 60 other people.
