You did great for your first match! Uspsa is a lot of fun keep at it brother!! Dry fire and practicing live fire in similar situations as uspsa is the key!! Get creative in your Livefire practice!
***** Dude, first match was last Sunday and it was awesome. I'm already itching to shoot my next match next week! It's so different from static shooting. The rush is intense haha. I walked the first 2 stages and after getting comfortable, I was able to pick up the pace. lol and I was shooting production while everyone else in our group were shooting race horses. Although I took it a little slower than the rest, I was able to hit steel with my first shot while the others were missing. All in all, it was an awesome experience that I can't wait to do again! Thanks for the help and encouragement bro, I appreciate it.
Chad, I didn't know you were around my area, I was just looking online and wanted to get into some competition stuff. Ill have to check out the Wasatch Range in fruit heights!
Congrats on your first match!! Safety first, go at a comfortable pace to begin with. Have fun, don’t worry about winning the car. Barrels are hard cover and no penalty if you hit one. A partial strike on hardcover will count for downrange hits. The classifier COF is one of many that are used for determine your classification. You’ll be classified after your first 6 assuming you join USPSA which hopefully you do. Best of luck, hope to see you at nationals.
@@SRR1213 Yeah man I did I’ve been doing three matches a week for the last seven months I’ve gotten to A-class in USPSA already and started reloading my own ammoneedless to say it’s addicting ha ha. All I can say is just go for it man you will not regret it try to find a match where they have beginner class or where are you can request a mentor, or if you have a friend that’s already doing it go with them local matches are obviously better to start on but watch some videos like this the USPSA website has all the rules and commands and go check it out just let people know you’re new and they’ll take care of you
@@rvoykin How do you hold down a job, and in my case be a community volunteer, do your own greenskeeping/yard work, etc. and shoot three matches a week for seven months?
Awesome video! I'm moving back to Layton next year and have been looking into doing competition shooting. I wasn't aware of USPSA and them being hosted at the Wasatch Range. Are you still shooting? I also visited Salvo last time I was on leave, I thought it was a good store. Are you working at the new company that took it over? Thanks for the video
Awesome! Also, how did you grow your shooting skill? Just going to the range with your gun? You seem pretty competent for your first competition... I'm interested in starting to compete but I just got into shooting and I'm still learning how to shoot smaller groups at 5 yards lol
This sounds stupid to suggest but try shooting a double action auto for one of your shoots (trust me it won't matter). Also, since it may be considered a handicap, don't try. I'm serious don't even look like you are trying, but still shoot well. It will make you a better shooter... unless you look like you are trying.
I love how your honest about your experience and with how you did. This gave me the best realistic expectation of a shooting competition.
Excellent! You give me motivation to do my first match. I will do CO and am getting into reloading to feed my future increase in rounds. Thanks.
You're are now my official motivational hero.
Glad I found some of your old videos

You'll be classified on your first four...
Really helpful, thanks
Thinking about doing my first competition this was helpful to see you don’t have to be perfect you can have misses. Looks like a lot of fun
Did you do it? How was it? In the same boat as you were right now.

I saw a Shasta logo on your sweatshirt, are you from NorCal? I live in Redding and am just starting pistol events.
That was intense.i thought you did pretty good.I would of missed a bunch of shot if I would of tried that competition .
Great video! Overall, where did you finish?
Really helpful to hear you narrate along with the video.
And is that a Rice hat?
