Me about The format: “it was corny.” Nils:”What?!?” Me: “Just Kidding😂”

[@jasestrong]

Thank you Nils great to see you shooting IDPA. I shoot SSP also , CZ P10F. I am glad to see you guys did ok in the stage of forced DQ’s too! It is really amazing what you did for Canick

[@NilsJonasson]

There were definitely a couple of tricky stages where you had to be extra careful.

[@BabyGiraffeIDPA]

It was great being on the squad next to you for the whole match. Thank you for the words of encouragement!

[@NilsJonasson]

Always!

Congrats NIls! Thanks for a great video. Hope you're going to make a similar video, a stage analysis, of your 2023 IDPA World Championship.

[@NilsJonasson]

👍

[@gamedaydad8138]

Great video Nils! I would love to see a match breakdown for all your big major matches. Not a lot of people really doing that, just highlights. CO Nats, IDPA and any other big matches.

[@NilsJonasson]

I’ll see if I can put something together when I have time.
Totally agree about highlight reels.

[@mert_oksuz]

you are amazing Alperen!

[@NilsJonasson]

He’s soooo accurate!

[@mert_oksuz]

@@NilsJonasson you are amazing too!!

[@brasskingtv]

Rock on bro and great shooting as always. It's very inspiring watching you bang out! You ALMOST make me want to go back to the vest and irons.

[@NilsJonasson]

When was the last time you played in IDPA?
The rules have gone through several major changes over the years.

[@chrisharris6834]

Nils! It was a pleasure running into you again at the CMP club house.
Congratulations on the win!
The only feedback I’d have for the format is; If you can release it before I shoot… that’d be great!(said like Bill Lumbergh)😂😂😂😂

[@NilsJonasson]

Hahahahaha!!!!

[@theWillBinkley]

Congrats Nils, it was a great match!

Looking forward to the interview with Alperen. He’s definitely quick on his feet and apparently very accurate.

Just need to finish some translation work.

[@rodralig]

Nice run! And congratz Nils...!
That said, is it just me or is IDPA now allowing more creative freedom in stage plans...?

[@NilsJonasson]

Thanks!
It can still be difficult working within the rules.
The fault lines they use for cover calls make it much better than 10+ years ago. Sometimes IDPA updates rules or changes interpretations which can make things difficult. Asking questions is always your friend when walking your stage.

[@NDcompetitiveshooter]

This was a great format. Miss having the scores/ placement mentioned though. Great job to both of you.

[@NilsJonasson]

Thanks.
You mean on the individual stages?

[@NDcompetitiveshooter]

@@NilsJonasson Yes

[@jjones6173]

That style of fishing vest, long and with a huge pocket for tack reloads is of interest to me. Can those be bought in the USA?

[@NilsJonasson]

I believe mine is made by Comp Tac, but I’m pretty sure this model has been discontinued.
Personally, I’m not a fan for using the vest pockets to perform a Tac load.
The reason being consistency and risk. My pants pockets remain very still during movement where the vest pocket flaps around much more.

[@jjones6173]

[@davidpearson8043]

Do you have a video on the mods you’ve done for your competition Rival? That would be great!

[@NilsJonasson]

I don’t think so.
Hardly anything.
Guide rod and three spring is literally the only mods I have on mine.

[@falconp226]

good job guys ,looking good rival s ! are you running stock guide rod and springs ? congratulations on another win

[@NilsJonasson]

I did last year for worlds but for Nationals I changed to the Rune tactical steel guide rod.

[@falconp226]

@@NilsJonasson thank you sir!

[@johntalbot119]

Perfect. Good format. But tell us about guns used please. Love my Caniks.

[@robertrussell3158]

Awesome video

[@NilsJonasson]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sasami_ninja]

Great shooting and editing!
Were you guys using a handheld flashlight with a ring?

[@NilsJonasson]

Thank you!
Just a standard handheld, no ring.
If I do a full match breakdown video, I’ll probably go in depth on how I held it.

[@sasami_ninja]

A full match breakdown video sounds great.
I'd definitely be interested in seeing how you hold it in more detail.

[@darylbarnett8457]

Nils you're the man. When you going to tell us all your secrets?

[@rustyshackleford9604]

Any advice for a newbie?

[@NilsJonasson]

Pick one platform you like and stick with it.
Come out and watch some locals if you haven’t been to a match yet.
PractiScore dot com is a great resource for finding any type of match wherever you’re located.
Ask questions. Most people are happy to show off their equipment and answer newbie questions.
Good luck!
And have fun.

[@Gun_Dork]

Does the dot mounting Turk come with the gun?

[@NilsJonasson]

lol.

[@Porkchopexpress391]

Why does idpa have to wear fly fishing vests ?

[@NilsJonasson]

Because we’re tactical!!
