Thank you for the great videos. I just started USPSA in August. I love it and appreciate the practical training it offers to say nothing of how much fun it is. I'm older and not as fast as I used to be in most things. The last couple of matches I was in I focused more on accuracy. I still finished towards the bottom of my squad but did get more A hits than anyone. That rejuvenated my perspective and I feel that focusing on that will eventually lead to faster runs. Your advice is spot on and I look forward to seeing this series every Sunday. Thanks again.
Good tips! I just got into competition shooting in the past year myself. Only did 3 events but I can’t wait for more! Had a friend get dq’d on his first stage 😢 it’s so easy to lose track of your muzzle with the 180 rule. Slow and deliberate before you can go fast. I’m still working on the fundamentals myself. Gotta start somewhere, lots of dry fire!
Im new to competition shooting and this video is spot on including the gear part. 1st part is about safety. Tell your squad if its your first time and that you would like to go last. This way you get a chance to see how everybody runs. Lots of folks shoot with Glocks/Sigs and some also use race guns. Does not matter. Just go with what you have. Hydrate and ask questions.
I’d love to try a pistol competition at some point! I recently bought a Canik Mete SFX and I really enjoy shooting it. I also recently found out that one of my coworker’s husband does some competition shooting with some friends, might have to get in touch with them and team up. Great advice, much love from Texas!
Where you at in Texas? I'm in southwest Oklahoma. Outside of Wichita Falls there is the Double Tap Ranch range. they have matches the 2nd and 4th Saturdays. I'm planning to make a few more this year now that I've got some good help at work and can take some days off. Planning for the upcoming 4th Saturday the 26th, weather permitting (I don't enjoy frozen hands lol). But I did my first one in October and they were super cool. I'd say if you are in the area, check it out and maybe I'll see ya there!
Something i learned after doing my first 3 competitions is to bring nutrition and hydration. I was surprised how hungry I was after 1 or 2 stages. Its all a learning process I guess.
This has been a great video for me. I live in the Midwest and it is all indoor right now. I have been accurate but am slow but safe. I try to speed up each run because it’s always the same course. Really enjoy this stuff!!!
May be a topic for the next video could be, what skills should you have down or practice first before you start moving and shooting. Thanks and keep it up!
This is a genuine and encouraging synopsis of entry level sport shooting. Looking forward to joining the sport! Thanks Myles always a great and informative email presentation.
My only regret is not getting into it sooner. Love it, love the people at these matches, love the American spirit. Getting friends into it has been awesome and hopefully soon wifey will join in the fun. She says she’s done sitting on the sidelines lol
Great content... I enjoy how you teach and your methodology. I anxiously await future videos on competition shooting. My focus now is extreme distance shooting with 22 cal. rifle and pistol.
You are the only other person I have seen that run your mags the same as I do, how many times have you been told your doing it backwards?? lol Ive lost count!
I liked, subscribed and hit the bell. I have 100 questions. We can start with 1 Let's pretend I know how to shoot but I don't have any gear pistol, holster, mag pouch. My question is what's the most affordable setup? I know people hate the word cheap. What's the cheapest setup to get into the sport.
Target engagement, provided the order isn't mandated by the stage such as in the case of a classifier, will largely be dictated by whatever sequence allows you to keep moving. Walk through the stage, unless absolutely necessary don't stop, that should allow you to visualize an efficient sequence.
can you do a video on finding the dot quickly? I am about Two months in and shooting C/O. I am SLOW, but accurate, which isn't great scores but I am working on it. I find myself hunting for the dot at times in the middle of larger stages. I find pushing down with the dominant thumb helps a lot. Any tips would help, love your stuff!
Put a target paster on your wall, stand whatever distance you want from it and stare at it. Bring the gun into your line of sight, repeat as many times as necessary until you have developed a presentation that puts the dot on top of the paster. There's no trick to it.
I'm a newbie at shooting but my question is what target should I use to work on accuracy I'm sure to work on accuracy I definitely should not shoot on human size target at 3 yards but please tell me what target should I shoot and at what distance
The actually target you are shooting matters little. You can pick any small spot on a target and that is what you should try to hit when working your accuracy and precision.
@@TacticalHyve but can you please tell me a specific target for my satisfaction because small target is a bit confusing how small??? At which distance??
It all depends on your skill level. If you can’t shoot a 1-inch circle at 7-yards, then you wouldn’t work that target at 7-yards. You would move closer, find a bigger target, or do both. You need to find your own limits. We don’t know them or dictate them.
I have handled firearms since I was just a boy. (A long time ago) If I had gotten into competitive shooting in say, 1983, I might be good enough to compete by now. Lack of money and time has a way of preventing that from happening. I've met many people in my life, and many of them gun owners. Not one of them shoots in competition. Cannot shoot 52 weekends a year like the guys on You Tube, unfortunately.

Was he DQ'd for just the match or a long suspension?
@@jessechavez7081 usually you get DQ'd for the match (day). Probably broke the 180 rule or muzzle rule.

You should! It’s a lot of fun and will improve your shooting.

Not new to shooting, but very new to competition. These tips are spot on.
Yes! Have fun! Learn! Enjoy the journey!
This is a genuine and encouraging synopsis of entry level sport shooting. Looking forward to joining the sport! Thanks Myles always a great and informative email presentation.
I've just started shooting competitively this year. These tips feel really relevant to my first experiences shooting USPSA. Good presentation!
My only regret is not getting into it sooner. Love it, love the people at these matches, love the American spirit.
Getting friends into it has been awesome and hopefully soon wifey will join in the fun. She says she’s done sitting on the sidelines lol
Thanks, Myles! Always keeping it real and simplistic.
Myles does a great job, he is such a natural in front of the camera
Great content... I enjoy how you teach and your methodology. I anxiously await future videos on competition shooting.
My focus now is extreme distance shooting with 22 cal. rifle and pistol.
That’s pretty neat man! How far out do you typically go? I’ve recently learned how insanely fun it is to stretch a .22’s distance.
More to come!
Great advise...Excited to go!
Great channel. Very informative.
God Bless USA 🇺🇸 👊

Wow 😳
Great video , love all of your videos, could you do a video talking about shooting moving targets please.
Great tips! Its all about having good safe fun!
you are very humble and thank you very much for sharing that information once again another good video of yours THANKS
How do you select the order to engage the targets, how do you make your plan to not forget the sequence? Thank you Myles
Target engagement, provided the order isn't mandated by the stage such as in the case of a classifier, will largely be dictated by whatever sequence allows you to keep moving. Walk through the stage, unless absolutely necessary don't stop, that should allow you to visualize an efficient sequence.
Good job. Very well done video. I think you had good points and encouraged the new guys to get out there and give it a try.
Thanks!

always safety comes 1st!
Cool video. Maybe on next video, Need Tips on shooting while moving 😊
Great info can you provide suggestions on ur rig, holster belt etc. Thanks
Great Demeanor and Delivery!
Thank you!
Thank you, Myles!
What kind of holster are you wearing? Please respond. Haven't been able to find one. I use a canik trp rival w compensator
Could be a Double Alpha Academy Holster.
good video, nice to have a serious but more introduction style video.

@@TacticalHyve thanks last question is it possible to practice accuracy with gbb airsoft rifle
Yes, to an extent.

What make model is the 2011 on his rig ?
Atlas Nemesis in 40, but a lot of the internals have been gutted and fitted with different parts.
@@TacticalHyve Excellent. Thanks.

What state are you guys all from?
Wow, I did this entirely out of order... darnit!
😅
