Yea Chris, it was so great! We will definitely be keeping an eye out for his class. Maybe even make a video on it.

Great advice for new shooters. I see too many people come out and watch a match then they never come back and shoot. You guys showed how welcoming the shooting community is.

It depends where you go like anything else in life. Some places you are made to feel welcome, and others not so much.

Just shot my first match. Very welcoming community, gave me a lot of advice and had great advice. Just as you said, very nervous leading up to my first round. Once my first shot was off I was fine. It's a great time and I did better than I expected. 5th out of 9 and did better each round.

don't "slow down", increase control. bravo! you don't re-grip, and your follow through is evident. man, you're one of the better "beginners" around. good times ahead!

I'm retired LE and going to start this. I see I will struggle on things like not standing in an "open doorway," when I load a magazine I always invert the gun to let gravity do its thing, we double taped everything. It will definitely be a learning experience for me. Unlearning techniques that have been second nature for a long time, 30+ years. I'll be eating a lot of humble pie for awhile. I'll be shooting iron sights until I get used to optics... crawl, walk, run. Great video guys.

That is exactly what I found shooting my first matches with the IDPA, the guys take you in accept you and help you all the way through. Great people, good time and all while doing something exciting!

Camera man interviewing skills are top notch. Awesome video guys really appreciate it.

Just stumbled across this channel. Great video! As an introvert, I absolutely loved that you mentioned the camaraderie that takes place during a shooting match or even in a squad. Shooting might seem like a daunting sport for a lot of people, but once you get to the range, you almost always meet the most supportive, humble and helpful guys. Keep up the good work man!

Looks like you have a good foundation of skills. All in all I would say you did a great job for a first-timer. The next step is to dry fire like crazy and never stop learning. 👍

LOVE shooting stages created by Tim

love this series, please keep it up

This is great! Thanks so much for sharing. I shot my first IDPA match last weekend and experienced all the same emotions. You did much much better than I did!

You guys are genuine, open minded, and very enthusiastic. Good attitude, and well done on the first match. I just registered with USPSA last week, picked up a Shadow 2 Orange, been practicing every day if I can. Got my first match (Steel Challenge) Jan 20th. Super anxious and excited. Keep up the great work man!

This is super cool to watch...Been thinking about getting into the competition circuit...Looks FUN!

excellent video. you get better every time you go out. i remember my first match. nerve racking and overly excited. keep it up!

Congrats man. Your development through stage per stage was awesome to see. Keep it up. Love this enthusiasm! Frank and Tim are great dudes.

Great video, congrats on such awesome performance, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to my first match. Content about USPSA is very supportive. Awesome!!

pretty good content for new shooters. keep up the content. helps the sport grow!!

hey that's my friend Tim Herron. he us the man to listen to.. getting ready to do my first uspsa and I plan on texting him for tips couple days prior

That's pretty cool. Gonna be awesome to watch a person progress from the beginning

Got my first pistol match coming up 3/19. I can relate to everything your saying when it comes to accuracy over speed. Nervous and excited!

Welcome!! Great video!

This looks so fun. I just started shooting but have been wanting to try this out bc I'm super competitive but also extremely eager to get better

Eyyy, that's Tim Herron! Good shooting. I'm shooting my first match this weekend.

1st match coming up soon. So excited!

I love USPSA it has become my primary weekend hobby.

U lucky dude. That was Tim Herron.

Would love to see more! 🔥

This is something im looking to get into soon. I appreciate this video and look forward to more in this series. I would suggest different or better lav mics or maybe just balancing the audio in post a bit. Hard to hear the person on camera but the camera man is loud and clear. keep it up man!

What's up dude! I'm the dude in the grey hoodie with the Glock 34. Hope to see you out there again soon. I know you interviewed me but I dont think it made the cut (I can ramble).

Dude. I had a chuckle at the “road to gm”, but you’re gonna be fine. It’s a serious rabbit hole, but you get to hang with some of the best people around-and not just the fast ones. The easiest, cheapest way to a competitive advantage is to learn the rules. Just sayin. Your closing description of what it’s like is spot on and good to hear. One of the very best parts of this sport is that once you’re doing it, it’s basically the same everywhere. Sign up, show up, and shoot!

Tim Herron is an awesome instructor and a big name in USPSA. Take a class with him ASAP! Awesome work man!

I just did my first competition 2wks ago i wish i watched this video prior lol the competition killed my confidence but it was so fun. 😊 I’d definitely try again

Looking forward to more videos! Hope to see you at the next match too.

Thanks Marty n we'll be seeing you there for sure!

Welcome to the sport!!! 👊🏻

Good luck to you. I don't have the time to practice enough to be competitive.

just started sport shooting this July. 😊

Awesome video I’m also looking to shoot my 1st match

Good video guys.

I know I’m late to this but thanks for sharing!

nice guys. keep it up

Great video and very good gun handling. Your approach to your first match is right on. I have doing USPSA for 27 years and still enjoy it. You should check the rulebook that you can load on the USPSA App regarding magazine location relative your belt. From what I can see, the double mag pouches are not legal as they place the outer mag too far outward from your belt. I'm not criticizing you, I just don't want you to shoot for no score at a match for illegal equipment.

Damn you got to shoot with Tim Herron your first match!

Swingers. Are the dynamic targets.

Cool. I started 3 years ago (at 65) with Frank Garcia at Universal Shooting Academy. Yes, I waited way too long! First match was the Florida Open, perhaps the hardest match there is! I walked the first match. I hurt my back so I have had to slack off a little but look at my channel and you will see some of what you will go through! Bill

Anyone have a link for match locations? I live in Iowa and there aren’t any in my surrounding area 😔

2:08 I think that cute girl took something from your truck lol great job out there keep having fun!!

How many rounds do people expect to shoot during a match. Do you buy ammo or reload?

@ron8566

18 to 20 rounds per stage. So about 80 for the typical match.

😎👍🏿

What holsters and belt and accessories do u use? Great job

I’m 10 months late how far have you made it?

Where was this match at?

🙂👍

I would never remember the stage instructions, I'd get the sequence wrong every time.

14:45 what do you mean he was the only shooter ??

You still going?

Leg position for the strong hand shooting wasn’t optimal.

This vid is a yr old. How’s your road to GM going?

Armer all the mags on a Glock and they will drop clean every time.

I want to get into competition shooting

So, are you a GM yet?

Good shooting …. Work on recoil control first , then trigger control, obviously safety is number 1, after you get your accuracy and trigger control then you can work on your movement…. Getting out of the pocket faster… coming into the target with your gun up already,,, transitions etc….

If you’re hitting all alphas you’re going too slow 😊

games all games .how far has shooting fallen ..how to get killed with b/s guns
