Thank you so much. I'm getting ready to sign up for my first USPSA match. This video is the best I've seen to help me understand what I need to do.

Eric Kamps. An amazingly positive, inspiring and helpful individual. Schultz, and amazing club. Great video!

Couldn't agree more!

I just shot my first match about 3 weeks ago. It had been about 10 years since I've fired a gun and everyone was super helpful and friendly. A buddy let me borrow his gear and I had an absolute blast! I even achieved my goal of not finishing last. I wish I had seen this series before I had gone but I'm glad its here. Please make more competition content!

I’m going to be shooting my first match in the first week and this video has been the best resource in preparation. The step by step explanations as well as breakdowns of thought process throughout the stages are awesome insight. Appreciate the great content!

Love this content you guys have been putting out! Super useful for someone interested in getting into competitions.

Great intro/overview. Thanks 👍

Great video!! Very informative!

That was awesome. Thanks.

More of this content please 👏

Amazing job

This was great! Going to observe for the first time tomorrow at my local club. Started last summer with steel challenge and now looking into uspsa. Very informative. Keep up the good work👍🏼👍🏼

What an informative video! I liked how you guys kept it real and talked through your thought process while walking the stage and analyzing your run afterwards. I'll be sharing this with my fellow shooting friends as well!

Great video!

Awesome video.

Thanks for this

Good stuff man. Keep it up🇺🇲

Great video. The best I've seen so far that really gives you a feel for a match. That said...... I find it makes me wonder if I can actually do a match. It looks complicated and intimidating....and fun. I've tried to find someone to hire for instructions/simulated match, but none so far. It surprises me that there seems to be no " newcomer instructions/walk through" for USPS and/or other match organizations. Suburban Philly is my location. Thanks again for this Great video

40:12 “I just kinda saw brown and started shooting” 😂😂 every cop ever. I’m JP

I've heard a couple of those names before down at NPCCC. Some heavy hitters. That looks like a really nice club.

Looks like a lot of fun I need to see what Indiana has I'd love to get good enough to do this !!!

Hey bro, I just found your channel/content and it's great. Please keep it coming. I am a fan of the Sig P365 family. It'd be awesome if you could get the new Radian Comp for the P365 or X-Macro for testing and evaluation. Thanks

One thing I'd like to point out is if you show up1.5 hours early and stages are still being built, do not start walking them, ask where you can help. As you said, it's a volunteer sport.

Love this content. If you do more maybe some first person camera shots?

Your the man. Thank you for the info. These videos are like skate videos when i was a kid. You get me pumped to shoot

Great question. It’s something we’re still trying to figure out, and it’s a little different for everyone. But what we’ve found is to have the right mindset going into before you even start, and having buddies you can go with that can keep you honest, give you feedback, and help you have fun is really helpful. At the end of the day, it comes down to what your goals are and what you are looking to get out of it. - Justin

Can you guys do an after match equipment check and cleaning.

Well I know what I’m starting my work day playing on tv👀

Am I allowed to use a hard case for bringing the firearm to the safety table if it is only the firearm in that case or do I need to have a soft case of some sort for that?

Yes that would work no problem

When you shoot fast doubles at 7 yards, are you using predictive shooting or actually have time to confirm each shot?

Predictive!

How do you get the tek loks from not sliding around before putting your outter belt on? I have Velcro behind them when I put the belt on the inner but I always have to use do a few times to adjust them back and forward

@GatewayDefense

Putting some adhesive Velcro loop on the inside of the Tek lok that sticks to the Velcro hook of the outer belt completely fixes that!

Those are the scores via phonetics (Alpha, Charlie, and Delta) for the target Alpha being the best score and Delta being the lowest. Mikes are misses

If you're just starting out, keep in mind what is going on in the USPSA with the BOD. You might not see USPSA matches in your area so shoot the HF matches and don't give your money to the org until they fix their stuff.

@GatewayDefense

4 ай бұрын

Lots going wrong with the organization currently but that doesn’t change the fact that USPSA has long been the single best shooting sport in the US and is the reason for so many people becoming better. Regardless of what happens, that fact remains. But yes, we are big supporters of supporting PCSL and other hit factor matches in the meantime as well.
