- Alright so, the idea of this video is to answer questions about what I did. If you have a question, ASK! I want to discuss the match, the stage plans and overall USPSA PCC division. Hit me!
Here’s my full match from the 2022 PCC Nationals, in the order I ran the stages. Day 1 was stages 1-7, day 2 was stages 8-13 and day 3 was stages 14-20. I’ve included a brief summary of each stage and why I chose to run it that way if there was another viable option.
I included time stamps and stage plans in the comments.
8 - 1:32 - A very fun stage but with only 1 really good plan. Engage 2 targets on the left, move to the right to hit another 2 targets and 2 steel. The trick to this opening was 1:1 on the steel of course but also getting A’s and not dropping unnecessary points on C’s or D’s, much less slapping a no shoot. Through the window was a modest no shoot to trap a heavy step low shot and a mini popper to slow you down if you missed and pulled out early: a great sequence. The end was a popper that activated a swinger you had to engage from another position, 25 yard target and a 20 yard partial with steel hard cover in front and behind. This was a dumb target but putting 3 on it was planned due to the small A zone. I ended up with 2 A’s and a tight delta I called a miss. Moving to the right I entered on the open paper, poppers and took 2 passes as my first pass I called a miss, finishing on the no shoot paper hidden by the barrel on the left. Final swinger was 2 A, 1D so good 2nd pass make up.
Awesome stage to start on since it was somewhat technical with plenty of time to walk and program it in.
9 - 1:53 A very fun stage starting with an unloaded start. I moved right because I was comfortable with the load into 2 open paper, then straight into the 4 steel with 1 being an activator for the swinger. I hit an open paper moving forward, then 2 open paper to the right backing out to the window position. This let me spot the swinger, which I ended up being slow shooting, moving to the 2 paper, and coming back for 3 hits, 2 A’s. I finished on the left 3 paper which had a wall that soaked up some bullets from other shooters so I was cognizant of my muzzle position.
While I did see other shooters run this to the left, I thought the flow of moving into the poppers and out on the right paper made the stage a bit simpler due to the swinger activator being a mini hidden behind a big popper.
10 - 2:11 Not much to this one. I went straight across the bottom and almost reloaded early. Either way, somewhat of a boring stage other than I chose to keep my first 5 sight pictures open with the last 3 being tight top targets.
11 - 2:21 I went against the grain on this one and went left first. I started on 2 paper, activator, open paper, then swinger in a planned 2 pass engagement because we only had the top presentation with no dwell. I moved left to 2 targets with 1 being a super tight long shot without switching shoulders, which I thought would be faster. Then I moved to 2 paper in the window, an explosive retreat to the left corner, then more explosive movement to soak up the distance to the right and front.
Normally I’d end on the left lean. However, moving to the right first was an extra 8 steps. Additionally, it didn’t flow exceptionally well. The left lean in the middle of the stage was certainly awkward to get out of, especially going back and to the left. However, after walking the stage for 30 minutes both ways, I just went with what was more comfortable and what played to my strength of covering the back 3 distances with fast movement. Either way, this was a tough technical stage.
12 - 2:47 One of my favorite stages. This stage was about shooting on the move in the beginning, then explosive movement into and out of the 2 back positions I took the paper left first, then right to transition to the 4 poppers on the move. Each of the outer poppers activated drop out targets so you had to engage the steel before going to either left or right positions at the end. From there, engage targets as you see them. Again, the trick was getting into and out of the back right and left positions quickly.
13 - 3:02 Our last stage of day 2. This was a very straightforward start anywhere on the back fault line stage. Start left, 2 paper 2 poppers and move right for the same. The end sequence was a super fun activator sequence with each of the back mini poppers CROSS activating the max trap and bobber. I chose to double the right popper to drive it down fast, hit the left popper, hit the right mini and then transition back to the left mini. You can see at one point the left mini is up while the left popper is still falling. Doubling the first popper on the right gave me plenty of time to hit the right popper for the max with a semi-delay on the bobber so I could hit the left mini, then the max trap and ambush the bobber with 3 clean shots. The bobber being mostly hard cover forced me to make a 4th shot as I called a low C into the black on the bob: 2 A’s final hits.
Great info. I shoot PO in IPSC but just shot my first PCC match and am watching everything I can to learn more about movement. I have my belt set up exactly the same with red Ghosts and magnets but on a Kore ratcheting battle belt system . Cool stuff !
Glad you found it useful!
14 - 3:19 A left first or right first stage. I went left first for flow. Either way would be fine. The middle 6 targets were about changing up the sight picture and shot speeds for the available A zone. The end sequence is why we do pause squats. I chose to engage the left paper coming in, doubling the first big popper first again, then 1:1 on the rest of the steel to avoid transitioning to the paper then back. Finishing on the paper also allowed me to ensure good hits without worrying about pulling out early and swinging wildly back and forth going from paper to poppers multiple times.
15 - 3:36 Starting anywhere on the back fault, going right first eliminated a massive amount of back movement. Clearing the 4 targets on the right also allowed the left side to really flow. Coming around the corner you could enter on an open paper, slam 2 mini poppers, get clean hits on the hard cover turtle by the wall without slamming the wall, then move to the left open target.
From there I chose to engage the hidden right paper only. This was so I didn’t forget a target, no other reason. It might have been faster to come in on the mini then clear left to right but then I had to remember more targets. I then sprinted to the right to engage the hidden mini popper on the left, which also allowed me to engage the final array left to right which was great for the remembering all the remaining targets.
16 - 3:57 Danny’s option stage. This was a fantastic stage with targets having multiple points where they presented a viable option to engage. Start slamming 2 targets and leaving the left open for a future position. This allowed me to move left immediately and exit moving. Moving to the left I engaged paper first then the popper, which was hidden by a deceptively large wall that liked being shot.
In the middle position I engaged the no shoot, big steel at the end, skipped the open paper and left on the left side hidden paper only visible from the center. Leaving the paper for later allowed better hits and something to do at the end.
Then I immediately engaged the open paper from the beginning, covering movement with a wide open paper. I ONLY engaged the no shoot target along the wall from the right position. This was so I could get better hits and an easier position at the end. Skipping the paper and poppers meant I didn’t have to engage these on a lean only to come back to that target array for a hidden mini that had to be engaged at the end. Simpler plan IMO.
From the end I came in to the nail in the boards to hit the, *shocking* hidden mini. 1:1 allowed me to move to the open paper I left from before in the window, activator steel normal steel, 3 shots on the hard cover bobber due to a called C, finishing on a long paper, 2 mini poppers with 1 being hidden to the right.
17 - 4:20 Fixed time 8 s, Virginia Count. Goal was to engage every target with 2 A in 7.8 s time. I ended up doing it in 7.2 s but with a few C’s. 2 targets in the front, 4 targets in the rear. Movement was great, just a little squirrely on the first shot of each sequence. This is why we practice agility along with explosive movements. Being able to take a full second off the par time I had plenty of time to get A AND engage all 6 targets.
18 - 4:29 Another fantastic option stage, going back or going to the window first. I chose the back as I was already moving there. Engage the single back target, then move into the window on the open target. Activator steel, then other steel was the plan but I pulled out early and soaked up 0.5s in oopsie pull back time for the miss. After the steel engage a no shoot paper, then the silly activator that was a combo open-only clam shell with a no shoot bobber for distraction behind the target. Shoot throughs were prevented by a hard cover steel. The end sequence was just 3 targets but the movement to get into position was important to save time.
19 - 4:39 4 on each outside target, reload, 2 on each inside target. I dropped my only miss of the match ½ an inch into the hard cover slapping the trigger after the reload. I should have taken a less aggressive sight picture.
20 - 4:46 Awesome stage and the RO amped me the fun up challenging me to beat 20s. I easily did and I think I ended up with the fastest time on the stage. Starting with 2x 20 yard targets with no shoots to the right, then moving into a low port with 2 hard cover paper targets, again, pause squats. Exploding out of that position saved a good amount of time.
Moving into the middle position, 2 clean shots on the hard cover by the wall and 2 A’s on an open target to the right moving.
At the end, I entered on the big popper to start shooting quickly, cleaned all the steel 1:1 and left on a no shoot to the right hidden by the wall. No other real good way to engage this as the far right popper activated the swinger so you couldn’t time the popper swinger sequence.
I took 3 big shuffle steps back to the position I planned on engaging the swinger from. Staying low, I was able to ambush the swinger with 2 A’s after I got on it a little early with a first shot C.
Overall this was a fantastic match that really forced shooters to balance shooting on the move vs risk of dropping misses into hard cover or mini poppers. I loved the balance of short, medium and long courses as well as the activator sequences.
Here’s my full match from the 2022 PCC Nationals, in the order I ran the stages. Day 1 was stages 1-7, day 2 was stages 8-13 and day 3 was stages 14-20. I’ve included a brief summary of each stage and why I chose to run it that way if there was another viable option.
1 - 0:00 - Start moving left on open paper target, engaged all steel and paper from at the front with the hidden mini behind the right barrel. Moved to the right to engage another hidden mini, no shoot stack and partial. Retreated to center right to engage the single paper, then to right rear for the stack and partial between walls, same on the left at the end. Not really much to this stage other than execution and going 1:1 on the steel. The hard cover partials towards the end were deceptively far so with minor scoring, it was important to respect these with good sight pictures.
2 - 0:22 - Simple stage, same as Open for the most part. Engage 3 targets from the center box, 5 from each outer box. With no reload I chose to retreat to the right first, then take the longer run moving forward.
3 - 0:40 Start anywhere, I chose the back. This flowed very well for me and simplified the targets to “shoot as they appear. 4 targets from the first position with a blend step to hit a semi-hidden 5th target between walls. I loved this sequence. Run to a center position to take the 2 left targets by the barrel, hard cover only visible from here or further right-ish. I also slammed the 5 steel 1:1 and hit an open paper to the right moving out. Again, an excellent flow with the only downside being ending on the right then moving left. I tried to focus hard on the acceleration out of this position. Final position was 2 hidden targets that had to be engaged from the tip. Long shot on the right to finish, get A’s.
4 - 0:55 Strong hand paper array with the head box visible. I chose to send 3 rounds at the A box to ensure my hits since this stage was so fast. Reload and switch to weak hand for the steel. Extra shot on steel meant to hit the mini popper but doubled the big popper.
This was another excellent option stage. Engaging the paper first you took a risk on the head box of worse hits. Engaging the steel first, you got to engage the swinger with a full open presentation but weak hand. I had not practiced a weak hand swinger so I went weak hand steel.
5 - 1:05 Very fun option stage. I chose to engage the no shoot to the right as that disappeared first, then activator steel, normal steel, open paper coming back to the swinger. Moving to the right on 2 open paper I got a little excitable and overshot the position. Going right then allowed you to engage the left side paper between walls on the way back to the left. The left had something of a decent lean so I wanted to end there to avoid the time penalty of getting out of that position. Overall a great stage with 2-3 different plans to execute.
6 - 1:18 Nothing to it but to execute. I ran a safe time and moved on to the next stage.
7 - 1:20 My top finishing stage. Start on the no shoot to ensure good hits, move on the open paper to the right. Engage 2 targets then using explosive movement get the fun across the stage to start engaging the left side 2 targets. Minimizing down time not shooting here, I tried to get the rifle up early and track the A zone through the walls. Que Ben Stoeger’s drill, “Track the A Zone”
What optic and riser do you prefer? Thanks for your time great videos!!!
Glad you like them.
I run the Vortex UH-1 for this game. The larger window basically disappears in the holographic format. Spectacular for leaning shots and it's been extremely reliable.
the stage plan in the comments is invaluable, thank you! if you have IG or someway for me to ask for tips every now and then, that would be awesome, gonna try to make nats next year.
@klemashevich on Insta. Glad you enjoyed the write ups. Holler if you have questions!
Nice. Can you do a overview of the firearm?
Sure can!
What Pcc were you shooting.?
