Great to see a fellow engineer in the match! Today is my first match Im super nervous. Your video was extremely helpful thank you for sharing your experience.
@@TheEngineerShooter keep talking with Jim and he’ll get you setup on things to work on. I talked with him for a good bit and have incorporated his advise in my dry fire.
@@elfucho Well it's beyond the time and money issue. I do know that it isn't 1983 and President Reagan is no longer in the White House. I know that the shooting sports have changed a great deal. Some good changes, some not so good. Much of it has become a "spend-as-much-money-as-humanly-possible" situation, which is a real turn-off. Also, there are guys shooting every weekend and three times during the week, so I can't do anything except take a beating from them. In the old days, you would win one month, and maybe I would win the next month. Now it's the same five guys in places one through five every time. Just not enjoyable.
@@julianmercierthis is coming from someone who has never shot a match, but I would suggest if you still like shooting to try to turn off that mindset of “I’m never going to compete because I’m never gonna win.” I would bet a really excellent shooter with a run-of-the-mill gun could have a ton of fun and maybe win a match here and there if he practiced as much as he could. I would call myself “an advanced beginner” with a stock production gun and I get better with every shot. I take photos of targets after running the same set of drills and the groups get smaller and the times get faster. Maybe it’s not something you have time or a range for, but I will for sure shoot a couple hundred rounds in my drills the day before my first match (in two days from now). I shot three mags today and was bummed I had to stop. You may be someone that hates to lose so I get why you think competing is pointless against guys that have major gear advantages, but why not use that frustration as motivation to work harder?
@@julianmercier I know this is an older post, but forget how others are placing. Just focus on competing against yourself. Learn from those same five guys. Unless you're in the top 5%, it's not the gear that is making them win.

It was good to meet you man, and you did extremely well for that being your first stage. Looking forward to shooting a full match with you.
Likewise! I’ll def be out there again.
You did awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing a full match from you
Cool video mate. Glad I found you channel :) Cheers from France
Awesome man!!! I’m about to start my journey as well. Already did an idpa match. Want to see how the faster pace Uspsa is
You did great man! Little dry fire and you’ll be in the top ten! Looking forward to shooting with you again
I definitely could use some dry fire. Looking forward to it!

Indeed. I’m gonna hit a few training sessions with him.
Excellent work!
Cool. It looks like your at mcta I will be there this Friday to do ballistics and accuracy testing on a bunch of 9mm reloads I did using blue bullets
I am glad that you found it to be enjoyable. I have not had the same experience. It is doubtful that I will ever compete.
Why bro?

@@julianmercierso you suck?

They not allow the holster to be strapped to your leg?
No this is not allowed as the leg strap will squeeze the blood from your legs into your trigger finger making you pull the trigger more quickly
Supposedly only allowed for LE or mil guys. I didn’t read to hard into the rules.
@@TheEngineerShooter that’s pretty gay
@@joeboterf2523 😂😂😂
I'm glad they allow it now.
Hey man I saw an older video ! Are you in Washington state ?
Is that the world famous Jim Krantz? lol
