PCC World Shoot Part 2
Part 2 of my journey to the PCC World Shoot.
Day 1 was a heck of a day.
After starting the first stage of the day with a malfunction I had to really let all the negative go and stay focused on what I could control.

2025 USA Extreme Stage 3
Переглядів 2207 годин тому
2025 USA Extreme Stage 3 One thing I learned last year shooting against @topehetherington is that I needed to always be attacking the movement. I truly thought that was something I was doing until I actually started stage planning moving on everything. This means I put a lot more emphasis on movement and then think about the risk. This start position had what I call 2 shoot me now targets. They...

2025 USA Extreme Stage 2 This is the follow up stage after a 50 point loss on Stage 1. The number 1 thing I do after a mistake on a previous stage is find the answer on what happened and then let it go. I see a lot of people struggle with this. The reason they struggle is they think somehow worrying about what already happened is going to change whats next. This is not possible, so I focus on e...

2025 USA Extreme Stage 1 I started this match off just not completely locked in. I was just going through the motions of my walkthrough and not locked into the details like I should have been. I was so focused on positioning and I forgot all about the mount and calming myself down at the start. My gun was all over the place until I had a malfunction. The malfunction was a result of my setup and...

30 stages of IPSC in 3 days was exactly what I was looking for in preparation for the PCC World Shoot. This is a difficult post for me right now because 2nd really sucks and I know I really let myself down on the last day. I shot 3 really consistent days and pushed on every stage as much as I could but day 3 when I needed it the most, it just wasn’t there consistently to gain back the points I ...

They put off the world shoot so many times I never thought I would see a PCC World Shoot. Now that it’...

Self Analysis
Переглядів 714Місяць тому
The hardest thing to do as a shooter is to self analyze your own shooting after you finish running a stage. The reason why it is so difficult is because we can’t see and remember everything in the moment that it happens. If you want to find the next level of your shooting you have to start videoing all of your stage runs and a lot of your practices. The power of video is so important because it...

I was having a conversation with a student of mine and he wanted to know where he was losing his time. I was lucky enough to have shot the local match with him and have him send me his videos. I hear people say stage planning doesn’t matter only execution. That’s only true if the guy with the better stage plan screws up. A superior more efficient stage plan will always allow for a few mistakes ...

Rule 10.5.16 has been around for quite some time and seems to be a rule a lot of people don’t understand until it affects them, so I figured I would give a little explanation. Before I sent this video out to the world I checked with the NROI to just double check my facts. I was also happy to hear that they are looking at all the rules and are trying to simplify the definitions. Tcsacoaching.com...
Are You Actually Practicing?

Are you actually practicing or just doing reps? When I first started I was the king of wasted rounds. I shot 20,000 rounds before I figured out how to practice in my first year. Proper practice comes down to being focused at the task at hand. Not the results of the drill but what got you those results. The paper or steel is a direct result of what you are doing with your fundamentals up range n...
Crossing Your Feet

Your footwork leads to most people’s inaccuracies on targets and they don’t even realize it. The biggest change I had to make was to stop thinking about the gun and start thinking about what the gun does while moving. One of the first things I learned to eliminate was crossing my feet. Once I eliminated that I was able to become a lot more consistent in my accuracy while entering targets. As we...
