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

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 ...

The 2025 season has begun and this year is gonna be special. Not only do I have two world shoots to go to, but I have a chance to fulfill a goal of mine that started five years ago. A lot of people don’t know, but I started this sport with a rifle and I set a goal to make the world shoot team. They put off the world shoot so many times I never thought I would see a PCC World Shoot. Now that it’...
Personal Growth

One of my greatest accomplishments in this sport has been my 6 Week Dryfire Programs. I have been getting back amazing feedback from the programs. The 6 week programs have also helped me in my own journey to get better.

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...
Fear Of Failure

Shooting with fear is something I see a lot. People become results driven and shoot with fear of making mistakes before they even happen. Once you let the fear of making mistakes go, you will truly grow as a shooter.

Tom Jason Comparison

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?
Переглядів 2 тис.2 місяці тому
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
Переглядів 3,9 тис.4 місяці тому
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...
Dry Needling Tennis Elbow

I have been very fortunate to stay relatively injury free in my career. After the 2023 Carry Optics Nationals I had some leg injuries that lasted for almost 6 months and nothing seemed to fix it. On a recommendation from my friend Greg,I decided to try dry needling from Marissa the owner of Redemption PT. After 3 sessions my leg injuries were gone. A year later the infamous Tennis elbow decided...

Thank you. I’ll be more aware of this going forward.
What are you using for dry fire targets?
Bro nothing better than hearing you amp yourself up mid run.. “ Let’s GOOO!!”” Keep it up. Age is just a number
Although I rarely shoot matches anymore, I still enjoy your videos. always try to catch them when I can. Man you’ve come very long way from the first class that was fortunate to attend.
@@michaelgee2210 unfortunately the sport has filled with even more drama since you left. Miss hanging out brother
Is your dry fire program included in the monthly subscription?
Yes it’s part of both monthly plans.
Interesting video. You work a lot and hard. You showing good results . Also your passion for this sport that radiates from you helps to be beter and better. I hope you will be one of the favorites to win WS2025. Keep pushing hard training. And forget about Florida
Hey Tom, what load and setup are you using for your JP5?
I am running a 70 locker with a 1 tungsten and steel weight on the buffer which is why I had a malfunction I believe. 125 gr brass monkey bullets
Double tap steel :40 😮
Nice and thumbs up for the description
Damn
Real life aimbot
What could I say - fast👍
Using UGH- / GUH- = 5% speed boost
I wondered. I thought he had to have had a bad malfunction. Thats hard af to walk away from and keep going hard
It's simply incredible how good Max Leograndis is in PCC.
Looks really good💪
Way to go Tom. Supporting my favorite coach 100%
That thing is tossing brass right under your feet, surprised it malfuncioned only a few times haha. Good match, congrats!
looks like you're getting some freeze now and then? is that a sd3g?
@@slowslowslowrobot yes
would that have been 1st overall if not for that malfunction?
@@Y_Shoootr it’s hard to tell. I had to push a little on day 3 because I was down points but Max shot a great day 3 and I didn’t.
@@TCSA either way congrats for the podium finish!
Congratulations! As always a pleasure watching you work.
What are you averaging for splits? The sound is amazing 😮
@@chadnelson2937 I’m around a .14 split at 25 yds now as long as I mount the gun properly. That’s 2 alpha.
@ that’s incredible. Are you using blowback for a roller kit?
@ no sir this is a JP 5
@@TCSA i think you are being humble bro 😂 even at 25 yards they sound .10ish
How do you like the AEMS? Thought I was the only one to use it in pcc lol. Which reticle are you using? Wicked fast shooting, wish I was half as good.
@@warlordof3 I really like it so far. Only shot it during this match so far and it ran flawlessly.
GAWT DAMN!!!
Dude what stock is that, I love it!
@@russiancommy prs lite
Thank you for the response. Thank you!
Damn... pcc is bullshit lol😅
@@LeonardLolmaugh 😂😂😂
@TCSA still crushing it. 🎉
I would have liked stage numbers and both versions.
@@SteveMiles they are both in reverse order 30 to stage 1
@@SteveMiles I will also be sharing them individually throughout the weeks talking about them.
@@TCSA will watchout for this
I love the intensity and explosiveness in every movement. I recently found your channel and the mental mindgame I feel isn’t talked about enough and you go over it a lot in your previous videos. Thank you for the videos and I’m def trying to emulate more of what you’re putting out.
Thing sounds like a binary trigger... impressive
Man those malfunctions are frustrating as heck, especially when it could have been possibly the PCC overall win.
damn tom slow down, your foot work is to fast, splits are way to fast, and you clear malfunctions to fast. People are going to think you speed up your videos. some really nice shooting tho homie.
Are you still shooting the PCC that you told me I should get because my MPX wasn't working or are you shooting the one that you were given to do a review of
Tom has moved on to a JP5
Congratulations, very good performance! Thanks for the video! Looks impressive! Hope to see you at WS2025
excelent tom. 🔥🔥🔥
Congratz to the silver position! IMO 2nd place is a good result for your overall evolution ... and there's no shame in losing to Maxamundi ;-)
It's sprung to heavy. It needs a 15# spring.
Would love to take a class, I’m in southern MN and totally would have made the drive! What’s the best way to find your classes ?
@@JasonionN www.tcsacoaching.com/class-information
I really need to buy land, here in Ocala we are very limited in the ranges we can use and shoot move and communicate.
"Gravity, is working against me" - John Mayer...lol in all seriousness, keep crushing it brotha! I'm always learning from you.
Excited for this progression! Let’s go USA! Check in the inline valve on the rotary durder!
Let's go USA!
Get some!
Dry fire program is awesome! I’m on day 15 already seeing results!🎉 gotta put the work in, GRIND!😅
@@chrisdiceart that’s awesome. Love to hear it.
Get sum!! Just grabbed 1st pcc. Time to get into another rabbit hole
👍🏾
It was amazing to see you run the PCC this past weekend. More amazing when you ran the reshoot in the same time as the first. Congrats on the overall win also.
I’m not in your dry fire program but I could tell from summit that you’re really good at teaching people. Especially through positive reinforcement. I love seeing it!
@@joie0 thank you. I really appreciate it. I really enjoyed the summit
@@TCSAI hope you will be coming to the summit this year again
@@joni-jones I think it’s going to happen
Jason is a cool dude
