2024 Western PA Sectional (USPSA) - 1st Place Limited Optics - Springfield Prodigy 4.25"
This was one of the most fun matches I've shot in a long time, and I really enjoyed the stages. Drew Maruski, Zach Poland, Bill Drummond, and all of the staff did an excellent job!
I really struggled on those mini poppers, which added a little over 10 seconds of total time in makeup shots throughout the match. Thats a huge amount of time, and definitely something I will need to improve moving forward!

Переглядів 878Рік тому
My STI Marauder has been lying around essentially unused since 2018, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to meme around with it in Limited Optics. So far I've been having a lot of fun finally having a reason to compete with it!

Match Results - www.practiscore.com/results/new/197847 This has always been one of my favorite IDPA Majors. I've been shooting a lot more USPSA locals lately, and was worried I was going to carry that pace over to this match and potentially drop more points than would be acceptable to place well. The goal coming in was to shoot as clean as possible, but I think I over-corrected way too much and...
