I just shot my first match about 3 weeks ago. It had been about 10 years since I've fired a gun and everyone was super helpful and friendly. A buddy let me borrow his gear and I had an absolute blast! I even achieved my goal of not finishing last. I wish I had seen this series before I had gone but I'm glad its here. Please make more competition content!
One thing I'd like to point out is if you show up1.5 hours early and stages are still being built, do not start walking them, ask where you can help. As you said, it's a volunteer sport.
Amazing video, Ive only seen videos where they talk about the match versus you brought us through a whole match and gave us step by step play, Appreciate your channel and hardwork!
I’m going to be shooting my first match in the first week and this video has been the best resource in preparation. The step by step explanations as well as breakdowns of thought process throughout the stages are awesome insight. Appreciate the great content!
Nice instructional video. You did a great job explaining how things work. I’m very impressed with your gun skills. This is definitely getting to be a young man’s game.
I loved the GM advice there for new shooters like myself. Don't try to win your first match....safety, shoot all your targets, try to be accurate, and speed will follow....I'm taking this advice to the bank for sure....thank you a lot.... I'm already hooked on this channel... Eric...thanks....I will try to win my first match.
What an informative video! I liked how you guys kept it real and talked through your thought process while walking the stage and analyzing your run afterwards. I'll be sharing this with my fellow shooting friends as well!
This was great! Going to observe for the first time tomorrow at my local club. Started last summer with steel challenge and now looking into uspsa. Very informative. Keep up the good work👍🏼👍🏼
Great video. The best I've seen so far that really gives you a feel for a match. That said...... I find it makes me wonder if I can actually do a match. It looks complicated and intimidating....and fun. I've tried to find someone to hire for instructions/simulated match, but none so far. It surprises me that there seems to be no " newcomer instructions/walk through" for USPS and/or other match organizations. Suburban Philly is my location. Thanks again for this Great video
Hey bro, I just found your channel/content and it's great. Please keep it coming. I am a fan of the Sig P365 family. It'd be awesome if you could get the new Radian Comp for the P365 or X-Macro for testing and evaluation. Thanks
Great question. It’s something we’re still trying to figure out, and it’s a little different for everyone. But what we’ve found is to have the right mindset going into before you even start, and having buddies you can go with that can keep you honest, give you feedback, and help you have fun is really helpful. At the end of the day, it comes down to what your goals are and what you are looking to get out of it. - Justin
Am I allowed to use a hard case for bringing the firearm to the safety table if it is only the firearm in that case or do I need to have a soft case of some sort for that?
I'm participating in my first match next week, this is the second video that I've watched where they mention the gun sleeve, but noone really explains why. I was literally planning on throwing my gun case in a backpack. Would that be fine or is it necessary to have a sleeve, and what is the reason for the sleeve?
How do you get the tek loks from not sliding around before putting your outter belt on? I have Velcro behind them when I put the belt on the inner but I always have to use do a few times to adjust them back and forward
@@big.mike.shootsI would not question the safety rules. Some of the other things, possibly. I used to compete thirty, forty years ago when things were less complicated. If you can enjoy it, that's nice for you. Apparently the are 35,000 members out of 110 million gun owners, so it appears that most folks don't like it too much. Safety and success to you.
If you're just starting out, keep in mind what is going on in the USPSA with the BOD. You might not see USPSA matches in your area so shoot the HF matches and don't give your money to the org until they fix their stuff.
Lots going wrong with the organization currently but that doesn’t change the fact that USPSA has long been the single best shooting sport in the US and is the reason for so many people becoming better. Regardless of what happens, that fact remains. But yes, we are big supporters of supporting PCSL and other hit factor matches in the meantime as well.

Eric Kamps. An amazingly positive, inspiring and helpful individual. Schultz, and amazing club. Great video!
Eric is the man!
Couldn't agree more!

Thank you so much. I'm getting ready to sign up for my first USPSA match. This video is the best I've seen to help me understand what I need to do.

All signed up for my first match next weekend thanks to this series 🤙🏽
Vlogs like this would be incredible. Makes me want to go try this out
Watching this as an M with about 5 years worth of competiton shooting. Great advice and solid break down of your first match!

Careful…..it’s gets addicting real quick!
I've heard a couple of those names before down at NPCCC. Some heavy hitters. That looks like a really nice club.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this beginner video. I found it very helpful. Subscribed.
Love this content you guys have been putting out! Super useful for someone interested in getting into competitions.
great stuff. Informative and fun. Thanks
More of this content please 👏
Looks like a lot of fun I need to see what Indiana has I'd love to get good enough to do this !!!
I have yet to compete. This video was awesome in helping me understand what Im in for when I do Thank you so much, and great job!
I watched this video when it first dropped. Came back to it today. Would love more full match videos like this
@@codylamaar planning on it!
40:12 “I just kinda saw brown and started shooting” 😂😂 every cop ever. I’m JP
That reload off the table.... 🔥🔥
Love this content. If you do more maybe some first person camera shots?

Hey, great video. What ear protection are you using?

Great info and fun to watch, you should do more match day walkthroughs
@@peekD_ planning on it!
Can you guys do an after match equipment check and cleaning.
Your the man.
Thank you for the info.
These videos are like skate videos when i was a kid.
You get me pumped to shoot
Mission accomplished!
Cool bag. Which is it? I’m in the market for one
Awesome video.
What brand are the pouches and the bag?
Great intro/overview. Thanks 👍
Nice shooting! What are popular guns for carry optic?
Glock
M&P 2.0
Walther PDP
Sig P320
CZ Shadow 2 & P10
Canik
Are the most popular ones that you will see.
Thank you for the video. Very informative and thorough. How do you balance the self induced pressure to get better and still have fun?

Love the dude smoking a cigar 😂
Am I allowed to use a hard case for bringing the firearm to the safety table if it is only the firearm in that case or do I need to have a soft case of some sort for that?
Yes that would work no problem
What bag is that bro ? Nice compartments
Savior Equipment Specialist Range Bag 🤌
Great video!! Very informative!
Have you been to c&c i thought i shot a match with you there
Good stuff man.
Keep it up🇺🇲
Very cool video 🔥
That was awesome. Thanks.
When you shoot fast doubles at 7 yards, are you using predictive shooting or actually have time to confirm each shot?
Predictive!
Ok as a ( non ) uspsa player could you explain what ALPHA, DELTA, CHARLEY & MIKES mean
Those are the scores via phonetics (Alpha, Charlie, and Delta) for the target Alpha being the best score and Delta being the lowest. Mikes are misses

How do you get the tek loks from not sliding around before putting your outter belt on? I have Velcro behind them when I put the belt on the inner but I always have to use do a few times to adjust them back and forward
Putting some adhesive Velcro loop on the inside of the Tek lok that sticks to the Velcro hook of the outer belt completely fixes that!
@@GatewayDefense now I feel stupid lol thank you!
Thank you!! Super useful
Amazing job
Great video!
Great info thank you for documenting this
Glad it was helpful!
When do you get to pick up your brass
Never lol
I don't know when the switch to not picking up brass occurred but it seems today's matches don't help in that respect.
Is it ok to photo mapping of each stage to study as well?
Well done guys. Shooting my intro to USPSA match tomorrow.
Awesome. Let us know in this thread how it goes!
So do I! Best of luck.
@@ljfurie4085 You too!
@@GatewayDefensewhat pistol and caliber are you both shooting?!
What site do you use to find shoots and matches
PractiScore.com . Check out our video on how to sign up for one
Do you get points for hitting steel targets?
Yep! 5 points each.
Were you shooting NISA or schultz USPSA match?
NISA
Well I know what I’m starting my work day playing on tv👀
What range bag is that
Savior Equipment Specialist Range Bag!
Thanks for this
What belt hanger is that?
I (Justin) am using the BSPS Boss Hanger, and Brennan is using the Henning T-1000
Nice shirt
You already KNOW!!
Procedure errors to me seems like a game of memory or acting 🎭. But, must recite movements instead of lines.
When I found out that the rule book has 121 pages, it was kind of a turn off.
121 pages of rules of which are designed to keep you safe and the playing field level

Total newbie question. What does BOD, HF and PCSL stand for?
@@stevenaardweg4903
BOD = Board of Directors
HF = Hit Factor
PCSL = Practical Shooting Competition League
how do i find a match🥲
