Outlaw Action Pistol match (IDPA Scoring) at the Amarillo Rifle and Pistol Club. I was shooing my V6 ported Bul Armory TAC 4.25" from concealment (AIWB) in the Optics division. I was planning to shoot my new Springfield Prodigy Carry Comp, but one of the optic plate screws sheared off during practice, and I am waiting for new mounting screws to arrive. 😕 Due to how long it was taking us to get through the first two stages, we decided to combine the last two stages into one large stage so that we could get done before it got too hot.
Stage 1: A little mandatory running back and forth, with a tight squeeze through a "door way" for the final shooting position. My performance was pretty good on this one. I finished in 2nd place with 4 points down.
Stage 2: Start position was kneeling with your hands behind your head, then retrieve your unloaded gun and magazines from a gym bag full of clothing and engage all of the targets in a very specific order with a total of three shots per target. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention and used a magazine that was only partially loaded. It had enough rounds to get me to my intended reload point, but the chamber was empty when I reloaded and had to rack the slide after I got a click with no bang. I finished in 3rd place with 7 points down.
Stage 3: Five shooting positions, lots of targets (some with a very specific engagement order), and 4 reloads. No way to go really fast as everything was just far enough or small enough that you had to really hold yourself accountable for every shot. I finished in 3rd place with 7 points down.
A lot of really good shooters showed up for this match, and it was great to shoot alongside them and verbally harass them when they made mistakes. 😜 I ended up in 2nd place Overall out of 22 total.
