USPSA action pistol match at the Southwest Shooting Center in Clovis, NM with the Southwest Performance Shooters club. I was shooting my Race City Defense RC9c from concealment (AIWB) in the Open division.
I haven't competed at an outdoor match for 5 months, and I had been sick with a pretty bad cold that I am still recovering from, so my performance at this match was certainly not my best as I have not been doing my normal weekly practice for a few weeks.
Stage 1: I ran this first stage pretty conservatively. I had all A-zone hits, but it was a slow time. I ended up in 9th place.
Stage 2: I was able to speed things up a little and did pretty well. I had three C-zone hits and ended up in 3rd place.
Stage 3: An unloaded start that led to a balancing beam, and then around a corner to another isolated shooting position. I again picked up the pace a little more and came in 1st place for this stage with all A-zone hits.
Stage 4: A two position stage with two paper targets, two steel poppers, and a Texas Star. I got through the Texas Star perfectly, but one of the poppers didn't fall when I hit it so I had to re-engage it. I also had a C-zone hit on one of the paper targets and ended up in 8th place.
Stage 5: A low round count classifier stage (25-03) that I got two C-zone hits on, which put me in 7th place.
Despite a lower score on several stages, the win on Stage 3 netted me 3rd place Overall out of 22 total. It felt good to get back to shooting a match.
