"Outlaw" Action Pistol Match 04/04/2015

Video from another "outlaw" action pistol match at the ShooterReady.biz outdoor action pistol range in Canyon, TX. This was a combination of USPSA rules, IDPA scoring, with a lot of steel targets thrown in.  I entered in two different divisions at this match. I shot in "Open" division with my EAA/Tanfoglio Witness Elite Match in .40 S&W (normally used for USPSA Limited Division), and I shot in "SS/ESP" division with my EAA/Tanfoglio Witness Limited Pro in 9mm (normally used for IDPA ESP Division). I placed 2nd in Open and 3rd in SS/ESP.  It was interesting to me that I was only 5 seconds faster raw time with my "open" gun, but I was much more accurate with it since my adjusted time was around 30 seconds faster.

USPSA Action Pistol Match 03/28/2015

I forgot to post this USPSA action pistol match video on my blog last weekend. I started out rocking the first two stages by shooting all "alphas" (center zone hits), but then had some malfunctions that were magazine related (I was mistakenly loading one too many rounds in them), and then had a brain fart and a miss. Despite the problems, I still managed to come in 3rd out of 7 total.

IDPA Action Pistol Match 03/08/2015

What a great weekend of shooting IDPA action pistol matches! I had some misses on the last stage (the black painted "hard" cover always messes with my head), which will hurt my overall score, but it was still a great day. :-)

IDPA Action Pistol Match 03/07/2015

I was able to attend an IDPA action pistol match today, since this weekend's motorcycle track days got canceled due to cold temps and 80% chance of rain in the DFW area. :-(  I did pretty good EXCEPT that I couldn't hit a single steel target at 50 yards to save my life! :-P  Otherwise I had an really good time.

IDPA Indoor Action Pistol Match 02/11/2015

It's been a while since I recorded an indoor IDPA action pistol match. I decided to try out my new CZ-USA CZ 75B Stainless Limited Edition that I recently acquired for occasional competition use and occasional carry use. The gun ran great, but I had a magazine fumble on one stage and a procedural penalty on another for shooting some targets out of sequence (placed 2nd out of 11 total). Still had a great time! :-)

IDPA Action Pistol Match 02/08/2015

Lots of shooting this weekend with another IDPA action pistol match at Amarillo Rifle and Pistol Club in Amarillo, TX. The weather was absolutely perfect for a match in February, and my shooting wasn't too bad either (placed 2nd out of 15 total). :-)

IDPA Classifier Pistol Match 02/07/2015

Video from today's IDPA Classifier match. The IDPA Classifier is a "standard test" used to classify shooters based on their current skill level, so that they can compete with other shooters with a similar skill level. This was my second time to shoot a classifier, and my final score of 128.89 seconds ranks me as a "Sharp Shooter" which is just a fancy title for being an average shooter. :-P I was shooting my EAA/Tanfoglio Witness Elite Limited Pro in 9mm in Enhanced Service Pistol Division. The gun had two failure to feed malfunctions (not sure why yet, but I suspect it wasn't lubed enough), but I still wouldn't have gotten a better classification if those malfunctions hadn't happened.
