Video from today's USPSA action pistol match (placed 1st out of 12). There hasn't been a local USPSA match for a few months, so I was really looking forward to this match. This was the first match using the new custom magwell on my EAA/Tanfoglio Witness Elite Match. It really helped with the speed and smoothness of my magazine reloads. I had my first gun malfunction on the 3rd stage (hammer didn't fall when I pulled the trigger), but I was able to recognize it and work through it pretty quickly. I really enjoyed the "drills" type of stages since that's the type of thing I practice during my dry fire sessions at home every night.

Motorcycle Track Day - 08/09/2014 @ MSRH
We decided to take a spontaneous vacation and attend a track day with RideSmart at Motorsport Ranch near Houston, TX. This was our first time at this track and it was extremely hot. Due to the excessive heat, we only went out for four sessions on the track, but we still had a lot of fun.

IDPA Action Pistol Match 08/02/2014
Video from Saturday's IDPA action pistol match at the ShooterReady.biz outdoor action pistol range in Canyon, TX. I totally screwed up the third stage, so I only placed 7th out of 10. Otherwise, it was still fun, and that's all that counts. :-)

Yep... Another New Handgun
After installing a custom magwell on my EAA/Tanfoglio Witness Elite Match, I had some extra parts laying around (magazine base pads, checkered walnut grips, and a factory magwell) that I needed to put to use. So... I picked up a new EAA/Tanfoglio Witness Elite Limited Pro in .40 S&W to install all the extra parts on. I also swapped the uppers (slide, barrel, recoil spring, and guide rod) between the two guns so that I can shoot the Elite Match with .40 S&W in USPSA with major power factor and shoot the new Limited Pro with 9mm in Steel Challenge matches. The new combinations will work great for their intended usage, and I really like the way each gun looks with the uppers swapped.

IDPA Action Pistol Match 07/13/2014
Here's my hat cam video footage from Sunday's IDPA action pistol match at Amarillo Rifle and Pistol Club. Honestly, I did pretty poorly at this match (placed 7th out of 12). After reviewing the video, I could see all the mistakes I made where I wasted a LOT of time. I think I've gotten myself too concerned about getting good hits on swingers as well as taking too many make up shots, which throws my plan for each stage out the window. Recording all of my matches with a hat cam allows me to review my mistakes and hopefully learn from them. :-)

IDPA Action Pistol Match 07/05/2014
Here's my hat cam video footage from today's IDPA action pistol match at the ShooterReady.biz outdoor action pistol range in Canyon, TX (placed 2nd out of 16). Other than forgetting to disengage my gun's safety on stages 2 and 3, I felt like I did pretty good. :-)

Steel Challenge Pistol Match 06/28/2014
Video from my first ever Steel Challenge pistol match at the ShooterReady.biz outdoor action pistol range in Canyon, TX (placed 6th out of 17 in centerfire handgun). This was four stages, with four runs per stage. I had a brain fart on the third stage, but it was still a lot of fun. :-) I plan on attending these more often, but I will probably use my 9mm USPSA gun. I should be able to transition to each target faster since there is so much less recoil with that gun.
