Admit it you are a gamer and proud of it!

Correia, it was great fun shooting with you !

I didn't see your Surefire incident- but I must admit the very first time I shot a Glock (14 or 15 years ago (!)) I might possibly have had the knuckle of my left thumb right behind the slide...

Wouldn't have been that bad.... if hadn't done it again a few minutes later...

:banghead:


EDIT: I see the match results are up. Good shooting !

2nd place ain't bad. Ari beat me by .7 of a second. Stage 4 is the one where I nailed myself in the knuckle.

Just a word of caution!!!!!! That thing on top [slide] moves back fast!!!!!!

I am rapidly becoming a gamer...I'm going to a match this weekend in the Nashville area. Been trying to encourage a couple of acquaintances on this board to go, too.

I've been to 3 or 4 USPSA matches with my stock G17 in production class. (fortunately, the "regulars" are pretty tolerant with "newbies") I am into this enough that I just bought a G 34 practical/tactical for this sport.

I have been ok on accuracy, but my speed needs improvement. I consistently shoot middle of the pack.

The way I look at it, it's trigger time. Any practice I can get improves my accuracy, and with the competitive element, it puts some pressure on me to perform under some stress. IMHO, this puts me somewhat ahead with a SHTF situation. It's not like formal SHTF training, but it does keep me from going into a situation totally cold.

GamGod86, stick with it a little and have fun soon your be beating a lot of those NTPS "gamers". After a few matches you'll be gaming with the best of them. The G34 is the way to go for the Glocks. NTPS used to be the prime club for "gaming" they should have held classes.

Thanks for the reply and the encouragement.

Am I missing something? Do I detect a wee bit of sacasm with the word "gamers" or am I reading something unintended into your post? Didn't see it in your previous post.

Have you been to an NTPS match?

No, no bad sarcasm. I shot a few matchs at NTPS and found when I started going to state matchs, I had learned a lot from the club stages and the people at the club. It was like being over prepaired for a test, I thought the state matchs would be harder. They were challenging just didn't realize how challenging some of the club matchs were. Good practice.
Maybe I will see you there. I might shoot Sunday........guess I will have to dig out my IPSC stuff

 

[gamegod86]

I'll be there Saturday...I have a video/TV technical project at church on Sunday.

I hope to see you there, if you can go Saturday. I'm 6'3", shooting a G34, and probably will have my 8 yr old son there with me.

Thanks,
Todd

You may want to check out some of the other matches around the area as well. They hold IDPA matches in Maury County, Manchester, Millersville and Gallatin. Manchester is supposed to start IPSC as soon as USPSA gets off its duff and sends them all the stuff. Drop me or Tac a line if you want more information.
