Chip Hartman’s first USPSA run…

Category: Photos/VideosKen N. @ 10:48 am

After 4 static classifiers he was raring to run with a gun… here is how it went:

A few hiccups, but pretty good for the first time! 

What were the hiccups?  In the spirit of constructive criticism click “Read more” to see…

 


0:10 he could be standing closer to the door, no need to have body in front of window, just the hands.
0:16 too far into the port
0:18-20 shoot targets right to left, which had him leaning away from his next destination.
0:21 OOOPS. Ran past a target.
0:24 GOOD. Reload on the go.
0:24-25 Movement hoppy. Keep turret stable, feet moving fast.
0:28 gun facing up, back range.  Slower, but possibly safety violation as well.  Keep gun level, pull in to chest, rotate turret, move to next target
0:31 missed reload opportunity
0:39 pays with static reload
0:44 ends with awesome clean shots on steel.

 

Great run for a first time! Good solid fundamentals. 132 points out of 140 means he was shooting mostly Alphas.  And a 5th place on the stage.  Quite impressive for a 1st run.

Recommended remedial steps:

  • 2 more magazines  and belt storage so he can be free to reload at opportunities
  • dry fire practice reloads
  •
