A martial artist instructor and gun enthusiast interviewed Todd Jarrett in March:
Todd grew up in Southeast Virginia, and was introduced to firearms early as small boy, and hunted like many other young men do out in the rural areas of Virginia. He got serious about competing in 1984, and in the time span that has past since then, he has fired approximately 2.2 million rounds in practice and competition. Because of the way Todd’s movements flow, and his technique when positioning his body in respect to his dynamic shooting as well as the way he manipulates his pistol,
Interesting article/interview. Todd seems like the genuine deal.
Santa brought Brian a Western Arms gas blowback replica of an SV Infinity 5”:
Thrown in a CED Air Soft timer, and some 1/7th scale USPSA steels and plate rack to make a complete training system in garage, basement or backyard.
The system uses “green gas”, which is basically propane without the scent. One $19 tank of actual propane and a $5 dollar tube of silicon oil will keep him shooting for a few thousand airsoft shots.
The system blows back the slide and is an exact replicate of an SVI Infinity 5”. They fit in my 2011 holster system and the magazines fit in the magazine holders on my belt as well.
Once we sorted it out (the manuals are in Japanese) we found it quite realistic and very accurate. Using a USPSA target sized to simulate 20 yards, he got 1.30 second draw to A zone hits in our first tests. Hitting pop cans at 15-20 yards is no problem. We have the system dialed down a bit now, but we can rev up the gas it uses to better simulate recoil.
Driven by the popularity of airsoft IPSC in Japan and Asia, there are many after market options for these guns.
GM = 95-100% M = 85-94.9% A = 75-84.9% B = 60-74.9% C = 40-59.9% D = 39.9% or less
% column above is what your hit factor from Saturday was relative to the 100% scores used for the classifier by the USPSA. The 100% in Limited, for instance, is held by Paul Clark. In Open by Travis Tomasie.
The numbers above reflect reshoots and re-entries. If your original match score was better, I used it.
$20 for 1000. I have approximately 200,000 uncleaned pieces. Thanks Sgt Scott Weibling Combat Marksmanship Team Weapons Training Battalion Quantico, Virginia Work:(703)-784-5233 Cell:(760)-500-9709
Note that 2 of the door stages will be “simulated doors” as we only have one physical door.
FYI… the current top Limited classification hit factor for CM99-12 is 9.0009, meaning you have to do it in 6 seconds and get all points, or if you drop, say 5 points, you would have to do it in 5.5 seconds. Good luck!
