Shot my monthly match on Saturday. I’m still coming in middle of the pack in overall score, this time 11 out of 21.
I shoot slow. No doubt about that.
But I shoot well, only 6 points down for the entire match. Shot clean on three stages, two of them, nothing but head shots.
As one RO said “you left the store* covered in brains.”
*Course description: convince store robbery, P1 was in front of the counter.
Now for the corporate shill:
When the match is over and the range is cleaned up, I like to go do a little straight forward target shooting. Just to practice the fundamentals.
That is 8 rounds at 15 yards with my IDPA CDP gun.
Remington R1 Carry. UMC 230 grain 45 ACP.
Upgraded with a Wilson Combat Bulletproof wide thumb safety and semi-extended slide release.
Trigger job done by my buddy the 1911 Whisperer.
Like I said. I don’t shoot fast. But accuracy like that is how I shoot a stage clean, all head shots.
Don’t forget to practice slow fire at 25 yards. I find that a lot of youngsters never even attempt 25 yards. “What?” I had one guy say. “Can you hit that far away?”
When I started shooting that was the closest target!
Ditto. The 25 yard shots are the Crash and Burn of many in IDPA.
I know. I have to go to the indoor range for that. The practice bay at the outdoor range is only 50 feet deep.
