Carry Gun Match December 18 - Heartland Outdoors

[shootingbuff]

Not trying to high-jack the thread, but David new gear, and I din't get to see it? Good thing, or I may have had something new on my Christmas list for the big man :a035: How about some pics and a write up? If you want an unbiased opion I could use that holster for a couple of matches and give feedback.

I had a great time watching last night, and believe me, the next match Ill be coming with my holster on. I really appreciate everyone helping my wife out and encouraging her, Ive been trying to get her out to shoot for a while and she kept saying she wasnt ready, but she finally gave in and you guys made it a great experience. I look forward to shooting with you guys again soon!

if we are going to have a match new years day, we need to get an announcement up ASAP

I've asked Burk to make the announcement, as I'm on my phone. Hard to copy and paste.

Also, I thought the "Wrong Side" shooters would be scored separately?

I won't be shooting lefty anymore for matches. wowza's I did horribly.

 

[David E]

But you took up the challenge and I'll bet you even learned a few things.

I shot strong hand only and I know I learned a lot!

 

[Matt1911]

Very true. I did learn a few things that I probably needed to know.

David, great match! I really did enjoy the wrong side challenge last night as it showed just how lame standard weak side practice is without some movement. While I did better than I thought I would it still felt all wrong and the timing was off. I kept having stupid little thoughts like "don't drop the gun" and "where did the front sight go" going through my head for the first couple of stages but the last stages felt "more normal" almost like I was starting over again. We should do this again some time.

I have to agree with Wes. First couple of stages were what is going on this isnt right. Nothing like learning to adapt on the fly. The last two stages I think I kept up and did well though, but far from shooting strong side free style.
Yes we should do this again and I hope I have a quality holster by then though that old Fobus served well considering it was what was on hand.
