For Q&A: 1. Why didn’t Chris run his HK P30 in the match? 2. You guys getting the Stealth Arms Platypus for review/testing? 3. Planning to do any pistol suppressor videos?

Right. Then try doing it on camera haha

@@1911syndicate Thanks for showing y’all competing. I have been wanting to compete and it has pushed me over the edge to go ahead and sign up today.

Just started USPSA and Steel Challenge in 2023. It reminds me of how lost I felt when I started. I knew I was a good shot, but m😊ving and shooting rocked my world. Any great game allows you to compete at the most basic level, then take a lifetime to master.

Haha that’s exactly how we feel about it. Legit our first time ever doing this. It’s vastly different then how we typically shoot 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ we enjoyed ourselves and thank you for being super kind and supportive 👊🏼👊🏼

It’s a risky move but someone gotta do it

Man thank you that’s very kind of you 👊🏼👊🏼

Thanks man. By the end of the day it felt a lot better than the beginning of the day. Apparently this was not an easy match to begin with

Its easy just find the oldest fattest dude there and copy what he does

Agreed man we had a great time

Yes, but people can easily build very bad habits for self-defense

@zack991 I think if you have trouble separating a uspsa match and a defense situation you should train more before you carry a firearm in public.

Damnit. No one has ever said they are proud of me. 😢😢😢 thanks bro ❤❤❤❤

Agreed man they also have major differences and I see the value in knowing and understanding both 👊🏼👊🏼

@@Chrisblau 👊 🥃

🤙🏻

Hey thank you Ted we appreciate the nice comment and supper and you’re right we had fun which is all that matters

No thank you Thomas 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Thanks dude 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

I think we’ll be at Shootah for about the first half of the day. Maybe a match here and there

Right. It’s like speaking a language. Probably not gonna go good on day 1

Honestly taking a lesson on competitive shooting if you never shot it before is a waste of time. I always tell people, they need to drive in head first and just shoot a match for the first time. And when shooting your first match the main thing you should worry about is not breaking any safety rules. Once you start gaining experience, this is where you start to realize what you need to train on and work on. My very first match in 2021 I sucked, didn’t get any kind of lessons or training, dove in head first and placed in the bottom 20%. Fast forward a 1 1/2 years I’m now a master in USPSA and knocking on the door at making GM at 93% (GM is 95%). The hardest part is actually taking that very first step.

🤙🏻

Them streetz ain’t ready

That was the goal

Hell yeah dude. Hope you get in to it. I’m still thinking about getting into it a little more but we’ll see

Hey thank you dude that’s very kind we had a great time and really enjoyed ourselves. 👊🏼👊🏼

No guts no glory amigo

Looks easy until you do it

Right? He is 2 feet tall and can probably sneak anywhere 😂😂😂 love the guy we were stoked he came out

Baahhaahahah 😂😂😂

Hey that’s true!! I didn’t shoot a no shoot

Damn bro that’s bad ass. Thank you for watching and commenting Jake and I for sure did not get 17th😂

I couldn’t agree with you more due that’s exactly how I feel. Thanks for watching man we had a great time

How is slow better in tactical? It's the still the first good hit on target wins. Acceptable accuracy, the fastest. Just because you move slower doesn't mean "slow" is the goal. They are different skills, flowing through and around positions of cover on the tactical side, patrolling and such, vs agility and pure weapon handling on the USPSA side, but in the tactical world once it's time to make things go boom the entire point is to get the hit that counts before the other guy. In other words...acceptable accuracy, the fastest. This is the excuse every tac timmie makes...that and the "bad habits" killed in the streets mouth diarrhea. Tactics is IS NOT sport, but the sport side of shooting makes you better in every area of tactical shooting since you take those developed skills (agility, gun handling, manipulation, etc) into "the fight" with you.

@@benjaminlanzotti1374 watch combat footage of a gun fight then watch a competition. The two are not the same. Stuff crosses over for sure and fast and accurate is fast and accurate. Comps will obviously make you a better shooter. Tons of for we mil guys shit and train both and they even mention his some guys were good in a combat scenario but melt down at a comp and some are good at comps and average in combat.

@@Chrisblau LoL are you serious? One...I don't have to watch anything. I served...and taught marksmanship to warfighters LITERALLY. On and off deployments. I've lived "combat footage" and know the difference. I never said they were the same...did you even read my comment? "Slow" is a manner of approach...of course it's going to be slower since we aren't on the flat range anymore. You are MOVING DIFFERENTLY, with a totally different perspective. My entire point is that shooting competition regularly gives you a better skillset that you TAKE INTO that different approach, IE when it's time to shoot and make things go boom you are more capable in almost everything that matters outside the specifics of your TTPs. "Slow is better in tactical" is not an actual point...which is why I replied to the guy. The tactical approach IS SLOWER, but that's a result of the approach, not the point or goal. Competition gives you a MORE CAPABLE tactical shooter period. A seasoned competitor is going to a better gun handler in the majority of circumstances, and produce acceptable accuracy, faster. That is the goal of a winning competition shooter...and it's the point of gunfighting. Acceptable accuracy the fastest.

@@benjaminlanzotti1374 you are 100% correct I misunderstood your comment. I agree with what you said and my bad for misunderstanding 👊🏼

😂😂😂 we had a very good time haha. But yes we were almost dead last 😂😂😂

Mission accomplished no DQ

Holy shit that’s wild. I guess that what it probably takes to get to that level though right 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

@@Chrisblau “Winners practice until they get it perfect. Champions practice until they can’t get it wrong.”

No kidding. I was done after 2 dry runs haha

Who gets to walk the stage 80 times?

Hey we didn’t get DQ-ed. mission accomplished

Truthfully not getting DQ-ed was the main thing we cared about.

That’s what it is all about at the end of the day isn’t it 👊🏼

Right 😂😂😂 as long as I don’t get DQ then it’s a win for me

Ton of thinking. I like to think a viewer could tell the shooting wasn’t the problem. It’s the thinking game of it all

😂😂😂 right?

@@Chrisblau hit those local matches so you’re actually competitive and have fun

@@jonnytestnj2668 yeah we’ll see dude. This was a major match so I feel a local non major would be more fun and be more competitive. It’s just the time required man 🤷🏻‍♂️

At this point I doubt we know enough to even steer that convo on comp rigs

🍻

Thanks Ernie and thanks for watching 👊🏼

Yep

Also the only person I was worried about beating was my buddy… which I did.

Lol

Clearly far to complicated for me 😂😂😂 Jake performed much better

Good question

Haha thanks dude 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Hey thank you Rick that’s very kind of you 👊🏼👊🏼

I agree 100% with this comment dude. You explained that well thank you for watching and commenting 👊🏼

Hey thank you man that’s what it’s all about and I agree 100% with everything you said. Thanks for the support and thanks for watching

Thanks and as funny as it sounds, add the pressure of filming you first day of a new sport

Especially this one. 10 stages, 350 rounds

Do it 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Dude. All the GMs kept saying that 😂😂😂

Yessir. We didn’t know haha

They were dry and dirty. After two stages we did a quick clean and no problems

We went straight into the fire

It’s how we roll

Hahaha truth

😂😂😂 exactly dude
