READ: There is no accidental discharge at 8:45, my finger is completely off the trigger, and there is no shell casing ejected from the rifle, because the rifle did not fire... it's science. There is some glitch in the video that looks like a flash or reflection of light--- some people are mistaking it for a muzzle flash, but it's just a glitch. Read the first sentence again.
Another challenging 3Gun match is in the books! Duskin 3Gun at Fort Bragg was some serious work! This match was scored “time plus” i.e. your raw time, plus time added for penalties and poor marksmanship on paper (aka points down). An A-zone hit was zero time added, a C-zone hit was .5 second added, and a D-zone hit was 1.5 seconds added. Also, leaving any grease ring whatsoever on the edge of a no-shoot (white paper) even if you didn’t break the perf was considered a full penalty. So accuracy mattered! At most 3Gun matches you can hose 2 shots anywhere on paper, but here, getting all A’s is crucial so I had to aim harder and go a little slower than I would have under a different scoring system. Things to work on for next year: building my upper body strength to improve my spider monkey skill set, and HIIT (High-intensity interval training) to increase my stamina & strength, as each stage was about 1-2.5 minutes long and I was gassing out intermittently. I finished 49th out of 171 people in the Tac Ops division at 67% of division winner, but there was no Lady category at this match so it’s unclear how many women shot it. This was a match unlike any other with a majority of the shooters being active duty military. Please check out the Duskin and Stephens Foundation to see the good work they do in the Special Operations Community. The Duskin 3Gun match honors the life and passion for competitive shooting of “Big Mike” Duskin, killed in action on 23 October 2012. The foundation supports the families of fallen members of Special Operations Forces, and provides scholarship to children of active duty personnel in several SOF communities. I can’t thank the RO’s enough for using their vacation time to work the match!!!
