This was my first IDPA competition, I was super nervous but in the end I took 8th place in my division Cory placed 1st and 1st overall. I have some improving to do, but I will most certainly be doing more of these.

Sounds like a great range officer! Really on top of everything going on with the shooter, and all their surroundings. Nice that all his comments and instructions, were picked up in the video too. Nice shooting.

I noticed that, too. He seemed really helpful, and willing to answer questions. I still get apprehensive when dealing with RSOs, because of bad experience.

Good job clearing that FTE, you're getting better. Keep practicing your draws, that's the only thing slowing you up. Also, when you clean your pistol, take some Flitz and polish the chamber and feedramp, should help clear up those sticky cases. Hope to see you on the range

Erika, I have followed you and Cory from your first video. My daughter is 20 years old and so you two are about the same age. I could not be more proud of your accomplishments if you were my own daughter. I know your parents, brother and Cory must busting with pride. I also shoot IDPA. I wish you all the best and be safe.

Your grip and recoil control seems excellent. Seated the mag nicely too. Surprised to see that one stage shooting far to close instead of the proper close to far with IDPA. I'm working on keeping the gun high in my workspace during reloads. Very impressed, good luck!

Excellent video detailing the courses of fire in an IDPA competition and I am glad to see you performed well for your first outing. Of concern, however, was what appeared to be no less than four malfunctions which required remedial action to clear on that Glock 17. Did you determine if this was ammo, magazine, shooter, or modification derived?

nice job Erica. Odd starting positions, the IDPA rulebook says you have to start with hands relaxed at sides, and there was very little shooting from behind cover. Once you relax, you will be amazing these fellows, you are fast

Nice shooting. Erica, have you ever tried doing a tactical reload by first going for the fresh magazine? try holding the fresh mag (close to the base of the magazine) between your pointer finger and middle finger while doing that use your thumb/palm and ring finger(same hand) to remove/hold the used mag from the gun with both magazines in same hand place the fresh mag into the gun and then place the used mag into your magazine carrier. you'll have less time without mag in gun ready to shoot.
@amateurhobbyist11 жыл бұрын
Sometimes, you have "reloads w/ retention" as part of the match, meaning the mag are not out of ammo, but you are required to switch mags. You always retain mags that have ammo remaining.

good shooting! You should take a vid of your skills now if you are still shooting comps. I find it easier to stow mags during tac reloads for IPDA in cargo pockets, while perhaps less becoming, baggier clothing will provide some better functionality if you decide to go for speed!

You're losing time getting to the holster under your short. Can you tuck them into your pants so you get more streamlined or is there some sort of carry & conceal stipulation with this competition?
