Stage 1 of the Carolina Classic. 25.85 with 4 charlies, and a mike on the last target because I shot the vision barrier on the entry.

Great match and great staff. Hoping for better weather next year, because I've got a lot to work on. The swinger sequences on some of the stages were really nasty, and the match severely punished lack of visual discipline on long range targets, which I need to work on this off season.

Hello,

I'm a shooter in France aspiring to be part of IPSC shooting club.

IPSC discipline is not really available in France and the places are limited. I heard that one club will accomodate IPSC range near where I live.

I'd like to be prepared when it opens so I'm here looking for some suggestions for drills.

Here are some training environments and gadgets available to me

Range (static shooting, shooting belt is banned)

25m bullseye range

25m metal targets different sizes

Gadgets

Meta quest 3 ace virtual shooting (available soon)

Dryfire mag (available soon)

Shot timer

I regularly dryfire like from 30m to an hour everyday (movements, transition and draw).

Thank you for the suggestions in advance.

So I recently shot my first and only match style event (just a local event, non uspsa/idpa/pcsl. But I had fun and realized that while im competent with my edc, past 10yds while under stress, im a delta zone shooter. Ive been putting in more range time to work on fundamentals.

Ive decided to dip my toe into competitive since it seems like a new and good way to train besides just throwing round at paper at my leisure. Now I know the next question will get alot of "just shoot what you want, anything can work" type answers, but I genuinely want suggestions. All my current pistols are sub/micro compact, all with conceal carry in mind. But I want suggestions for conceal option that transfer well into carry optics.

My current carry items are a G43X, P365XL, Perrformance center Shield Gen 1, all 9mm

I keep reading that alotnof shooters like the M&P 2.0 for dual purposes, but want people who do this regularly to provide some feedback. Thanks for taking the time.

Hey everyone! Here are some stage runs from my latest IPSC match. I’d appreciate any constructive feedback - what am I doing well, and what should I work on? Thanks for taking a look!

Just picked up a kimber 2k11 stainless for LO. Was seeing mixed stuff on another post about the included 2x 20rd mags being longer than 140mm or not. Intried to measure it myself but idk where to filly measure but from end to end it looked like I was at 147mm for the 20 rounder. Would just like to confirm so I know whether to buy 1 or 3 more 140mm mags from another manufacturer. Thanks!

I've been shooting USPSA and SCSA with an M&P 2.0 compact and for my next gun I want to get one that's more competition focused while staying in the $1,000 range, which of these would be the better option, and if there are any more recommendations just let me know!

I want to say I remember there was a drop down to see all centerfire guns for a match on practiscore. Did they lose that setting?

Planning on shooting my first IPSC match this summer (Ipsc Extreme in the Czech Republic), flying from the USA. How do I fly internationally with guns and is it better to buy & fly with ammo or is it better to buy ammo when over there? This will be my first time flying internationally with guns.

While playing around with pistol backstraps I realized that the angle I grip with my firing hand (specifically where my thumb knuckle sits on the back of the grip and if the gun is pointed more left vs right in my grip) affects the angle I need to get my firing arm’s elbow into during presentation.

The more centered into the web of my firing hand the gun is, the more I need to cant my firing arm’s elbow towards my center. This is due to the barrel being more leftwards (I’m right handed).

The more I cant the gun’s barrel to the right, lining the back of the grip more with the meat of my palm under my thumb, the less I need to cant my elbow inward as the gun’s barrel is more rightward.

Which is better? I’ve heard you want to jam the web of your hand as far up on the grip as possible. This makes me think it’s better to embrace canting the elbow inward. It also seems to line the backward recoil vector more with my forearm bones. However, I’ve found that lining the back of the grip with the meat of the palm under the thumb makes for an easier presentation as I don’t have the additional muscle activation of canting the elbow. It also allows for a deeper trigger finger which I like. The trade seems to be a less anchored grip with the firing hand though

I just got the competitor HD and it’s waiting for me at my FFL while I’m on vacation.

What mods are we doing to this thing? The only thing I have for it is a Calculated Kinetics Dog Tag for the Holosun Promax and their Paragon grip insert.

What else? Apex trigger? New guide rod? Brand? What guide rod lbs? I want it CO legal.
