I haven't posted any match videos here for awhile since they mostly get posted on other forms of social media so I thought I'd share one. I am really digging shooting the P320 X5 in competition and with a few aftermarket parts I've got mine up to 41 oz which helps the gun shoot flatter and softer. Have about a month to get some practice in for Nationals down in Florida. Video from last weekends Area 4 Championship in Van Buren, Arkansas Link to original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUnVbtSRUE8 | ||

Nice!! I am subbed to your channel but didn't have notifications on. Great job. I will be shooting the x5 in production at Nationals!! I shot a classifier match Sunday and hopefully made b class. classifier match 320x5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l5fEh4Wve0 p229Extreme/P226Tac-Ops/P226 Extreme/P226 SAO) P226 X-5 Blue Moon/P226 X-5 Black and White | |||

Nice shooting! Picked up a 320 X5+Romeo1 earlier this year and have now transitioned to it exclusively for IPSC competition - it's a great combo that's working out really well. ________________________ Sic transit gloria mundi Canadian Coast Guard - Retired | |||

I subbed to your channel as well. Good luck on achieving B-Class in Production. B-Class is where the rubber starts hitting the road and it certainly takes some commitment to rise into A-Class. I am sitting at 72% in Carry Optics right now and with the recent changes to classifier numbers it is going to take a bunch of work to hit 75% and cross over into A-Class. The top B-Class shooter from last weekends match finished 12th overall for the entire match and beat several Grand Masters so the classifications are not perfect. I'll be shooting the PM/AM/PM schedule at Optics Nationals next month so if you see me on the range stop by and say "Hi". I always like meeting my imaginary Facebook and Sigforum friends. Good luck at Nats. | |||

Luigi is a notorious sandbagger. So notorious that I posted this without even verifying that he is the one you are talking about. _________________________________________ I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew... | |||

 You are a smart man.The guy that took second B had a series of really low classifiers and 1 100% as well. I thought the biggest gamers were in golf. | |||

I started with a first gen Romeo 1 and just didn't like the size and brightness of the dot. I have moved onto the Vortex lines on all of my stuff and couldn't be happier. | |||

First RDS for me so nothing to compare to, but mine is a Gen5 version and no issues personally with dot size (3MOA) or brightness, even on sunny days. Good luck with the Nationals! ________________________ Sic transit gloria mundi Canadian Coast Guard - Retired | |||

All that speed and time sure puts you in some awkward looking shooting positions. Seems like shuffling the feet from target to target, sometimes all the body weight on right foot, sometimes all on the left and the right is above ground. If you didnt stop in time, you'd lose your balance. Just an observation. All good shooting sir. | |||

This is one of the reasons why I've switched to having someone record stages from behind instead of using a POV camera like a GoPro. That and the whole sponsor thing. POV only shows what you are looking at. It doesn't show footwork, if you are overshooting positions and missed opportunities for speed. If you look at the stage with the 4 pieces of steel, the swinger and drop turner I wasted at least 2 seconds standing there waiting for the drop turner to drop. If I would have used that time to shoot the swinger instead of waiting for the drop turner I would have finished much higher on that stage. The game is purely how many points can you score per second and in order to accomplish that you need to be moving from position to position quickly and that means shooting on the way in and on the way out and if possible on the way to the next shooting position. Standing around shooting at targets is wasted time. Taking full strides between positions is typically what gets people in trouble with being out of control because they overshoot their next position even though a couple of mine looked out of control. I shot 93.29% of the available points and had one Mike and one No-Shoot with an adjusted percentage of 91.90%. Not bad for an old pudgy guy. | |||

Heck, I thought you shot good. It is a fast pace of a match. BTW, I used to get to Van Buren often as my companies main terminal was there. Wish I could have watched your video on a monitor. | |||

The biggest gamers are in USPSA B class. Luigi is a master level shooter... he seems to only shoot majors and shoots a lot of different divisions... probably not fair to call him a sand bagger as I don't know that he tanks classifiers, it's just hard to match bump with the current rule set and B class was a pretty difficult class to get out of, imo. _________________________________________ I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew... | |||

Thank you! I did make b class but know it's going to be a lot of work to get to A class. I hope to see you there! p229Extreme/P226Tac-Ops/P226 Extreme/P226 SAO) P226 X-5 Blue Moon/P226 X-5 Black and White | |||

I just looked and they have Luigi shooting on the Carry Optics Super Squad for Nationals. If they recognize his ability in this way then they need to take his B classification away from him as well. | |||

| Member |
He's not of that level, to be honest. Probably more a reflection of a lack of heat in the division than anything else. ETA: He finished 12th last year, generally top 16 is super squad for the following year... I believe is the case. He shot 83% of Max. The guys shooting carry optics that you would think would be in the super squad aren't because they didn't shoot Optics Nats last year or because they are shooting Open or pcc instead this year. _________________________________________ I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew... | |||
