Shot my first multigun match with my new-to-me SCAR-17 today. It's as I received it with the exception of a Knight's VFG. I wanted to shoot it iron sights and without a rail extension first to see how it does. Works fine! Expect slow movement and slow loading, but if you want to see some footage here you go.

The great thing here is that you're competing. Getting out of your comfort zone. Getting away from sandbags on a concrete bench at a square range. We all don't shoot, scoot, and reload like John Wick. But we can a least try.

One video of competition is worth more than 10,000 posts from a keyboard commando.

Nice.

You shoot the long guns left handed but the pistol right handed. I don't think I've seen that before.

Right handed but left eye dominant. Incidentally, Like Larry Vickers and Hickok45. But Hickok has learned to shoot long guns from his right shoulder and Larry can run either side. I can shoot from my right shoulder okay but my right eye is jacked up. So I don't often.

Same here.

Left eye dominant. Makes transitions easier.

yes. Check udpl.net for schedule and check practiscore and search UDPL for upcoming matches. Usually one handgun/IDPA match monthly and about 4 Multigun matches a year.

When someone tries to kill you, it doesn't matter how they are doing it. You're in mortal danger, and it's time to try to kill them back.

Kill every last one of these goddamned animals. We need a president with balls. We need leadership. We should be carpet bombing these barbarians wherever we find them, and we should be looking for them 24/7. We have to unleash Hell upon them.
