USPSA Marysville Aug 2015 - Open Division Match Win!
Today's stages were fun with lots of interesting angles and shots. While I took the match win by the skin of my teeth, I wasn't very happy with my performance. I felt very uneasy shooting these stages and was inefficient with my movements.

What a sunny day to shoot! First time this year getting to shoot in shorts and lathering on sun block. It was a fun match, I tried pushing hard on the classifier but... well you can see it for yourself :)

Finally have a few months of not shooting during the off season, I'm back at the range. It's rough as I haven't been very diligent at dry firing at home. At least I got to pull off a 2nd place performance. Great day for shooting I have to say. Excited for the rest of the 2015 season.

I was mentally more sound for this match, no crappy no-shoots or mikes and edged out a decent performance. Too many extra shots though, it looks like I definitely need more shooting-on-the-move practice.
The classifier was a first for me. Never seen that shot ever, even on youtube.

Lots the match by 6 match points, it all came down to the one mike in the last stage as I was transitioning off an easy target. Congrats to Nick to staying in it and beating me.

3rd match of the year. After my previous disastrous matches, I made it a point to do some dry-fire practice at home. It paid off, that and the weather played a part too, it was beautiful and warm. Only thing about this match was the horrible last stage where I lost 40 match points just on that one stage alone. It basically screwed up a match win.

I found this old roll of film buried deep in the berm in one of the bays in the Renton Fish and Game Club and processed it. To my surprise, it's a 100 year old film recording of a shooting match shot with, then brand new, 1911s in 45 ACP. Unbelievable!

This year, Area One was held in a brand new range built by Giordano Ventures down in Winnemucca, Nevada. To tell the truth, when I first heard of this place, I was skeptical that it would be a good match, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm so glad I was wrong.
The team built this range specifically for multi-bay matches and the layout is just super effective. There were so much parking space and the bays were built around the parking area, which means competitors don't have to walk far to get to their assigned bays. There were 15 bays in total with space to build 6 more. (if I'm not mistaken)
There's also a huge practice bay that's not considered part of the match, so as long as you're safe and courteous to those around you, you can do what you want.
I think the team deserves some recognition for putting this match up. I know they'd want to take a break for a bit, but I'll definitely be back to this range again someday soon when they're ready to host another major.
