Is there no official competition video thread? If not maybe this should be the one.

This thread has been around for a while but never gotten a lot of traction. Maybe it should become a sticky?

Should we just flood it with videos? Just jump start it like a defib?

[gesundheit]

Not flood it but post a few vids every week to get the interest going.

P.S. Now I have to made a video to see where my trigger finger is doing reloads during matches.

[jrygrim]

lol, I thought there was no way that I screwed that up that bad, but he got me a little paranoid.

He apologized though, no harm no foul.

Being a range officer at my competition club, first thing I did when I saw this thread was to review the video. You had good form and are doing exactly what every range officer wants to see, finger is not only out of trigger guard, but it is above the trigger guard clamped to the frame. This allows daylight to be seen through the trigger guard and that makes it much easier on the range officer who is supposed to keep an eye on things like that.

I am amazed by what I see lotsa' folks calling "finger out of trigger guard". A lot of competitors just pull it out a bit and hover it kinda crooked just outside the trigger guard. I hate seeing that, makes my job harder AND does not satisfy the requirement properly from a complete safety perspective IMHO.

A gun will only go off if the trigger is actuated, if your finger is anywhere near being able to be accidentally pushed back onto the trigger by inadvertent activity, then you are in danger of an AD if something unexpected happens.

I firmly believe your finger has no business being in the trigger guard unless you are actually indexed on an array of targets. Rules say you can move 1.5 steps without taking finger off the trigger, I feel better myself when I pop my finger out and snap it to the frame above trigger guard whenever I am putting myself onto a new target array or port, etc...

Shooting on the move is another story, but this is where the 1.5 steps rule comes into play.

That post seems to have disappeared?

Even though Glocks are smart guns, don't let it tell you when to reload. Slide locked is always bad (except well in IDPA where they have the weird rule about it).

I used to post videos of me and my crew from Norco Running Gun every week or so, but there just isn't that much interest. Competitive shooters are a very, very small fraction of the overall gun population.

Thank you sir. I am overly zealous about that kind of stuff, so I found it hard to believe that I screwed up that bad. I'm glad that an experienced person as yourself complimented my form. Thank you again.

Yeah he took it off and sent me a PM saying sorry, stand up guy.

It was a jam, I think that I accidentally put 11 in a mag. I have one mag that fits 11 fairly easily, doesn't work but if you're not counting when you put it in your rounds you're going to have problems like me.

i used to live in NORCO! I wish I could've been in your crew

So...flood it?

[jrygrim]

Here's a match from two months ago.

[jrygrim]

Latest match

[Brian1979]

You rocked that steel. Good shooting and good movement!

I think most people "think" they could shoot a star but never have. Its fun to watch the first time around.

[jrygrim]

Yeah I've met a few people like that, can't say I felt that way at all when I first took the plate. Thanks!

[shooter777]

great vids. keep em coming. I think the POV go pro style of filming helps transport the viewer into the activity. some upbeat music doesn't hurt.

[jrygrim]

Thanks dude.

The go pro definitely helps engage the viewer the only problem is they're kind of a dime a dozen right now, especially with action sports. I had a video up a little while back and they're happened to be a few people filming me during a stage and they were kind enough to send me the footage, I managed to piece together three different cameras fluidly for one stage it looked very smooth.

I'd like to start recording other awesome shooters in the area and cut them together some reels. Not a big fan of being the center of attention or acting like some fn rockstar.

update took first overall wohoo!

[rmatt]

Ive been shooting a pistol (at all) for less than a year. I started shooting idpa in sept last year. I shoot SSP, sharpshooter. Here is my latest vid.

idpa last weekend at pala

[lolkopter]

this is a great idea. I want to get into competition shooting and appreciate seeing vids of calgunners

[rdawg]

Post videos with useful info please.

The date of the shoot, What range/club and where its located.
How about the make model of the gun and the ammo being used.

When I see a nice gun or a cool range I like to know more about them.
Videos without that info seems missing a lot of info that useful.

[Tumbleweed.13]

My first USPSA competition is next sunday. I should have a GoPro camera for the even and will post the video up afterwards.

[balmo]

Richmond on the 7th. I am taking the class at USI on the 6th.

Those particular vids are not meant to inform but entertain.

I have others that are meant to inform and not necessarily entertain.

I'm not going to show a match video and spend time on the equipment and the location where people basically turn off the vid in 30 seconds or less. I had about 5 of those on my channel and it took over a year for all of them to get to 100 views and the audience retention was terrible. So the information wasn't getting out there regardless. So I usually put equipment breakdowns in the video description and I don't bother with the location because no one needs to know where I am.

Here is my video from this weekend in Richmond. This was my first match ever. Only goal for the event was to not get a DQ. So with that not happening all in all for my first match I did ok. Sorry don't know how to embed the video into the post.

We need to keep this thread alive. I've been MIA due to one bs excuse after another. I'm getting back into shooting shape and getting my stuff together and plan on posting more stuff soon. Lets get some other comp vids in during the mean time.
