Making Progress. 3rd in Limited Optics from Concealment.

This video argues that all concealed carriers should participate in competitive shooting to significantly improve their defensive capabilities. The instructor, a concealed carry instructor and occasional competitor, highlights that most concealed carriers lack advanced skills due to insufficient training beyond permit classes. Competition offers a practical environment to develop crucial skills like shooting under stress, moving and shooting, engaging targets at distance, and making complex decisions, effectively serving as a 'practice gunfight' that better prepares individuals for real-world threats.

This video documents the speaker's experience at their first official PCSL (Practical Competition Shooting League) match at Rooftop Shooting in Trenton, Texas. The speaker, initially fatigued, navigates five stages, offering insights into PCSL rules, scoring, and pace compared to IDPA and USPSA. Key takeaways include the importance of speed, the 'tango part' target bonus, and the practical application of gear choices like higher-capacity magazines. The speaker provides a stage-by-stage breakdown, including times, hit factors, and personal reflections on performance, highlighting the sport's demanding yet rewarding nature.

This video details a USPSA Limited Optics setup centered around the CZ Shadow 2 pistol. The presenter, an experienced shooter who has reached B class, outlines specific modifications including an 11lb guide rod spring, Cajun trigger, Lok Grip panels, and an Armory Craft magwell. He also discusses the Vortex Defender XL optic, its durability, and provides insights into the pros and cons of the CZ Shadow 2, such as its weight, ergonomics, and safety placement. The video includes a giveaway for a Vortex Defender ST optic and emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance, especially for magazines.

This guide details a competitive shooting stage technique demonstrated by Alyssa Seymour, focusing on efficient draw, movement between shooting positions, rapid target engagement with both steel and cardboard targets, and a dynamic reload while moving. The technique emphasizes smooth transitions and maintaining control for optimal performance in USPSA events. Instruction from an experienced competitor highlights key aspects of stage execution.

This guide details techniques for competitive shooting in USPSA matches, drawing from an experienced hobbyist's second match. It covers improving draw speed from concealment, aggressive movement between stages, shot confidence to avoid make-up shots, and proper grip/recoil management. The advice emphasizes learning from competition to identify and address weaknesses for overall performance enhancement.

This guide details advanced techniques for executing a USPSA stage using a Kimber 2k11 pistol, as demonstrated by an experienced shooter. It covers drawing, target engagement, dynamic movement, and efficient reloads, emphasizing the use of a red dot optic for speed and accuracy. The instruction highlights the practical application of competition-specific gear and skills in a dynamic shooting environment.

This video demonstrates a high-level Bill Drill from concealment, executed by Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project in an impressive 1.91 seconds. It highlights the importance of a clean draw stroke, effective recoil management, and precise trigger control when shooting a red-dot equipped handgun. The drill emphasizes speed and accuracy at close range, showcasing advanced shooting techniques.

This guide, based on instruction from expert Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project, debunks the myth that a high bore axis on pistols like the Sig Sauer P320 inherently leads to uncontrollable recoil. It emphasizes that proper recoil management is primarily achieved through effective support hand engagement and grip, rather than being dictated by the bore axis height or beavertail design. The video demonstrates that with correct technique, firearms often criticized for their bore axis can shoot remarkably flat.

Scott Jedlinski, demonstrating high authority and expertise, emphasizes the critical role of the support hand in recoil control. Through live-fire demonstrations, he illustrates how a proper support hand grip, positioned high and applying inward pressure, significantly reduces muzzle flip, even surpassing the firing hand's contribution. This technique is crucial for advanced shooters seeking to maintain a flat shooting platform.

This guide details a training drill focused on improving red dot acquisition during the firearm draw, as instructed by Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project. It emphasizes correcting inefficient movements and building subconscious competence through high-speed practice and self-analysis. The drill is designed for intermediate shooters looking to enhance their speed and accuracy with red dot optics.
