I don't see any other super squad guys putting up free full match videos with commentary. You're a legend, my friend. Top-tier content!

Thanks for the super detailed debrief on the stages. As a newer USPSA shooter I find these debriefs super helpful in diagnosing my own videos and issues.

[@ipsc-guru]

Thanks for making and sharing these type of breakdown videos. always good and interesting to learn from excellent shooters like youtself!

You are an Artist...

[@jamesdomenico2953]

Mason, on the stage you discussed using confirmation 2.5 have you given any consideration lighting playing a possible part in not picking the fiber to allow hitting steel efficiently? Or was it completely a confirmation thing? I heard lighting played a part in picking up the fiber during the match. That last stage was considerably darker than the previous ones. Also, thank you for the break downs. It helps me better break down my own videos.

[@masonlane2030]

In order to hit steel with total reliability you need to use front site shape to check alignment and not just color. Lighting is a more sensitive subject with irons and fibers but overall I was just trying to get away with much too little confirmation IMO. Grain of salt: I’m arguably a little wiser (in terms of shooting) now 8-9 months later

Thanks a lot Mason! Maybe you van talk a little bit slower? My English is not so bad but sometimes it is hard for me to follow. I learn so much from your Match reviews. From my point of view i got the impression that you win the Matches with your foot and legs instead of your gun👍🏻😃

[@masonlane2030]

I will bear it in mind, I don’t script these things, I truly watch each vid once or twice then get to work editing. I agree largely with your assessment, to be in the top 5% or so you have to have pretty fantastic shooting fundamentals and silky movement. He with the best balance of both generally wins the match

Not to sound ignorant but what do you mean by "shooting confirmation 3, 2.5 or 2"?

[@kenwickes2497]

Shooting confirmation 1 is no sight picture, letting it rip just pointing gun. Confirmation 3 is hard sight confirmation for hard shots. The rest is in between with less sight picture confirm. A 2 is seeing the sight just cross onto the target/spot.

[@masonlane2030]

Ken is pretty much right. Refers to level of sight confirmation to ensure the shot goes where your aiming. 1 is essentially point shooting where you don’t need sights to be successful. 2 is seeing the sight still flashing, usual lit vertically, and is similarly used for easy or low risk shots 3 is seeing a still, circular dot or totally still front sight. 2.5 is sort of hybrid vernacular meaning the dot is pretty much round, not a streak, but isn’t totally still.
