2023 Pan-American Extreme Open - IPSC - 3rd Place Production Optics - Shadow 2 - SRO

This was my first ever IPSC match. There was a good bit of stuff different from my usual USPSA, but at the end of the day practical shooting is practical shooting. Additionally, this was my first match for the year so there was still some rust that had to be knocked off but overall I'm happy with the 3rd place finish.
After the match we had a Super Six Shoot off which was a lot of fun as well. I ended up winning the shoot off against some other great competitors. For fun some of the competitors and I decide to shoot strong hand and weak hand for some of the rounds.
