Video of the West Virginia State IDPA Championship - the 2024 Panhandle Putdown. An awesome match with 12 great stages including a nice little shoothouse stage.
Shooting a Ruger GP100 Match Champion .38/.357 revolver using .38 special in the REV/SS division/classification for this match.
Had a nice clean match - no PEs, no non-threats, no misses but it was not enough to get a win.
It was very humid early on so other revolvers and I had some empty case extraction issues but those cleared up pretty quickly on the day.
The real issues were three mental errors that cost me - Stages 5, 8, and 12.
Stage 5 - did not need the extra shot makeup, should have kept going.
Stage 8 - started to step out before engaging all targets from the fault line, realized it, bumped barrel, stepped back.
Stage 12 - I had a great stage plan, but things were a tiny bit different than I expected, so I had to engage the targets a little differently and got lost on what targets had been engaged and what had not. Stopped, ran back, checked, then moved forward again.
Hancock County WV Sportsman's Association is a fantastic club that hosts a wonderful match. The stages were lots of fun and great tests of skill. The grounds are really nice and of course the food was amazing. They run monthly matches - if you are up in the northwestern panhandle of WV - give them a look!
