2024 USPSA Area 8 Championship Jacob Hetherington

I placed 2nd in carry optics at this match.
I struggled to get into the groove at this match and with two big failure to extracts I couldn’t pull of the win.
This match had outstanding stages and was a blast to shoot.

Looks like a great match. I'll have to put it on the list for next year.

What caused the malfunctions?

[@JacobHetherington]

I was shooting 124 gr ammo at this match at 1080 fps. I use a 9lbs recoil spring and for slower 147 gr ammo I have never had any issues. With the faster ammo the extractor with a brand new factory spring couldn’t hold onto the case to extract it. With the case left in the chamber the next live round would feed into the back of it. To fix it I need to run a heavier recoil spring or get an extra power extractor spring.
