Competitions Explained Part 2: USPSA Scoring

In this video I break down how USPSA matches are scored. Sorry it took so long, as I was having some computer issues. If you're interested in learning about Major vs Minor power factors, click this link: pistolshooting...

You explained it well

[@DiggyPews]

Thank you 👍Wanted to try and make it where almost anyone could understand and follow along.

Man, how do you check your scoring on those paper targets being already shot up? I can't even see what you're hitting through the GoPro. Does the ref have sights down range?

[@DiggyPews]

They go score the hits after the stage is over up close to the targets. As far as the shooter, you kind of have to trust your aim and know that you hit the shot. Sometimes you can kind of see where you hit, but usually it's just trusting your skill.

at 6:28 can someone tell me how he de cocked the gun while his left hand was on the barrel? He decocked it but cant catch how he did. Thanks

I pulled the hammer back with my right thumb, pulled the trigger with my right index finger, and slowly lowered the hammer with my thumb. I'm actually switching to pinching the hammer with my left thumb and index finger, then pulling the trigger with my right index finger, and lowering the hammer with my left hand. It's a safer way to do it with less chance of the hammer slipping out from under my thumb.

@@DiggyPews Hey thanks for explaining it. I de cock w the other hand and it didnt even occur to me that you were doing it with the right hand. Thanks!

[@DiggyPews]

No worries. That's just how I learned on my dad's old 1911 so it stuck with me. Like I said though I recently switched to the safer way.
