All right so on my wall is a idpa state match2004 plaque for 2nd place… stock service pistol. I remember very clearly getting beat by a young guy with long hair shooting a beretta. I also remember looking at him and shaking his hand and telling him he was a bigger sandbagged than me….. sorry. I would like to take a class with my son..

I believe it. You obviously have some talent for shooting, plus starting out at 20 is a definite advantage. I started out at 55, and I am 60 now. Plus I am over weight and out of shape, so getting better is difficult. Plus I'm on the geriatric squad, so that isn't helping. I still have fun, but I'm still in the D class. I'm hoping to move up to C class this year, but it's going to take some work. Your videos show a lot of areas that I need to work on, so I appreciate what you are doing. Thank You!

@@DefZen343 So you're saying I'm better than Ben? Lol jk. The shooters in IPSC/USPSA haven't changed much from the 2004s to 2024. Even in the 80s you had guys who would run circles around most shooters around today, guys like Brian Enos were doing .10 splits while I feel like I'm stuck at .20. Yeah the competition is a little stiffer now simply due to way more competitors, but the top guys have always hovered around what peak human performance can do. The major change that's happened throughout the years was probably red dots on slides, and the only thing that's done is change scores from 11.5 seconds to 11 (referring to steel challenge). Maybe in another few years we'll see a massive influx of steroids and other performance enhancing drugs with a big focus on training physicality, but that would only increase scores marginally. But for the moment shooter skill hasn't changed much since the 80s, shooting isn't hard to do or understand, it's just most people aren't willing to put in the time to practice the fundamentals that will get you to a high level. I remember watching an old video of trick shooters that seemed to be as far back as the 50s (perhaps further) where a guy was shooting coins out of the sky with a 38 special revolver from the hip, and another aspirins out of the air with a 22lr rifle. A feat even a guy like Ben would have trouble with. Point is good shooting has been around for a long time.

That laugh followed by "..... that's not true". Also, nothing makes me feel more like a clown than hearing how little the top guys shoot. I'm shooting 10kish a year (barely a year in to practical shooting), and I'll see M and GM guys at matches talk about shooting 5k-7k a year. Shows how much more precision I need in my training!

Eh who cares? You're having fun shooting right? Shooting is hella fun. I go shooting every weekend and I love it. The range is my happy place. I think I'm gonna try my hand at USPSA/IDPA. I kinda wanna get into the limited optics division but I gotta get a decent 2011 first. I just like those guns. To start with though I think I'm gonna shoot either my Canik Rival or my G17 in Carry Optics.

My experience has been the opposite. Most of the M and GMs I know and see at matches, and on social media, often shoot way more than they let on or they’re just open about doing a ton of live fire. Some of the same instructors I see preaching how live fire is only to “validate” your dry fire and you don’t need to shoot live fire much will then be the same guys that post another video talking about how they’ve put 15k rounds through a single gun in the span of a year. And they have multiples of the same gun that all somehow get thousands of rounds put through them. So they’re either lying about high round counts or they are vastly understating the amount of live fire they actually do.

As a person who has experienced competitive pool players over the years, talent (or natural aptitutde...whatever you want to call it)is certainly a thing as well. I have seen guys come into the pool hall and shoot drills for hours everyday over years and improve but very slowly. Contrasting that, occassionaly a kid comes in (I say kid but 21) and starts hitting balls as a beginner...6 months later they are top 10 in the area. Some people just absorb certain skills much more rapidly than others. Not sure why. And no they aren't some secret pros beforehand...I have known some personally.

I'm gonna try my hand at USPSA this year, maybe IDPA too. The gun club I'm a member of hosts all sorts of matches. I wish 2 gun was more popular because I really am not interested in 3 gun. I just don't wanna have to deal with a shotgun. I also wanna shoot my rifle suppressed in matches. I don't know how common that is or if it'll even work. I know a lot of timers fail to pickup suppressed ARs.
@piouswhale
@piouswhale 11 ай бұрын
Correct about suppressors and timers. I really enjoy the 2 gun style that incorporates drills and things like armored divisions. The 2 gun matches that are just USPSA matches with a rifle dont interest me that much. Much prefer to have less emphasis on fast and furious competitive and more focus on the practical applications and getting better with a realistic kit.

Not to take away from anyone’s notable accomplishments, but GM in 5K rounds is only possible if you’re very gifted or maybe the standards changed. If it only took 5k rounds there’d be a lot more GMs than there are now. Plenty of people have over 4x that round count and are training seriously. It’s impressive either way, but don’t go out thinking you can dry fire a bunch, not shoot much live fire, and become a GM relatively quickly. For most people that doesn’t happen.

20’s? 2004??? Damn I’m old… Kudos on the skill and hard work. Curious thought. I understand your personality, it’s similar to mine. But, if you hadn’t advanced so quickly within USPSA, perhaps, over time you would’ve been more inured to its machinations and less aware of the issues. The rapid rise let you see the state of organization from more of an outsider looking in rather than someone with his head down grinding through the trenches, working their way up. Then just taking it as it is. This coming from someone who loves to shoot and does so weekly but has only shot 4 Steel Challenge matches, over a year ago. Competition is fun but not my jam.
