Shot the 2021 TX State IDPA Championship in Carry Optics - for those wondering - two weeks of prep with a platform you're not fluent with isn't enough to gain fluency.

Happy to see the Beretta doing the work for you. The 80’s style music was a nice touch as well.

[@stevesweeney7892]

You are the real deal. You were going for it. At one point you almost went down, it eas awesome recovery and your muzzle was perfect. Nice job! I am impressed🇺🇸

[@bunkey-ed2vc]

Just did my first ever IDPA match today. It was awesome. Really is an amazing experience

[@aaronk5530]

That shoot-move-shoot-reload-shoot sequence at 01:48 = god mode. Coupled with the crisp ASMR of the mag being jammed and slide released with perfect timing on a steel framed gun. Literally looks and sounds like the reload scene when you're playing CS as counter terrorist with a USP. Just signed up for my first IDPA match which is tomorrow!

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

Good luck! It’s a blast!

[@aaronk5530]

@@TheHumbleMarksman Thanks! Just spent 2 hours at the range practicing the classifier, looks like I'm placing into "Sharpshooter" category. Will give myself the year to shoot for master. Please continue putting out good and informative content so I can follow along and get to your level!

WHOA! the video was cool as heck man - I know it took time to put together, syncing it all up. Thanks! Subscribed

[@JustinDavito]

This looks like so much fun!

[@Kevin-kb8gj]

Damn, that was some good shooting, and congrats on the 6th place finish!!!

[@watchmanonthewall2151]

Cool camera work overall and the POV looks like a video game at especially at 2x. Good stuff ✌

[@FingerAngle]

I just started shooting IDPA. I'll do this drill Sunday, and let you know how it goes. Good shooting, sir.

[@Thorax321]

Awesome shooting as always and very cool camera work!

[@benpriester6657]

Well done! Congratulations on your win.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

I was 6th lol - you don’t get to win when you can’t keep the gun running!

[@funkla65]

Ha - was going to say "congrats on the win", too - the stats slide faded before I digested it. Followed you over at Odysee. Overall, their UI seems to be pretty feature rich, but I was getting a bunch of buffering vs here. Sound quality seemed a higher standard; maybe that's contributing to the buffering. Verizon has only been getting one bar of 4G to me lately so the issue could be on my end.

[@arkansasmotorcyclerides6090]

Solid performance!... Be Happy... Thumbs up!

[@gregggibson3109]

Was surprised to see you brandishing the Beretta 92G. I’m guessing an LTT Elite? Brought back memories, nice shooting.

[@Wobbegong_th]

Interesting camera setup. was it a 360deg. camera you placed in the middle of the range? then another one (I guess Insta360 Go2) on your cap, right?

[@NortheastFarmer]

The 80s cinematic montage background music was really a quality touch… when you first started, I almost thought it was gonna be the theme to “Flash Gordon”… May I ask how it is you choose what pistol you’re going to use on any given day obviously yes the setting probably have somebody is it more of what you feel like shooting? What you happen to think you’ll shoot the best?

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

In this instance I chose the AXG Pro because I liked it at the time. Same match again today I would probably shoot some kind of 2011 with a dot and magwell - probably a staccato XC

[@willm0187]

Well done! There’s some decent talent at that match as many of them shoot both USPSA and IDPA. Some of those stages are pretty decent also. Not to mention the folks that put on the match are good people! Oh and good to see you didn’t rip down the door when you opened it this time! Lol!

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

it didn't have it coming.

[@old-veteran]

Congrats 👍

[@TheGoatMumbler]

Ok man. How are you doing those frontal camera shots?

[@docwallace3941]

Nice. Congrats on the win. Great promotion work on the video as well.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

Lol I was 6th!

[@ryanmilton2643]

great video...qq: can one use the new Canik Rival with optic in Carry Optics in IDPA?

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

I believe it will make weight. I have it on loan to a buddy

[@ryanmilton2643]

@@TheHumbleMarksman yes it does even with the extension! Whew. Your suggestions with this piece have been 100% on target

[@T.A.B.Videos]

Nice looking runs and setup

[@Jeremyuspsa]

I spy with my little eye... a mag well! once you got a taste of open suddenly you need a funnel on the bottom of all guns.. Nice shooting, glad you recovered from that near trip

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

A beretta needs a magwell something fierce. If I am going to shoot IDPA I need like a legion 320

[@allenc4909]

Very cool!

[@fiestafox1197]

Great shooting. I shot that match. I think I was the squad behind yours. I came in 2nd in CO/SS. What camera set up do you use?

[@marksikorsky5692]

Man, I got a long way to go

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

One step at a time

[@tonyvillena1293]

What cam are you using on your hat?!

[@huey7437]

Nice shooting, nice video 👍

[@alexanderchung6402]

Can you tell us more about the malfunctions? How did they and why do you think they happened? Thanks

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

My strong hand thumb pushed up on the slide stop. I am used to my 2011 open gun and sometimes I grab it that way

[@alexanderchung6402]

@@TheHumbleMarksman ah thanks!

[@cmonkey63]

Former RO here, nice shooting there. Only once did I see your barrel ride a bit high, but not so much. Awesome music! Might just watch this again.

[@travispowell2471]

How much time you figure the malfs cost ya? Equipment failure is the worst.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

In time spent fixing them - probably 8 seconds. One of them was on a disappearing target I got 2 Mike’s for - so 10 seconds there.

[@Garcia419x19]

How does the division vs overall work? You got first place in carry optics but 6th overall does that mean being first in carry optics doesnt matter at the end as far as winning goes...

[@Garcia419x19]

Nevermind i paused the slide and i see now that THM is you and you were 6th not first, im slow lol

[@John.VanSwearingen]

“Congratulations on your win” is the new “Truly disgusting, that some people would do this horrible thing.”

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

Shoot IDPA? It’s not that bad - no USPSA and I look forward to the next one

[@John.VanSwearingen]

I was referring to the handful of people commenting with “congrats” to the point where it seemed like additional comments were congratulating for winning you despite your responses or the scores at the end of the video. I wasn’t calling participation in IDPA “disgusting.” It’s a meme.

[@nicoz8796]

What pov camera are you running?

[@gc641]

Cool

[@r6duck]

Looks as if the loose gravel surface wasn't doing any favors either. But well done sir.

[@kwoddmojo183]

That music though.

[@LJ_AF]

Which Beretta is this?

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

92G Elite LTT RDO

[@LJ_AF]

@@TheHumbleMarksman Thanks! Full size, compact or centurion?

@@LJ_AF full size. I did a video recently comparing it to the 92X Performance.

Turn down the music - I can barely hear the gunfire !

no

Big time failure on the chance to use the “Saved by the Bell” filter.
