“IIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFF you’re finished” means you forgot something in the target array and you can technically go back and take care of it

@GatewayDefense 4 месяца назад

There’s always the option 😂

I would love to see a video on how to start training for USPSA When you don't know how to set up stages or anything like that.

@junderwood6633 Месяц назад

Just go to a match. You'll learn right away what to practice. You don't typically set up stages to practice. You set up individual elements of stages and work on 1 thing at a time. If you're interested in this, dont wait. Just go and shoot. You'll get lots of help and have a blast. These videos ate fantastic and I wish I had seen something like this before my 1st match.

@papabear2965 6 месяцев назад

I agree with others, great video! For newbies, the only other place you can handle your gun is at a safe area/table and with no ammo present. I almost got DQ'd for loading mags there. 😬

I did not know you could "cut across" from one part of the shooting area to another.

@mattb28 2 месяца назад

I'm also wondering what the point of the boundaries are if you can cut through. Are there certain rules related to that?

@craigbenz4835 2 месяца назад

I wasn't expecting that either.

@ThatBoyLC 4 месяца назад

Justin should speak on doing this lifted handed. I know it’s not like rare but it’s different. He has to drop his mag just as quick as Brennan but I noticed his mag release is still on the left. What’s his choice of manipulation with that? Etc. great video‼️‼️🤞🏽

@GatewayDefense 4 месяца назад

Justin’s mag release is on the right side of his gun

@ThatBoyLC 4 месяца назад

@@GatewayDefense I noticed, did he manipulate his grip using his middle finger or index? It was very quick, looked like his middle.

I'd like a clearer picture of how to run sideways and backwards. Where is the pistol pointed on the angle backward run?

@GatewayDefense 19 дней назад

Muzzle always pointed Downrange

Is Jell-O shots no longer a thing? I see the link is gone. Anyone in the comments got an opinion Jello Shots vs Hop munitions?

@GatewayDefense 2 месяца назад

While we are still friends with Angelo and crew, we are now shooting HOP Munitions! We love that it’s soft shooting, and is USPSA Certified! Our discount code (GATEWAY5) combined with the subscription service saves you about 10%!

@jamesmanning8795 5 месяцев назад

Great video guys! The only other suggestion I'd have is for people to have their visualization done before they get to the line.

@GatewayDefense 5 месяцев назад

Definitely. One thing I (Justin) had mentioned on my first run was that the make ready should not be the first time you visualize, but the final time you visualize.

@Templetons 4 месяца назад

When you’re “finished” and clear your gun at the end of the stage, do you pick up your live round you eject on the ground then?

@GatewayDefense 4 месяца назад

Yes you can, but only if you know exactly where it is. Be careful not picking up a round that looks like your caliber but really isn’t (like 9mm major, etc)

@TacticalOperator07 2 месяца назад

He didnt pick them up that really bothered me lol i pick up a roundbcs were im from ammo is very expensive

@mikebeuselinck6138 5 месяцев назад

At 34:18, isn’t that Charlie Mike NS? All I see is one hit on the brown. I don’t think you score any hits on white paper only, regardless of what stands behind it.

@GatewayDefense 5 месяцев назад

Negative. It was cutting the perf of the no shoot so the hit is scored as an alpha no shoot because it’s touch both the alpha and the NS. The cardboard outside of the perf doesn’t exist. Good question tho!

@mikebeuselinck6138 5 месяцев назад

@@GatewayDefense Thank you for clarifying! Couldn’t see the perf line in that section of the video. I was looking up the USPSA scoring rules about the perf line and how it’s scored based on the adjacent sections. Very interesting (and complicated)!

@GaryV16 3 месяца назад

what are the mag holders?

@GatewayDefense 3 месяца назад

Brennan is running Hammer Armament and Justin is running Trex

@December428 2 месяца назад

Are they using an app to tally their scores and calculate HF? I've always done it by hand, is there a particular app someone would recommend using to make things faster?

@GatewayDefense 2 месяца назад

Yes, it’s a great free app called Simple Scoring IPSC. Highly recommend

What can you get paid for this or is ammo paid for with anything ?

@GatewayDefense 5 месяцев назад

Not any money in the sport other than if you make it to the very top and have sponsors paying you full time.

@jackdeth5009 5 месяцев назад

I'm sure he didn't mean it literally, but don't take a "few minutes" after the make ready command lol. Great video.

@GatewayDefense 5 месяцев назад

You absolutely can. It’s in the rule book. Important to take time to check your dot, load properly and carefully, visualize everything one last time, etc.

@jackdeth5009 5 месяцев назад

@@GatewayDefenseSure you can, but you aren't going to win any popularity contests lol. "A few minutes" is frankly ridiculous, but you do you. If everyone at Nationals took "a few minutes" to Make Ready on every stage we would have been shooting in the dark every day.

@craigbenz4835 2 месяца назад

This is the first time I've looked at this in depth. What surprised me most was how small the penalty of no hits turned out to be.

@GatewayDefense 2 месяца назад

A miss ends up costing you 15 points. You lose the 5 points you could have scored by shooting an alpha, and you incur a penalty of -10pts. If you are referring to a no-shoot white target, and you didn’t break the perf to where its scoring both as a hit as well as a no-shoot penalty, you end up with a miss (Mike) AND a no shoot (-10) for a total of -25 points, which is the equivalent of 2 paper targets and a steel target!

@craigbenz4835 2 месяца назад

@@GatewayDefense I wrote that wrong. I meant hitting the no shoot like in your second example.

@MrZola1234 24 дня назад

Given your handed, both of you chose the wrong side to start from on the stage. I could see a novice shooter choosing to start from the slower side. Most shooters should have no problem loading without breaking the 180.
