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

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.

Just had my first chomp shoot today , shot straight but need better planning and slow down a bit and relax and keep my finger of the trigger when moving Your explanation was excellent , from Darwin Australia

The b-roll in the start made me have a feeling I was in for a treat

So helpful, this is by far the best video I’ve seen on shooting in a long time!

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. 😬

As both a new shooter and a left handed shooter it is awesome to see some really amazing runs by a southpaw.

Awesome information for me. I plan to take this on after doing some PRS centerfire and rimfire.
