That’s great practice for shooting under stress. Those lower cut outs look difficult. Well done!
Gravity's a b*tch sometimes.
Kind of surprising to me, from some of the comments here, that some people seem unfamiliar with what happens in classes and also have no experience behind a VTAC barricade. They make the occasional appearance at IDPA matches at AAFG, and I've run into them in countless classes over the years (well, I haven't LITERALLY run into them.....I feel like I have to specify given the topic of this thread!).
AAR is good.
Are the Green Ops standards run from the draw or some sort of ready position?
this proves what i have always said. this forum is improperly named. it should be called mdgunowners.com
Yes, what range is that. I notice it's a hot range.
My thoughts exactly, and thanks to the OP for sharing. Kudos to you for overcoming the rough start - and congrats on your performance!Humble of you to show yourself falling. That looks both challenging and fun.
I've literally run into one, and it was just like that Costa USPSA spoof video. I am Kita Busse's stereotypical dude who's big and round and never played sports past youth soccer in his entire life. I don't know how to move, and I freely admit it.Gravity's a b*tch sometimes.

I'm not even sure I'd claim I have a defensive mindset. I just think that if I'm gonna be a gunowner and possibly use these things to defend myself and my family, I'd better be able to handle them competently, so training/competition/dryfire/etc. all follow from that. I have no delusions anyone's ever gonna regard me as a great shooter no matter what I do.

Looks like a blast! Falling is far more common in scoot-n-shoot events than most people realize. Shoot, when I played paintball in a professional capacity (no, it doesn't pay much at all which is why most of us worked in the industry or jobs that paid really, really well so that we could afford it) we'd fall all over the place on grass fields when charging ahead. That's why we all eventually switched to wearing cleats or turf shoes depending on what field we were going to be playing on.
Maybe that's an option for shooting events (cleats)?
I want to restate what I said earlier about the OP
He fell. He didn't cry about it. He got right back up and got his shots off effectively.
And that is awesome
