Fantastic weather to shoot, I think this would be the last time we have something like this before the rain and cold starts again. Squadded up with a bunch of great shooters and got my butt kicked by Jordan who is really good.

Didn't get to shoot live fire since I shot Berry's Steel, almost a month ago now, and it shows. Did not start off well today with a jam. I figured out what the problem is, there's grime from my dry-fire bullets in the chamber that makes brass get stuck. After cleaning it, the gun ran fine. Gotta remember to clean my chamber before every match.
the only thing good from today's match are the classifiers. I think I made GM with the two classifiers we had today. Probably not a good thing either as Area 1 is in a few weeks. Oh well. I'll take it.

Here's a one stage video I put together to test out how a simulated Heads-Up-Display could work. This was requested by some folks at the WaGuns.org forum. I wanted to see how hard it is and how much time. It took almost an hour to get this up but I think it'll be faster if I had the map already drawn and everything in place. That said, still fun to watch. There are still a lot of errors but you know that this is a "test" right? :)

Had a total lack of confidence today taking unnecessary shots, pushing myself when I didn't have to. Shooting Open is such a mental game. Need to find my zen :)
Gorgeous day for shooting though.

Remember reading some comments about using VR as a training tool for firearms and how it can "get you killed on the streets". Thought I'd call out a few things that actually work to improve your shooting skills. Firearms manipulation, movements, and recoil control are things that VR will not be able to help with, not right now anyway , perhaps sometime in the future.
After having played around in VR for a few months, I've noticed that you can improve your shot calling, sight picture, sight alignment and transition skills using VR. My experience is very similar to dryfire and I believe if you "train" enough, you would be able to improve these skills in real life.

Great match in fabulous weather! Gun is running well, I wish the shooter was. Saw some high paying risky situations I could exploit but I failed to deliver. No matter, at least I was brave/foolish enough to try it.
Always fun to shoot with squadmates that are better than you, gives you something to go after.
Thanks to Dave and crew for setting this match up!
