USPSA, WAC, 12-29-23 (LO)

Limited Optics Division

STI DVC LO

• Borrowing Lee P’s STI DVC setup for Limited Optics
• Polymer grip from Open Edge
• Sig Romeo 3XL dot
• Gas pedal
• MBX 140mm mags (24, 23rnd)
• 124gr Xtreme RN loads (4.2gr N320, Fiocchi SPP primers, 1.12 OAL)
• 115gr Federal ammo

Accuracy first. Focusing on a clean match and good hits (Alphas).

Stage 4

• Could start on the right-most side of the wall for all the targets I shot through the 2 ports. This would be my normal plan. Instead, chose the 2 positions with the ports so I’d be coming in on the right array fully visible, rather than making a sharp turn if I’d come from cutting from the right.
• Steel 1 for 1 to end.
• Clean; 24th out of 39.

Stage 1

• Classifier. Gun unloaded on table, hands in surrender. 2 each, reload, 2 each.
• Used Federal 115s. Hit my initial load and reload.
• Clean; 14th.

Stage 2

• Gun on the barrel, hands on the barrel. As fast as I could off the bat, and backing up on the last.
• Quick on the middle flanks, slower on the far ones.
• Clean; 12th.

Stage 3

• Unloaded start, hands in surrender. Practiced loading the 24 round mag on ‘Make Ready’ trying to set muscle memory on what was needed to seat the full mag. Mag didn’t fall out on the first shot, so initial load was good.
• Went right instead of left as most did as it was closer.
• All that prepping to load the 24 round mag for the 24 round course is out the window with the extra on the steel.
• Reload from the middle to the left.
• Clean; 24th.

Stats: 63A, 18C, 2D (Previous WAC LO stats: 64A, 16C, 5D, 1M, 1NS)

The Good

• Clean match. Focus on accuracy and not so much on speed.
• Good A-C ratio.
• Good empty starts and reloads.
• I can run.

Needs Improvement

• Accuracy is back, back to ‘maxtrap splits’ for the next match.
• Steel needs to be 1 for 1.
• Need speed on splits and target appropriate splits.
• Keep up maintenance on the right leg so I can keep running.

Finished 17th out of 39 overall and 5th out of 12 in LO.
