I am really bad at shooting from uncomfortable positions, I always lose the dot and lose the time searching for it. Especially shooting from behind the corner. So now I spend time practicing it at home

I’m not sure if dry fire is helpful for weak hand shooting. Maybe only with gripping and finding the dot training. But the biggest struggle is recoil that must be practiced live in my opinion

lol who told you I have alignment problem? My hits were mostly Alphas on this one.
I shoot at least 600 rounds per week and I know very well what I’m doing.
How did you even come up with eyes tip when I literally said my gun jams from a weak left handed grip (which is a regular thing in shooting)?

2026-07-13 21:48:55 UTC

Last match results: I am 24 out of 55 in carry optics division and 41 out of 97 overall 😎
I did way better than a bunch of military and police dudes.
3 Mikes (missed the target) and 1NS (hit a no shoot target). My hits are very decent which means I must significantly push the speed

2026-07-12 19:50:48 UTC

Here are couple of stages from the match yesterday. Weak hand only shooting is wild, usually my gun jams a lot because I don’t have enough grip with my left hand. Yesterday I was squeezing it so tight as if my life depended on it lol. No jams!

Big milestone achieved at the competition yesterday: I hit B level on both qualifying stages 😎. Usually we have 5 stages at a match, and two of them go to the official scoreboard of USPSA – those are classifiers.
I am already a B level shooter during my training, but I never qualified officially as a B because I get very nervous and fail every time at matches.
Yesterday I finally got my shit together and delivered the best performance I could 😌
Now to become an official B I have to do it a couple more times because USPSA calculates an average level out of all competitions you participated in. #gunstr #uspsa

2026-06-29 17:21:00 UTC

My shooting performance is significantly affected by my horrible running skills lol. Bad running = slower shooting. I have this stupid habit that I’ve been fighting forever: I make this tiny little step back to better accelerate but in fact it makes me slower and less explosive 🥲 no struggles with sideways running though. Working on it, ladies and gentlemen

I have to admit that stock Gen6 trigger sucks. I had my entire trigger system replaced and I got a new trigger shoe. Total game changer in my shooting performance. The old trigger was heavy and it caused a lot of trigger freeze and unnecessary gun movement. The new trigger is smooth and the shoe now is wider which makes pulling easier. 10/10

This was a qualifier stage at a competition three days ago. I completely failed it there.
Today during training I achieved level A when shooting it 😱
Level A is a sick milestone, currently I’m officially C level which is very bottom of the USPSA world lol.
I keep watching this footage and I can’t believe I’m able to go this fast. I must achieve a stable B level by the end of this year, it’s my goal now.

2026-06-09 16:41:27 UTC

Back to business 😎 not too bad after four weeks off. I’m really happy with my speed here and proud of how I shoot when exiting a position (when I move backwards and shoot). I definitely gained confidence in shooting when moving. The hits could be better though, I still struggle with a very heavy trigger which causes a lot of trigger freeze and wide open hits. Tight trigger makes the gun move a lot in my hands when I am pulling it. That’s the problem of a brand new gun and it takes time to make it softer

I’m talking about gym training. Acceleration, deceleration, rotations, explosive jumping etc

2026-05-11 22:35:43 UTC

USPSA requires a lot of movement and proper leg work. You can have the best hits but if you can’t run fast and decelerate properly you will be slow and it will affect your scoring. I really struggled with running so I hired a coach that works on my speed and agility now. My shooting has improved significantly!

It was one of those competitions that makes me drive back home in silence and question my existence lol. I did really bad today! A lot of trigger freeze, clumsy reloads, slow pace, bad hits. Moreover I totally failed one of the classifier stages 🥲
I’m proud of my stage planning though, also I got much better at moving and shooting, entering and exiting positions. But anyway I don’t want to look at the scoreboard this time 🙈

No but I can live with G17 recoil, it’s not terrible. I survived G45 so..

2026-04-20 17:17:01 UTC

Today I switched from G45 Gen5 to G17 Gen6 🥰
The gun is brand new so the trigger is very tight. I struggled a lot with trigger freeze today. The grip texture is very sharp too, it ripped my hand. But overall I loved it, the grip is much tighter and less bouncy than G45. I expect it to ruin my performance significantly while I’m getting used to it lol but it’s a part of the game.
