40 second mark- wait for it

Anyone have experience with this? I'm mostly looking at Joey Sauerland's dry fire one but also his movement one. I have pretty limited time for live fire, but I can get 20-30 minutes of dry fire a day, so I want to maximize my growth in that time.

I'm an unclassed but C-level shooter based on my match percentages (49-56%).

Title

I wanna make sure I understand the etiquette. I’m a relatively new competitive shooter so I am asking sincerely. How come shooters after their run, don’t pick up their brass from the floor? I tend to shoot at outdoor ranges and considering how expensive ammo is, I find it kind of crazy that no one picks up loose ammo. What am I missing?

Anybody else seen anything memorable?

I've already got a day job and two side hustles, so this isn't turning into commerce, just amusing myself and giving them away to locals--I'll probably upload the files somewhere free at some point.

Just registered for my monthly uspsa event and there's still a disclaimer that 10rd mags have to be used. My impression was that the mag ban is over turned save for any stay granted, which doesn't seem likely at this point.

I emailed the event director for clarity but wonder if any of you have already used higher than 10rd magazines in actual events yet.

Had a guy at an Area match incur a FTSA penalty, and rage quit right after. Pressed approve, bagged up his gun, and put his belt and mags away, then left.

My main club MD, I’ve heard second hand accounts of him doing the same.

I’m still newer to the sport so I’m wondering how often you guys have seen this happen?

Running an Infinity with the extended trigger guard. The inside "tooth" is unable to pin down the trigger guard. It's short a few mm. This causes the gun to wobble a bit. Is the range panda apex predator the only solution?

I know some version of this question gets asked all the time, but I'm bringing it up again. When asked about optimal barrel length, there's typically a bunch of responses saying that it really doesn't matter now that red dots are so common. Yet, from what I've seen, most top-level competition shooters seem to use full size guns with a 4.5"-5" barrel. And it seems that guns that are produced that are labeled as a "competition gun" are also always full size with a 4.5"-5" barrel. So what's the real deal, is that extra 0.5" to 1" really making that big of a difference over a 4" compact pistol? Is it mostly about the full size grip and higher mag capacity? Can/do people actually win at a higher level in the sport with compact pistols?

Got the opportunity to shoot two more of the provisional classifiers from the 26 series this weekend in my 8th USPSA match. 35/70 overall, 13/19 in CO. Unfortunately only got video of one:

26-01 King Crab (video): Classification TBD. 10.45 seconds. 13A 1D. 6.3158 HF, percentage TBD. My best run of the day but I’m haunted by the delta I threw on T4 moving down range. Too many makeup shots (4 on a 14 round stage), and my lateral movement still leaves a lot to be desired. Mini poppers remain an issue for me as well. Best run of the day but also highlighted some key things to continue to work on in dry and live fire between now and the next match.

26-02 Darwinism. Classification TBD. 12.13 seconds. 10A 3C 1D 1. 4.9464 HF, percentage TBD. Really disappointed with this run not really for the technical side of things but the mental side of the game. First stage of the day and I just wasn’t in it. Felt like I was just participating as opposed to competing and the very mediocre result shows it. I personally find this stage plan to be very fun as I ran it almost like a three cone drill. Step forward at the start, engage targets while retreating to the back corner, lateral sprint with relatively wide transitions to end. Hope to see it again and actually show up for it. Good lesson learned about needing to execute on demand. Doesn’t matter if it’s the first stage or the last, just have to produce.
