So I went to the USPSA Area 6 Championship this past Friday in Lake Okeechobee, Florida.
I heard that Manny Bragg was going to do this one...I knew things would be good
My hope was rewarded with an amazing experience.
Manny and his partner Gorka of Extreme GM laid out 12 really fun and challenging stages. The match was held on what I can only say was the nicest shooting facility I've ever been lucky enough to attend. The OK Corral is an amazing club. They actually have a professional chef for the club restaurant!
I was in a really fun squad of hard working shooters; never did we get the whip snapped for not pasting - things flowed great. We got to shoot behind a squad of really good shooters like National Production Champ Alex Berdat, Frank Garcia, Casey Reed and Gilbert Perez, so we got to catch them and watch them run stages. We finished on time and I was still ready to run another few stages.
Rumor has it Manny has the match again next year - so if you can head to Florida in April next year for this match, I highly recommend it.
Here's my video shooting some of the stages. I managed to win the first stage (stage 3) in single stack. I'm OK with my 4th in the division; the three above me are great shooters - (Arrowood, Perez and Canada's James Smith - 2016 Nats Classic Champ- and my shooting buddy) but I'd like to have a better percentage - a decent starting point for training this season.
