Sundays word of the day - SLOPPY Again, I just felt off this match, and the results showed it. Having a hard time keeping the gun steady on target. All that pre match caffeine and 0 breakfast isn’t helping Thanks to @the.chewycookie for putting on another great match Big thank you to our sponsors! @rooftopshootingrangetx @rooftopshootingacademy @texasscheelsoutdoors Evans Properties @resultswithcodyc @resultsroofing @lonestarordnancecompany @macsdfw Discount code: RSR @challengetargets Discount code: ROOFTOP

Squeaked out a 5th place finish in carry optics Saturday. Had kinda an off day and didn’t feel confident with my shooting, yet still placed high. Either way I’ll take it!

Great match at Mission 160 today. Took 5th in Carry optics with a couple second place stage “wins”. So close to having a 1st place stage. Yet again I can’t shoot a classifier to save my life… Representing @rooftopshootingrangetx with both the varsity and JV teams rolling deep.

Nothing beats the sound of steel ringing and the squad pushing their limits. Great day out at the PCSL match watching the crew absolutely crush it. @mauswerx @jpshootstx @laracristian26 @heavymetalrecoil All at the one and only @rooftopshootingrangetx 📸 @archangelveil #PCSL #PracticalShooting #RunAndGun #CompetitiveShooting #RangeDay #IronSharpensIron #ShootingSports #TrainingHard #2A

3/15 @rooftopshootingrangetx Concealment PCSL match. 10th overall! Glad the match went well, especially with all of the “behind the scenes” work that was put in. Finally feeling more comfortable behind the gun 📸 @angelartstv @archangelveil

3/14 Rooftop PCSL. Going back and forth with @here_fur_the_memes and @truetwoface kept me on my toes. I’ll take 9th place for sure! Time to get after it in the concealment match tomorrow @rooftopshootingrangetx

3.14.2026 Pistol PCSL @rooftopshootingrangetx Placed 5th overall with a few equipment issues that lead to mental errors. First stage of the day was doozy 😂. @truetwoface @mauswerx 🤝🏻 #uspsa #shooting #glock #ghostenergy #txc

First match of 2026. Second half of the day I shot like trash, and allergies made me feel like trash. Still had a blast, even with the looming eyes of the varsity team 😂 22rd overall 71.55%

Not exactly the best year performance wise, but it’s been one hell of a journey. Shot my first USPSA match in July, an all classifier, to see where I’d end up. Just barely ended up as B class with a 60.34%. Since then it’s been an almost non stop ride, multiple competitions a month, with a group of friends that constantly push each other to do better. Wouldn’t change it for anything. As most of you know, (I’ve complained about it to anyone who will listen) I’ve had a hand issue since before the first all classifier in July. Something popped in my left hand at work, and I haven’t been able to grip a pistol for months. Which has lead to sloppy shooting most of the year. 6 months of fighting something that easily could have been fixed with a doctor’s appointment, yet I was too stubborn to schedule one. Well now it’s finally healing, thank god. Time to relearn how to grip a pistol for probably the 5th time. Ending the year with a 69.73% (which sucks because I was at 71.8% like a month ago, oh well). The fight for A has been a rough one, but came with a lot of learning along the way. 2026 is going to be the year where all the boys make A and M, mark my words!

@mauswerx 's books for 2026 Efficient Stage Planning will be opening soon, keep an eye out

Closing out '25 with the Bois in the freezing cold at @lake_forest_psc . Didn't get the results I wanted today but couldn't be more appreciative and thankful for the dedicated and motivated group of dudes I had the privilege of shooting with all year. Love you bois, it's coming in '26 🫡

AMG Product Expert Training 2025. Pretty cool that Mercedes puts on such a cool event, even for us technician peasants. Won team of the day in the G wagon auto cross too! Even though I don’t have a lot of grip driving time under my belt (just dirt and drifting), the Gt63 Pro and the 53 series AMG cars were fun to drive. I just wish next time we could push them harder
