Stage Zero Shooting Supply

Stage Zero Shooting Supply Stage Zero Shooting Supply is dedicated to providing top of the line competitive shooting equipment

With the recent attacks on our 2nd Amendment rights, the country has seen an explosion of new gun owners. Many of these new Fi****ms owners have little to no actual experience in handling a Firearm. Our goal is to help increase the safe handling, knowledge, and proficiency of these new fi****ms owners. We want them to get the most enjoyment out of their new purchase while handling the firearm in a

safe manner that allows those shooting around them the ability to enjoy theirs safely as well. We also want to help introduce both new fi****ms owners and old, to the world of competitive shooting. Whether its USPSA, IDPA, 2Gun, 3Gun, Steel Challenge, or any other discipline of shooting, get involved today!

Another stage from the 3 gun match. Felt like I had a pretty consistent match with a few mistakes here and there that did cost me time, but I was pretty happy with how I recovered from those mistakes. I attribute that to working on mental performance through the Altimas program. During the off season I will continue to focus heavily on accuracy and really get focused on my speed in transitions between targets, transitions between guns, footwork and movement, etc.... there's a lot to work on but work on it I will do.

Sometimes things don't go as planned.

When things don't go as planned on a stage It can not only ruin that stage but our entire match if we let it. This has definitely happened to me before. I've gotten into my head, waiting for the next shoe to drop, and watched my match go down in flames. I've been working pretty hard to overcome that over the last several months. And a couple things have changed that for me.

1. I have been working with .horner3gun and his mental performance course, Altimas. This course has helped me to change my mindset on several things. This helped me to keep my mind in the game both in the moment and in the match overall. Not allowing something going wrong to lead to more things going wrong.

2.Most notably, the course helped me to identify a truly bad habit I had during practice sessions. If things went really bad during a practice run, I would stop, reset, and then start over again. Over the last few months I have fought through whatever issue I was having and continue with the practice run.

This particular run on the all shotgun jungle run at , was a perfect example of things going wrong. I knocked shells off of the belt while conducting reloads, went to dry lock twice, had two standing reloads, shot things out of order... While all that was going on, I was still able to keep my head in the stage and get hits on the targets without a bunch of makeup shots. I got to the last portion of this stage and only had enough rounds left to go one for one. I was able to do so to include the small slug target at the end. After this stage I went on to have one of my better stages of the match on the next stage. This would typically be the point that everything kind of unravels. But it did not because the mental performance and preparation was something I had been working on.

FYI.... There will be registrations for in-person Altimas classes coming soon. So stay tuned!

I spent the weekend at the 2025 3 Gun match this weekend and had a great time, despite the rain. Normally, shooting in the rain just sucks the fun out of everything, but our squad stayed laughing, working hard resetting, and having a great time the entire time.

As far as shooting goes, I didn't finish too badly at 20/103. I definitely could have finished higher if not for a few costly mental mistakes. My rifle ran great all weekend and I only had a few makeup shots on long range w/ targets going out to 700 yards. My B12iX ran equally great. I absolutely love this shotgun that comes factory w/ left side charging and is decked out in all the go-fast goodies from . I have been struggling on pistol for awhile now. Not because of the pistol, which is a custom 6" 2011 Sight tracker from , but because I hadn't put the work in. So that was my primary focus over the last couple of weeks and it paid off. I could see huge growth in how I shot the pistol this weekend and it will only get better. And of course, all of my fi****ms were topped w/ I love the large window on the Defender XL and this weekend we really put the windage holds on the reticle to good use on the RZR 1x10.

The match itself was an awesome match. Lots of opportunities to get on the gas, shoot into and out of positions, shoot on the move, good long range shooting positions, and stage designs. I think this was the best match does so far, by far.

Also, I've been applying different aspects of the Altimas program to help me on training, match preparation, and performance. I can see the gains as a result of the program and am excited to see the continued growth and results as I apply more of the Altimas concepts to my life, both personally and professionally.

I have to say thank you to my beautiful wife who spent the weekend being ran over by 2 extremely energetic little boys while I was here selling stuff and shooting guns!

I built a small stage to kind of see where I've progressed and where my biggest rooms for improvement are. I can def see where shooting 20A at 25yrds had been paying off. My accuracy was much better with only a few D's across 6 runs (120rounds total) and mostly A's.

There is a lot of room to work on movement into and out of position. I'm slow. I say again.... Slow. Lol.

I will spend the next few days continuing pistol drills like 20A, reload drills, movement drills, shotgun work, and of course some offhand rifle plate rack getting ready for the shoot-off at Memorial 3 Gun next weekend.

Despite being absolutely beautiful outside this afternoon, I wasn't able to get any shooting done. But, I was able to start working on a stage that will help me work on all of my skills. I will be able to work on hard leans to the left and right, swingers, medium height ports and low ports, and plenty of targets with tight uno shoots. I'll be able to break this down to eat skill and then link them together and a full stage later this week. Still have some more work to do on it, but I should be able to finish it up tomorrow morning and get to work on it this week. Less than 2 weeks left for the first qualifier for the 2026 IPSC World Shoot qualifiers and I have more to work on than most. Got a lot of work to put in and it won't stop at this qualifier.

We are always looking for more speed. Ways to do things faster. With the first shotgun world qualifier coming up in a couple of weeks, I started analyzing where I am losing time. I typically practice a bit more loadong strong hand, but I am almost as fast loading weak hand.

With IPSC start position being different than we use in 3 Gun, I decided to see if loading was faster strong hand or weak hand from the IPSC start position. I have two videos here and two screenshots. In the lower right hand corner you can see the time when I get the first shells into loading position. The strong hand load was 1.46 sec vs. the weak hand was .8 sec.

Why? In the IPSC start position with weak hand, you can roll the firearm into position with one hand while the loading hand moves to grab the shells. However, when loading strong hand, it requires both hands to move the gun into loading position before you can move the loading hand to the shells.

This resulted in a .66 sec faster start to loading when using weak hand. My first load doing it this way was actually a 6.07 and I didn't even get a clean load. With more practice I can get this into the low 5 sec for load 12.

I am really digging the Shooters Global timer and how much it can help you analyze and break down your training. I highly recommend it. Check them out at https://www.stagezeroshooting.com/

Got 3 solid days of training for the shotgun qualifier coming up in a few weeks. Mybfirst run on Monday was more than 17 secs with a 9+ second load 12. I did 10nruns on Monday getting it down to 15.34, then 12.99 doing 7 runs on Tuesday, then down to 11.46 today (no training yesterday).

I've been really focused on getting good consistent loads, and trying to identify where I can really push it. For example on the first no shoot, which is the second shot, I know that if I pushed to a .6 split that I'm hitting the no shoot consistently. However, if I slow down .1 to .7 split, I get the hit consistently and don't knock over the no shoot.

I'm really pushing the speed as well as finding my consistency. My fastest time today was a 11.46 clean, but I did have a 11.07 that I hit a no shoot on. I had several runs clean in the 11.50's

I will be changing up the drill with new things to focus on next....

02/03/2025

A few videos from a short session today. I did 10 runs trying to identify where I was at on a few things. The first run was bad. I mean really bad. I hit both no-shoots and took 9.5 secs to load. It got progressively better through the runs, as it should. The 9th run was the best @ 13.56 with the 10th run being 14.08. The difference was fumbling a round on the first run. The load went down to 7.19 from the first.

I could have kept practicing this over and over and sped it up and gotten faster at it. But the point of this for me was to see more where I was at with transition speed with some targets closer together and one long transition as well as shooting at the tight no shoots, and working the shotgun around the obstacle. Obviously there's a lot to work on as these shotgun matches coming up with the first one being less than a month away in Texas with .

My thought coming into this month was to try and shoot about 750 rounds a week. But reminded me earlier that the round count doesn't matter. What you get out of the rounds that you shoot is what matters. So I can shoot 750 rounds and not make many improvements, or I can shoot 350 rounds and be very focused, detail-oriented, and make a lot more improvement. So I'm trying to do that. Not worrying about how many rounds did I shoot, but more what I'm getting out of each round shot.
