Thread: Tips for CZ shadow shooters

You just can't pickup a $700 glock and be competitive anymore.

To me Production should be more like the Toyota GT racing series where everyone races the same car, instead it's more like Formula 1.
But that's just my 2c, in sticking to my principles I shoot an "as it came", stock, untweaked, uncerakoted, un-spring lightened, non-thin alloy gripped SP01 Shadow and an un-fucked with Open Czechmate. And I still managed to win our Club Trophy for top shooter.
I put that all down to being coached by a local Grandmaster, good practice at home and that I approach matches with a totally different mindset to many people, shit i don't even shoot many rounds in a year

Losing interest?

Is that whey there were more production shooters at the 2016 IPSC Nationals than any other division?

And at the 2015 and 2014 Nationals?

Yes losing interest and changing sections, swapping to multigun/3 gun or just straight up giving up
Production will always have more shooters because its the entry point for the sport
