WATCH: Shooting Carry Optics at the Safariland Expedition
I can’t think of a better way to kick off my match season than with my fellow teammates from Safariland at the Safariland Expedition. First, it’s a fantastic event. If you’re looking for a shoot with lots of trigger time, you should check this match out. It’s a multi-gun competition, a night shoot and the Michael Voigt Memorial Pistol match all in one weekend.
This is my second year shooting the pistol match. It’s a great way to discover areas to improve as I start the season. A United Multi-gun League event, the stages are fast, furious and HUGE! Here’s a video I shared from last year:
In 2018 I managed to place first among the women and 3rd Overall in Carry Optics with my Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P CORE with Trijicon RMR, Federal Premium American Eagle and my Safariland ELS Rig. This year, I used all the same gear except for my ammo. I opted to use the soft-shooting Syntech Action Pistol load. I took top lady honors again and brought home medals from the match.
I’m also excited to share that I even managed to win a stage OVERALL in the division. It all came together on this one with tough steel and some swingers. Here’s a look at that run.
Over the past few weeks, on planes and in hotel rooms, I have been editing what I call a “vloggy highlights reel” of my match. I hope you enjoy it and join me in the chat/comment section on YouTube. Please do let me know if you’d like me to do a stage breakdown of my stage win as well. Here’s the video:
