This was great. One of USPSA's shortcomings is video. With all of us shooting and uploading our own stuff that should help. Most of what I've seen uspsa put out is the top shooters in the world shooting REALLY fast. As a new shooter it's intimidating and lots of guys will not get into it because of that. Not me...but...
@ReligiousShooter - And I hope that you do! Whether I have brolls depend on whether my bro is there (and I'm sure there will be times he just doesn't feel like traveling around the states to film lol). Nevertheless, this can be done with any basic camera. I think it's about time to be honest...we can only hear the *beep* and "if you're finished show clear" so many times. Not only that, but I'm sure your squadmates will enjoy seeing themselves on film too. The more natural it is, the better!
@dvcman123 - I put a hole on the baseball cap itself. I then use a mounting plate underneath the bill of the cap to hold the camera on top. Search for "Manfrotto Rapid Connect Mounting Plate" on Amazon.com...it looks something like that. Actually I accidentally broke a tripod when I started shooting and that's where I got the mounting plate from. :) If you don't to stab hats or break tripods, a lot of shooters mount the camera on their ear muffs too. Don't like the POV of that though...
@AlienFourTwoSix - Thanks! I did have more than an hour of footage too. Hahahaha. I will post one more basic video from a PA State IDPA match I'm going to this Friday. After that there are more matches all the way until the end of November. However, depending on job prospects I might have to disappear again. Gotta earn the dough to afford this sport! :)
Diana, great stock footage and captures the realness of the match. Just not the heat I endured for 10 days but worth it anyways.

I could have watched for another hour or so.
So you won't be posting any more videos till next season starts, Diana?
