I finally competed in my first USPSA match at Freedom Training Center (formerly Stoddard’s), and it was an experience I’ll never forget.

Over the past six months, I’ve gone from learning with airsoft and trying different firearms, to training consistently with ACE Virtual Shooting, and now stepping onto my first real competition stage.

In this video, I share exactly what was going through my mind, the nerves, the excitement, and the full stage walkthroughs. You’ll also see some behind-the-scenes footage of what it actually takes to set up a USPSA stage before the shooting even begins.

This is only the beginning of my journey into competitive shooting, and I’m excited to keep growing, learning, and documenting the process. From VR to real-life application, every session has pushed me one step closer to becoming a more confident and capable shooter.
