Geek Lite - The Movie

This video is probably of personal interest to perhaps 12 people in the world.

But is serves as an example of the way that IPSC competition can be enjoyed by shooters of all levels of experience and talent, with the possible exception of "Good Shooters".

Nobody in this movie is particularly good, but everybody in this movie was having a good time. Witness the surprising end of The Incredible Kevin, who chose to end the stage by dumping all 11 rounds from his Single-Stack 1911 at "the two difficult far targets hidden in the corner". To his joy, he managed to get four hits on one target, and five on the other.

And no, we didn't make him tape the targets.

It's also a good vehicle for WhiteFish to show off his new STI 4.5" Open Gun. He got a miss on one of "the two difficult far targets hidden in the corner", but when interviewed (?) after the stage, he acknowledged that the misses were not due to 'the previous owner left a couple of misses in the gun', but due to his own desire to wish the shots into the brown parts. He bought it, he owns it, in the truest sense.

This video, and two other videos from this match are (as usual) available from Jerry the Geek's Video Shooting Gallery ... although the other two videos are 12mb downloads, this one is 15mb to preserve the visual quality and to give full justice to the music.

The YouTube version is available now, here:



The neat part about this movie is you can watch it and imagine how you would have shot it better, faster, smarter ...
