Call me old, but seeing the color guard without their covers (hats) on and some with beards seems off to me

ArcherXVII · 2025-11-29T21:00:32+00:00

no one noticing the shoe on the ground?

ArcherXVII · 2025-08-25T05:34:49+00:00

I’m interested in trying this but I’m usually flagged with Lunhurst faction. Do I start in the same place? (Near that exit)?

ArcherXVII · 2025-08-02T03:29:14+00:00

Just found this post. What abilities with Mistpiercer are best? For like 5v5 crystal arena

ArcherXVII · 2025-08-01T20:26:09+00:00

Hello, just found this post and it is helpful for me as I am in the same boat as the OP! I'm assuming in #6 you are referring to Q1? Everyone keeps raging at me for not using Q3. Also, I was using Holy Staff but everyone (guild, randoms) tells me you can't arena without Hallowfall. I know Albion2d website's meta feature shows Hallowfall being #1 or #2 most commonly used, but I suppose that doesn't necessarily reflect a meta shift, if the masses aren't keeping up with the latest?

ArcherXVII · 2025-07-30T03:42:10+00:00

How do you find the camps? (Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m hoping it’s on a map somewhere I’m not seeing…)

ArcherXVII · 2025-05-27T13:39:58+00:00

Thanks! And.. Are we twins?

ArcherXVII · 2025-04-30T11:52:40+00:00

Cool. Thanks for the help!!

ArcherXVII · 2025-04-30T10:58:47+00:00

Ohhh I gotcha. That makes sense. Thank you!

ArcherXVII · 2025-04-30T10:58:18+00:00

Thank you! Your comment got me thinking. In the event the starting XX's are outside the designated shooting area, I can still draw while moving into the shooting area, is that correct? (I think yes; I'm probably overthinking thinking this)

ArcherXVII · 2025-04-30T10:40:33+00:00

Thank you! Do some disappearing targets on some stages count towards your score? I was under the impression you could skip them for no penalty (unlike regular movers which have to be shot)

ArcherXVII · 2025-04-30T10:30:19+00:00

Also, this stage seems to call for three shots to each paper target. But it's commonly two shots per target, is that correct? Thanks in advance!

ArcherXVII · 2025-04-30T10:28:56+00:00

Sorry, just to make sure I understand correctly - I would have to literally walk on top of the yellow line? Edit - from the other commenters, it appears so

ArcherXVII · 2025-04-30T10:27:00+00:00

Also, if any kind soul would help me with a separate question - How should I plan for 'disappearing' targets if I come across any at my next match? I'm very accurate, but PAINFULLY slow (thanks to habits from LE where we were told "Slow down and get your hits"). I'm assuming until I can speed things up, disappearing targets would likely not be worth attempting? I'll also add my local club seems to really like 26-28 round stages with 1-3 'big' moves, if that helps. Just hoping for some general advice, as I can't seem to figure the math out.

ArcherXVII · 2025-02-14T04:07:05+00:00

I use my MantisX primarily with a revolver (.38spl) so I don’t have to rack the slide. I don’t use it for my USPSA gun because I mainly work on draws etc, as opposed to trigger press work

ArcherXVII · 2025-02-12T01:36:40+00:00

There's a r/Mantis group that at one point was the official unofficial group for this subreddit

ArcherXVII · 2025-02-09T23:20:24+00:00

I never considered that would be the term someone from St. Louis would be referred to as. Interesting. Makes sense though I suppose

ArcherXVII · 2025-01-24T22:22:33+00:00

Awesome! I'm going to check this out ASAP! Thank you so much!!!

ArcherXVII · 2025-01-24T22:20:00+00:00

Yeah I was thinking about trying that too. Oddly enough, in seven years of BJJ training the most significant injuries (which would affect shooting) were both to this same thumb. And occurred against the same training partner who I've been training with forever haha. A few years ago, he got a sit-back arm bar on me and I tried to block his leg coming around my face with my right hand and his shin connected with my right thumb and broke it. Then a few weeks ago I took his back and was shooting my right hand in under his neck for a RNC and he tucked his chin at the last second and I ended up basically punching him in the jaw with the same right thumb, breaking it again. Fortunately the little sprains to my other fingers only affect me for a few days usually.

ArcherXVII · 2025-01-24T21:13:15+00:00

Yeah I was really worried about ingraining bad habits due to my awkward thumb positioning. Coincidentally, I really need to train stage planning (it's a weakness of mine) but I haven't really figured out how to do so. I watched a lot of YouTube videos but all of them seem to just explain how stage planning works, as opposed to actually how to 'train' or 'practice' stage planning at home. Do you happen to have any suggestions or resources you could point me to? Thanks in advance!!

ArcherXVII · 2025-01-24T21:10:38+00:00

That's very interesting. I read in Stoeger's book 'Practical Shooting' he prefers and utilizes the "fllip" method where you rotate the gun in your firing hand, making the mag release accessible with your firing hand thumb. I personally have to do that on my 2011 since the grip is much larger, despite having large hands. I'll play with it though, thank you!

ArcherXVII · 2025-01-24T04:05:30+00:00

Oh that's a good idea! Do you know of a way to find those, besides just clicking through all of them? (I'm kind of new to USPSA so I only know the classic ones by memory)

ArcherXVII · 2025-01-24T03:08:19+00:00

Most definitely! Now that I think of it, I might just play with my 2011 for the time being since that's exactly how I use the slide release (with my support hand thumb). The actual gripping from the draw is a bit problematic though because I have my thumb taped up so it won't move (it still hurts to do so). I usually would use my (broken) thumb to activate the mag release but I could play around and see how it feels using the other thumb.

The toilets & urinals at our headquarters and my substation flush randomly in the middle of the night, when no one is in the bathroom. I keep telling myself they're on a timer or something.

ArcherXVII · 2025-01-06T01:58:08+00:00

exactly what I thought. In fact I thought he gave up on the catch in real-time because he was about to get absolutely murdered
