VIDEO: Memphis IDPA match, using a hat-cam


Recommended Posts

I've always loved hatcam/hosercam footage from matches. It's like real-life Halo. :D

Getting the gun into the frame of a camera that doesn't have a fish-eye lens doesn't seem that hard. Until you move around while loading, shooting around barricades, etc. My head moves a LOT, as it turns out. Or at least, enough to make adjusting this thing in the middle of a match into a royal pain.

But this turned out pretty well. For a couple of zipties and 10 seconds of forethought, that is.

Here's the video you're used to seeing. A few shooters taped from over their shoulder with a handycam:

Here's just the footage of myself, with all the somewhat-aimed hatcam footage spliced in there:

Things that might be unclear:

The first stage was 1,1,2,1,1 on the upper row (reload) 2,2,2 on the lower row (reload) and finally 1 to each head.

The second stage had a tac-load required after T2 was engaged.

Ya'll need a SO class or a refresher on the proper range commands.

We get a little lax with proper range commands around people we know and shoot with all the time. Instead of saying "Face downrange and load and make ready," we may say, "Ok Joe, load 'em up." Probably not a good idea, but the formal commands are always followed around new or unknown shooters.

Hmmm...this is news to me. Why didn't you introduce yourself?

I haven't been up there on Tuesday night in a while. That work thing takes up so much free time...

We probably have met, I dont usually introduce myself as "canynracer" :D

I am not sure if I have met you yet, but I know I have met Evan.

Next time I see him, I will ask if you are around, I may not be there on Tues for a bit, but I am there a lot.
