Great Match today. It drizzled a little but then quickly went away. The stages were well put together, super high hit factor all round. Lucky to come in 2nd place. Had a few minor screw-ups but no big stage bombs. Thanks to the Down Zero team for putting together another solid match!
I’ve been using the Frankford Arsenal Vibra Prime primer filler for a while now and I swear by it’s use. It’s the best time saving investment I’ve made after buying the Dillon 650XL case feeder.
here’s a quick video I put together that talks about the benefits and share some tips on how to use it effectively.
The Vibra Prime will decrease your reloading time & make it more fun to reload ammo.
You can get one on MidwayUSA for a very reasonable price ~$44.00.
Here’s a video update where I share how I designed the simplest yet most effective GoPro Hero4 Session hatcam mount for my shooting videos. Hope you find this useful! And if you make one too, share your shooting videos with me, I’d love to watch them!

Came in 2nd place at the Marysville Slot Match. Had some screw ups as usual that bumped me down the rankings.
First time using my GoPro Hero4 Session at a match. This camera is easy to use and the video quality is top notch. The only issue is the slightly anemic audio when the gun goes off. Otherwise, the mic picks up speech pretty well.
I’ve been wanting to get a new camera for my hatcam footage and have been trying out many different types of cameras. I started with a Contour, then Contour+, dabbled with the Mobius and settled with the Polaroid Cube which is a fantastic and convenient camera. It doesn’t have the best video/audio quality but it’s certainly easy to use.
Then recently GoPro announced a brand new camera called the GoPro Hero 4 Session. Same form factor as the cube BUT with much higher quality video and audio. That got me stoked and I quickly bought one when it was available.
In this video, I’ll give you my unfiltered first impressions of the Hero4 Session camera with a specific use case in mind, which is for shooting. I will be uploading more videos of me using it for a match and figuring out the best way to mount it.
enjoy!
Shot a fun match today at Paul Bunyan. They have one of the best bays that have lots of long courses which are my fav. Came in 2nd place behind TimR AS USUAL but it’s all my fault coz of mikes on 4 of the stages. Thanks to all the volunteers who help to set this match up till late last night. We shooters really appreciate it!
Ah, everything clicked for me today, all except for the classifier which is CRAP! 🙂 Walked away with a Match Win. I realized that I have to be in a stage of relaxation for me to shoot well. If I’m stressed, I’ll cave in to the pressure.
Gunbot!
