2025...what a year. This is the first year in a VERY long time that I can truly say I had a good year. I had probably the worst year of my life last year. I graduated high school 4 months early, moved out before anyone else graduated, and tried adulting out for a change and oh boy did life hit me right in the face extremely hard. I ended up really not ok mentally and was debating whether or not life was worth it anymore. and then .@HavocTwoOne gave me a reason. USPSA. he posted a match and some dryfire and it looked so extremely fun I just HAD to try it out. one thing led to another and I was connected with .@KingWash1789 who quickly became a coach to me in almost all aspects of my life. I made the decision to chase after a newfound dream to become the greatest competitive shooter to ever compete. Shortly after a group formed of some of the greatest people on this planet who I am HONORED to call my friends and family .@ParkerGeurin .@VLanningham03 .@OGPancake07 .@gctactical .@ak_m_training .@Nox1040533 .@JoshShoots .@maxwellraybaker .@srsattern These people helped me and motivated me throughout my year to chase my goals. I finally stopped feeding myself lies about my health and lost over 100lbs in 7 months. I very quickly made GM in Carry Optics in an extremely fast time from my very first match. I went to multiple major matches and met some AMAZING people who helped continue to build me up instead of tearing me down. I traveled to meet my new friends in person and made some of the best memories of my life on that trip and I am anxious to hang out with them again. This is only a short write up compared to what I could all type out but I wont take anymore of your time. Thank you to all who made this year an amazing year for me and I am extremely excited to see what 2026 has in store for us!

@TommyFaceOnFire @KingWash1789 Not this year. I will be at every area match next to you though.

@nuttymaxwell @KingWash1789 Can’t wait. Don’t suppose you’ll be at Area 1?

Mike is the third person on X to claim his spot in the pistol fundamentals class in April! Happy to add him to the list. He had a schedule issue and had to re do his 7 days of dryfire and it didn’t stop him. Well done brother 🫡

@TommyFaceOnFire Gonna be a great class for sure. I’ll be hosting classes all over later this year and next year as it’s @KingWash1789 so don’t worry. We’ll be up that way one day

@nuttymaxwell As much as I love Montana this makes me wish I were still out East.

@nuttymaxwell They are corded. But that doesn’t help if I put them back in the hard case, then put that in a shoebox, and tuck it into my closet like a tard

I know my mental is getting bad when I start loosing stuff Guess who just found his night vision again?

@DaveEastShoots 1000% will brother. If it’s a cheap match fee like $125-$150 I’ll for sure be there

@nuttymaxwell Squad with ya boy if you shoot it lol

This years major match list is gettin BIG yall. I still have another 4 to sign up for 🔥

@Nerdgorithm Yikes. Hopefully it’s good this year then 😭

@nuttymaxwell Oh man, it was a rough one last year. My squad shot all day in 40 degrees and almost constant downpour. Only 6 or 7 of us stuck it out to the end.

@Nerdgorithm I’m excited. I’ve heard Ohio tends to be iffy weather. It was beautiful last year at A5 for me

@nuttymaxwell Thank goodness Buckeye is a little later this year. Hoping it will be a little less wet and cold.

@DaveEastShoots Is it in Nov? Maybe…no promises

@nuttymaxwell Are you shooting GA peach? They just announced it

@maxwellraybaker Plenty 

@nuttymaxwell I’m stoked! Shenanigans will be had.

@jerrycurld I KNEW IT! Too handsome is what gave it away. AI had to cook that handsomeness up

Dangit I’m Caught.

@maxwellraybaker Likewise man. I’m excited to hangout with my friends and help yall get better

@nuttymaxwell And I am honored to shoot 3 of them with you!

@maxwellraybaker Yessir!!!!

@DaveEastShoots @empirical843 🤝🫡

@nuttymaxwell Shout out to Ryan for the tips on steel on that stage haha

This felt good, crashed too hard on the second position which caused me to not shoot as soon as I should have, was out of place on the right transition targets but pulled it together at the end!

@DaveEastShoots Ah gotcha. Doesn’t look bad. Steel sequence was great

@nuttymaxwell The way I crashed my legs weren't prepared for the exit, hence the grunt to the right transition targets I had to redirect my energy. Could be some over confirmation there, I think in that moment I went from subconscious to consciously thinking about how I f'd the entry 🤣

@DaveEastShoots I dont think you crashed too hard, it looks like you were overconforming the dot a little. always put 3 shots into tux targets if your shooting on the move. solid stage plan 🫡

@nuttymaxwell 👀👀 any pointers

@Nox1040533 you got this!

@nuttymaxwell So nervous Been a long time since Ive shot a match😅

Day 371 consecutive dry fire!! Match prep
