It was one of those competitions that makes me drive back home in silence and question my existence lol. I did really bad today! A lot of trigger freeze, clumsy reloads, slow pace, bad hits. Moreover I totally failed one of the classifier stages 🥲 I’m proud of my stage planning though, also I got much better at moving and shooting, entering and exiting positions. But anyway I don’t want to look at the scoreboard this time 🙈

Dry fire practice before the match tomorrow. If I wasn’t too lazy to do it every day I would have been a B class shooter already 🥲

Getting ready for a competition this weekend 😎 wish me luck

I’m super excited to hear that I inspire girls to try USPSA. It is a male dominated sport and usually I compete against 70-80 men. It’s a lot of pressure and I’m not surprised women are afraid to start. Today my friend Kylee joined my training and hopefully soon we will compete together 👯‍♀️

I do a lot of speed and agility training in the gym to become a better shooter. I didn’t know how important it is to learn how to properly accelerate and decelerate, move sideways etc. I hired a personal gym coach for this purpose lol 🙈 here’s a little bit of my training and a video of me competing

This Gen6 is not being nice to me 🥲 Glock improved grip texture in this generation and it’s ripping my skin so bad. I still love it though

Today I switched from G45 Gen5 to G17 Gen6 🥰 The gun is brand new so the trigger is very tight. I struggled a lot with trigger freeze today. The grip texture is very sharp too, it ripped my hand. But overall I loved it, the grip is much tighter and less bouncy than G45. I expect it to ruin my performance significantly while I’m getting used to it lol but it’s a part of the game.

Almost a year ago I joined USPSA—United States Practical Shooting Association and became a competitive shooter. I go to the range twice a week and compete almost every month. I think Nostr is the best place to share my shooting journey with you guys 😎

What a beautiful day

My favorite annual before and after! 5 years ago on this day I found my dog Ollie in the streets of Tbilisi (left pic). Ollie in the Central Park in New York on the right 🐶

Saw this from my window early in the morning and ran outside barefoot to capture it. What an incredible encounter!

My new hobby

GM

I’ll admit, I was nervous about giving a Bitcoin 101 workshop at @PUBKEY — thought New Yorkers might not be into self-custody. I was so wrong! We had a blast, and to top it off, we ended with a fun game: two groups raced to see who could donate Bitcoin to @HRF the fastest. The energy was incredible!

After my knee trauma and 3 months off I’m finally back to CrossFit! Feels heavy 🥵
