A Perfect Match


Colt Faro, SASS #54579

Recommended Posts

Rarely does everything go exactly the way you want it to but sometimes the planets align. 

This is a compilation video of Matt Black shooting the California State Match in 2017. 

12 stage wins 

Total time over 12 stages 153.72

average time per stage 12.81

That works out to less than 2 minutes and 34 seconds shooting time for the match. 

It doesn’t seem like he got his monies worth. Lol

One other thought..... its a good thing his TO was getting paid by the hour..... :lol:

 

Good videos.   Thanks for posting.

 

Keep em smoking, Matt.

I’m glad you liked them. I haven’t put any of his videos on the wire in a long time and I hope this wasn’t a mistake this time. Lol. Have a good one Widder!

How can a proud father letting others watch an exceptional shooter/young man doing his thing be any kind of mistake?

Love seeing what is possible and would be very interested in what he is doing these days as far as training/practicing to stay in the upper reaches of the stratosphere.

Regards

Looks just as fast in person.

 

The 135.78, 10 stage match at Cassalong Hopidy’s Florida State Championship, was a pleasure to watch.

 

See Ya at Georgia State.

The kid stays pretty busy with all he has going on in his life right now. He ramps up his shooting and practice about this time of year to get ready for EOT. More live fire than dry fire now but we still don’t shoot every weekend. We do what we can though.

He is not only smooth and fast, but he handles it like a true Champion. He is humble and a pleasure to be around and will help anyone. Colt you have a right to be a proud father. Will see you and Matt at Landrun.

I don't care who you are, what gender, race or political persuasion...….what state you're from...…..whether your from the north, south, east or west....that's an absolutely amazing exposition of shooting. First and foremost, congratulations to Matt.

 

PS Kudos to the armorer who keeps the firearms in tiptop condition.

 

Hasta Luego, Keystone

I knew there was something that Matt and I had in common..... I don't shoot every weekend either.

I thought the video had been sped up until I started looking at everyone in the picture.  That's very impressive.  Very smooth with no wasted movement or fumbling.   I saw where Matt Black won the Florida State match by over 30 seconds.  Considering the competition that was there, that's really impressive.

I guess I know when I've seen a phenom--Matt Black is the real deal.  And his talent didn't fall far from the tree--his father is a whirlwind on a stage!  See you at the Georgia State Match in a few weeks, gents.

No worry Colt..Phil probably picked up some bad habits on his "tour" in Texas. :D

I never get tired of seeing him shoot. I've always wondered how I could shave off 10 seconds from my current times to get within his range. Just look at those transitions! Flawless.

 

You guys need to make your way up to Minnesota for Gunsmoke one of these times!

I tried shooting that fast in my dreams last night and fall out of bed and hit my head .Sitting on the floor I said to myself I almost beat him maybe next time. :D :FlagAm:

Fine shooting! 

Question:  I watched the fourth stage a half dozen times.  Is it me, or were there six shots from the first pistol?  It goes so fast, I really can't tell for sure.  Anyone? 

Possibly interference from another nearby stage.
