Does anyone have any good advice for the best way to break down stages if you are shooting single stack, major, in a uspsa match?
Break them down by 8's Kelly.....and have plenty of mags.
I had planned to have 6 mags. Is that enough?
yes.
tip #1; dont fear the slide lock reload. In other divisions, its almost a bad thing to let the gun go dry. In SS, its often necessary.
Likewise, dont be afraid to shoot only a few targets and then perform a reload, like if there are only two paper and then a good bit of movementto the next position. It might be a good idea to drop a mag with 4 or five rounds in it and start fresh with the next position/array. Be a deadeye on the steel; we dont have rounds to just throw downrange, and if you dont throw extra shots on a stage, its way easier to stick to the plan you chose.
Good Luck!

There are some great videos of some of the top ladies breaking down stages at this years SS nationals on YouTube. womenofuspsa's channelThe women of USPSA also have a facebook page that they post a lot of interesting info on.
As I break things down differently, my I suggest just to shoot to your strengths. Know your abilities and where the edge is for you. Take one step back from the edge and play all day. And if you practice play on the edge until you fall, then work to move the edge. later rdd
That is really good stuff. Those videos are good. Thanks guys!
