2024 USPSA Production Optics Nationals - Christian Sailer

At the end of June, I traveled to Marengo, Ohio for the Carry Optics Nationals to defend my title. Things were going exactly as planned. I came out and shot my points at a competitive pace and found an early lead. Unfortunately, some equipment that has historically been rock solid for me failed. These things happen to everyone, and this one happened during my match. I switched to my backup on the last day, but I was too far behind. This is a disappointing result for me, because if my equipment had worked we’d have a different outcome. 🦛 I’ve been trying to get a match up with Eric since I was 19 years old, so I am disappointed that my equipment held me back in this match. After the match, I accepted his invitation for an immediate rematch in Ecuador. Upon arrival he chose to shoot a different division for personal reasons. Hopefully we’ll get another opportunity to compete together soon. It’s always more exciting to shoot with some of the best in the world. I am certain of the outcomes I can create and am looking forward to my next competition. The championship mindset that has gotten me to where I am today will never leave. I am so proud of the work I’ve put in over the years and especially this training camp. These past matches and experiences have truly made me the best and most confident version of myself. It’s kind of funny how that works :) I will continue to carve my path in this sport and keep staying 100% me. I am thankful to all those that know what’s up, love, and support me ❤️. I am so blessed and grateful. #makeithappen #1
