Every USPSA shooter has been there. You run the stage, you're feeling pretty good, and then the scores come back... Charlie–Mike.

That’s right — the dreaded “Charlie Mike”: one shot just barely hanging in the Charlie, and the other flying past the target like it had somewhere else to be. It’s a classic combo we all know (and hate). And now? He’s our mascot.

Meet Charlie Mike — The target who’s here to remind you not to take yourself too seriously. With a big smile, floppy limbs, and zero hard feelings about your misses, Charlie Mike is the spirit of fun first, ego second in competition shooting.

He’s not here to roast your stage performance (okay, maybe just a little). He’s here to say: “Hey, we all throw one once in a while. Keep it moving.”

You’ll be seeing Charlie Mike all over Red City Pro Shop. He's the face of the flinch, the ambassador of the accidental reload, and the king of "it was the sun, I swear."

So next time your hits aren’t exactly alpha-tastic, just smile, shake it off, and give a little wave to the guy who gets it.
