Not sure if this is the right place for this info but: US IPSC Nationals has been canceled for 2020. Official announcement on USA's website, fb and event fb page. We'll be back in 2021 with hopefully no damned Rona!

I welcome feedback from customers. If you question my integrity you damned bet I'm going to call you on it. Sounds like you're new to shooting at USA. We will test you and one of my goals is to present target presentations no one has ever seen. Not an easy goal, but a goal. 600yd steel at Multigun, don't think its been done before. 400yd paper at multigun, don't think its been done before. 52 yard swinger for PCC, don't think its been done before. Steel pendulum no shoots at LoCap, don't think its been done before. How do you know an 1100 round is leading edge? Without knowing the speed of the swinger? Plus your distance is wrong. And I don't know the speed of the swinger.....so I'm highly doubting you do. I don't care what seems weird or odd to you. I'll extend to you my standing offer to anyone you may not be aware of. 12 days prior to a major you are welcome to come to the range and see what happens. Caveat is you have to do what I do....for all 12 days. I've yet to have a taker on the offer.

I thought guaranf@(kinteed was pretty clear. But to answer your direct question, that is exactly what I'm telling you. I am the stage designer, I built it with basically one other guy, our employee. Had couple other dudes at the end nailing stuff down. It was in the multigun match the week prior. Different presentation but same distance. I missed it then also but with .223 from prone. I'm all for your other ideas, you find a way to get $10K to the winner and I'll help. But I take exception to anyone questioning the integrity of myself or the match.

I used to be pretty active here...many moons ago. Just checking in on Nationals stuff so i feel compelled to chime in. I'm all for your Billion dollar ideas. I say go for it, I'll help where and if I can. I used to think that way also, but you're missing the point that competition shooters are way less than one percent of the industry. But I still support your efforts should you make any. If you come to a National Match not zero'ed, that's on you. As you said most folks zero the PCC inside 25 and we had 25 available to confirm. That should be all you need. I run a 20 which matches up at 50 with my ammo. I know this as I've tested it. I own Universal Shooting Academy. I own that swinger. I built that stage. I don't know the speed of the swinger, it's for sure one of our slower ones. But having never in 20 years of shooting shot a 50 yard moving target with 9mm I know enough about ballistics that you probably couldn't aim at the A zone and hit the target with 9mm under 1000fps. I guarantee you not a single person shot that target with a PCC prior to the start of the staff match Thursday. Guaranf*#kingteed. So someone is lying. Your "locals" you didn't name, or you. Sorry you didn't finish 3rd.

These tips are all surprisingly accurate!! Though I think the range food is decent.....for range food. Except that one time the burger meat wasn't cooked. lol As far as hauling ammo, you can ship to the range. Universal Shooting Academy Your Name / LoCap Nats 4330 Hwy 630 E Frostproof, FL 33843 I try to keep up with social media, I have fallen off Enos. Will try to get more active here again. But we have a metric S ton of matches and I do my best to keep information flow going. Follow Universal on FB and you can always hit me direct with questions. SmittyFL@Gmail.com

Still room on Saturday in the match. You don't want to miss this!!

We are at about 145 entries currently. Would love another 20 or 25 more. If y'all could spread the word for me and trump up the match a bit in your revolving circles.....ha!! get it?!?! I'd appreciate. I think we have some cool stages put together. Prize table is coming together. Have quite a few guns....though some of them are square. Food vender is pretty solid, full on staff, looking to put on a good show for the shooters. Weather is looking good as well. 'Cool' front has come in, hope it's here to stay but we've been 70's to low 80's this week...pretty nice. Let me know if you have any questions, starting the build tomorrow. Shannon

Hey gang, I'm late getting this up on Enos but The Monster Match is the last weekend in October as always. Registration is open, stages and schedule posted to The Monster Match website. 8 Stages, 400+ rounds. It will be epic as always...and I have a little something special for the steel stage as usual. It's getting harder to one up myself but I've got at least one more in me. We have plenty of room on Saturday, Sunday is about full. Get signed up soon and help spread the word please! Shannon

No shoot off, that's a boiler plate range diagram. Yes on 11, 1 sec deduction for X ring hits. Squad schedule is posted also. Virtual match book will be up first of the week. Mon or Tues. http://www.universalshootingacademy.com/matches/2016-international-revolver-championship/

We do not carry that caliber at the range. I would recommend walmart (anywhere), Bass Pro/Cabellas (Orlando, Tampa), or Rural King (Lake Wales). Finished the USPSA Nationals (in a hurricane no less). Focusing on Monster and IRC now. Will have many updates on web and fb this week. Stages to post first of next week. Have most ideas in my head, just need to get them on paper. Hope to have some cool stages you will enjoy.

I thought it was cool. We did it because it's kind of the 3 marks of practical shooting history in my opinion. We started from the leatherslap days of who has the fastest draw. The classic hands up against a single opponent Bill Drill, and of course the storied El Presidente. (though this one was 12 yards) Everyone talks on the internet about how good they are at these exercises....I'm sure most practice them regularly. Thought it would be cool to see the best in the world under National pressure throw down on them. We couldn't do 3 strings as steel has to be comstock and the others are virginia. Plus that wouldn't have published draw times which I think is cool.

Just winding down from a long ass day. We changed over the stages pretty much as planned. Made some modifications to some Max Traps and other movers we thought would give us trouble in the weather. Worked long on squadding changes with those we know aren't coming, have a ton of contingencies on scheduling based on listening to the people that have no idea what they are talking about on the news. We are as prepared as I think we can be and plan for an exciting match that will forever be talked about. Hope everyone has a good match, I'm hitting the rack......early start.

If you mention Universal Shooting Academy the HI Express in Lake Wales will give you their 'best' rate. Green Gables in Lake Wales is an option if your budget is tight. It's clean but no frills. Sight in / Warm Up range will be available. Stages will be posted to our website by the 17th. I expect the round count around 350 as mentioned.

Thanks for getting this up Brad. I'll pick 8 stages from the Nationals. Likely all large field courses. We have trophies for the winners, Subway catering for lunch, probably an adult beverage for after the match. I often hate myself for doing things like this after 10 days setting up for Nationals and 6 days shooting and running it but what the hell. We're a shootin range ain't we? I think it will be fun. Will be my first USPSA match with the PCC. Come on out!! Match limited to 96 shooters.

Hi Gang, Sorry I haven't been around here much, crazy season here with all the big events coming in. We've been working all week on the stages and all but 1 are complete. We'll finish that one today. Took me 2 days just to hook up all the moving targets. Holy cow are there a lot of moving targets. Painter is coming in today to make it look pretty. Then I have to put in start positions. Troy will probably hang targets tomorrow for the first final walkthrough and stage vetting. I think the stages are pretty good, some options, plenty of accuracy, few speed shoots and timing stages. And.....plenty of movers. I'll try to get some pictures up today on our and/or Nationals facebook and I'll try to pop back in before the Open match.
