I checked the stages on the USPSA site and they look pretty good. The weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow, I know I'll have a good time.

We will be seeing: 06-04 Fluffy's Revenge 1 99-62 Bang and Clang 09-04 Pucker FActor 99-11 El Presidente 08-03 Six 09-08 Crackerjack Wish me luck. Ken

Good time, weather was mild.

OK as long as it is the same caliber and division.

Thanks.

Hopefully my shooting and camera skills will improve.

Any shooting match is fun. Unless you visit the Dairy Queen.

Since Sept has 5 Saturdays this year, we are having a qualifier on that day. What kind of stages can I expect? Are they different from normal USPSA matches? Thanks, Ken

At our monthly matches we frequently have stages where targets are shot while the shooter is moving. Sometimes walking forward, sometimes backing up. And sometimes in a side motion.

Nothing like the smell of gunpowder and poo on a warm summer morning. I've got my combination sunscreen/bug spray for the pesky insects.

Video from this weekends match.

Around 50, we had 5 squads with about 10 shooters per squad. Had some interesting and some tough stages. http://orsaap.com/USPSA%20page.htm Our IDPA two weeks ago had around 115 shooters.

I had previously mention perhaps quitting in February. Issues with slow match times etc. Sat out March, April and May due to a broke leg. Returned today and quite an improvement. Match had approximately the same number of shooters as last time, but the time was about 1 1/2 hours shorter. Had fun. Video to come later.

Broke my leg in March, finally able to start back shooting. Had fun. Here I am keeping score. Limping a little, but it's better than being stuck at home.

Two blondes were sipping their Starbucks when a truck went past loaded up with rolls of sod. "I'm going to do that when I win the lottery," announced Blonde #1. "Do what?" asked Blonde #2. "Send my lawn out to be mowed."

Here it is - how does it apply to taking a sight picture with a loaded handgun - and placing your finger in the trigger guard.? It applies if you have your finger inside the trigger guard and you are not making ready and lowering the hammer.

Wouldn't 10.5.9 cover this?

I find it disturbing that the MD would allow a squad without a certified RO. Maybe they should have combined into larger squads. This is an important safety issue.

IDPA match yesterday. First time with camera, forgot it on, on a few stages. Hectic day, 125 shooters over 7 stages. Videoed 4, got in some SO time. Our squad had an abundance of people willing to paste targets/set steel, and more than enough willing to keep scores. Had one slow group, but all in all, it was a good day. ORSA is located next to the city's waste-water treatment plant. Sometimes in warm weather, it can be odoriferous. Yesterday, there was also an angry skunk somewhere nearby. Ken

Reshoot?

You mean like people loading magazines on the firing line?

This probably more than anything is what we need to have happen. Have an order, call it out and get cracking. It sucks to be on a stage with 12 targets and 8 steel and see one person maybe two taping (the same ones each time) time after time. Sure this is a social game, to a point, but if you stand back all day and don't help, don't complain if the match either takes a real long time to complete or it goes away. I actually enjoy pasting. Gives me a chance to see some nice groups. You can also plan your strategy, without stopping and air gunning. Ken

Oh, I forgot to mention, stages are posted on the net, usually about two weeks before the match. After cooling myself a bit, I will try to see if the problem can be solved by simply shooting in a different squad. Ken
