Episode 235 - Production Optics

No it's not a full legal division yet. USPSA is just thinking about it now and urging folks to beta test this concept. It's a proposal for a division that makes use of a red dot optic on carry/range guns which is becoming a pretty popular thing recently.
Larry is in a way very passionate about USPSA adopting this concept and discusses the advantages it could bring for the sport of practical pistol shooting. If you have any comments and feedback, discuss this with us on the comments section or on Facebook.

Episode 243 - National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) Classification System

Steve dives into the details of the National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) Classification System. It is similar to USPSA's classification system but is a slightly more accurate measure of an individual's performance because it does not have specific classifier stages. It takes match results to form the basis of this classification system.
You can find out more about NSCA here : http://www.nssa-nsca.org

Episode 254 - Prize Table Stuff

Most of us has experienced this, we've paid good money to go shoot a big match, be it IDPA or a USPSA Level 2+ match and although had lots of fun, didn't place well in the match. We look forward to the prize table. In IDPA, the prizes are given randomly whereas in USPSA, the prizes are given depending on your final placement. We've all gotten lots of stuff, from bags, to muzzle brakes to certificate for bullets. Rick got to walk the prize table at the recent Washington State IDPA Championships and got a few things he'd like to share with us. A BCM Gunfighter charging handle, UnderTech Undercover holster shirt and a Calbico Channel Cleaning tool.
