A freshly minted Front Sight in my mailbox

The Jan/Feb issue of Front Sight was in my mailbox when I returned home this evening, a tad early (its still only 2011, just).

For those that live in USPS-challenged areas of the country, allow me to tease you with the following;

There are some detailed write-ups of the IPSC World Shoot in Greece along with coverage of the first half of the 2011 Nationals (Open, L10 and Revolver).... IPSC World Champion Bob Vogel graces the cover.

Of particular interest was the article about the loss of Modified Division in IPSC (an irrational decision in my opinion). I'd love to see modified accepted into USPSA. I think its loss is a great shame.

My own write-up of the Women's match is also in there, big thanks to all the amazing women shooters who put up with the cameras over the duration of the match... as always it was a pleasure to watch you all shoot.

Roll on 2012, and onwards to an even better season.

Maybe I got an early release as I have an article in there... or perhaps I'm just special..

Anyone else got their's yet ?

Paul, you are special :D

Haven't gotten here yet, may be about 2-3 weeks from now...it's a big ocean :roflol:

Looking forward to the articles.

That is absolutely unfair. While you may well be special or at least able to write better than I can.

What do you like about Modified? Just curious.

Its trying to jam as much gun as possible into a restricted space. You can sacrifice magazine capacity for a bigger scope, to get some extra rounds with a smaller scope such as a Leupold. The guns are more challenging to shoot as well, they kick like a donkey on steroids. Some of the gunsmith work on these guns is incredible.

Modified is a ton of fun for those with an engineering bent, the guns are cool and the rules are super-simple-- Fits in the box with magazines. Anything else goes. .40 or larger for Major.

But, they're also high strung little beasties...

Rumor has it some of the big Euro matches will 'unofficially' recognize Modified for a while yet.
