Competition

I am just getting home from the low-light Action Pistol match at the Wake Co. Firearms Education and Training Center. Tonights match consisted of two stages with low light, that were shot using either a handheld flashlight, or a weapon-light attached to the pistol. I prefer a weapon-light, so I attached my Streamlight TLR-1 to my Glock 24, and shot the match with that. The first stage consisted of 3 IPSC targets at 7 yards. …

I just spent some time compiling about every action shooing sport that I could think of in the Triangle area, and adding them to a Google Calendar. Check the link here, and you can then add this to your own Google calendar, or you can just keep coming back here, and checking it. I tried to embed it, but WordPress is being picky. If I missed anything, let me know, I’ll get it added. There …

Just throwing out a quick plug for the Tarheel 3-gun match. This is a monthly 3-gun shooting match held at Durham Rifle and Pistol Club (DPRC) in Haw River, NC. This match was recently visited by 3 Gun Nation, and they will be participating in some more 3GN events, and whatnot. Check them out for some of the best 3-gun shooting in the state! Tarheel3gun.com

Last night a couple of us headed down from Raleigh to the Wake Co. Firearms Education and Training Center for the monthly Action Rifle match. I have recently added some Quick Detach sling swivels to my rifle, and was excited to shoot with a properly attached sling, as I had been running the sling literally tied around the free float rail for a couple months. Anyways, we had a great turnout, and many good shooters …

I’ve been noticing a disturbing trend lately, and that trend is stories about people being shot on the news, and the reporters saying some BS line about the firearm “just going off!”. Sorry folks, firearms don’t “just go off”. They go off, when someone pulls the trigger. When Plaxico Burress shot himself, it was all over the news about how his [gasp] Glock [/gasp] went off in his pants. I’d be willing to bet that …

Yesterday I headed up to Caswell Ranch for an IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) shooting match. I used to shoot IDPA quite frequently, but over the past year or so, I have begun to shoot more multi-gun matches and less IDPA and other pistol only matches. This was my first time at Caswell Ranch (usually shoot IDPA at The Range, in Oxford, NC), and I was very impressed with the facility. Lots of well built …

On December 3, 2011, I had the opportunity to shoot a match at Range 37psr in Bunnlevel, NC. They hold a monthly match known as the “Infidel Gunfighter League”. The premise is that the match focuses more on sound tactics, than just on time, and points down like some other games. I must say before getting too far into this, I am a gamer. I am not an LEO, I’m not, nor have I ever …
