I’ve found myself using a small private shooting range in rural North Carolina all by myself recently. It’s probably the first time ever that I’ve been all alone while shooting, and this has prompted me to take some extra precautions. Unlike Tex Grebner, I’m not sure that I’d be able to fall back to my training and call my parents if I were to get hurt on the range, so I’ve been taking some precautions …

During the summer months I brought my dry fire practice into the living room, and lined up my targets across the top of the TV. This worked great, but I wasn’t able to move as much as I would have liked, so now that the weather has cooled down a bit, I spent most of the evening last night getting the garage all set up again for dry fire. All summer I just used my …

I just heard about this on Doodie Project, and it’s been making the rounds on the competition shooting circles today. Basically, the way I understand it, is that USPSA was not storing account names and passwords in a encrypted format, so when their website was hacked the hackers were able to access email addresses and account passwords for USPSA website accounts. If you use unique passwords for every different website this probably isn’t a  big …

Via Trigger Pull Photography (Go like them on Facebook) Ben shooting at the Rowan USPSA match on Saturday:

Ben pointed this out to me from my match video from Sunday’s Fun Match. You’ll notice that the pistol is just beginning to clear the holster, and I’m all leaned over, shoulders crooked, etc. I suited up with my belt, holster, and pistol last night and spent some time dry firing in the garage while trying to keep my shoulders straight on the draw stroke. Unfortunately this particular holster sits a bit higher when it’s …

I need to work on my reloads, I’m not nearly this fast: Also, look how KC and Chris Tilley (2nd and last shooters) shoot the second array of targets on the move here: The other shooters take the targets on the move too, but KC and Chris barely even slow down while moving toward the next array.

Last week in Episode 99 of the podcast, Ben and I talked about how sometimes buying some new gear can give you extra motivation to practice, which will in turn make you a better shooter. I’m pretty squared away with gear: good enough holster, good enough pistol, CR Speed belt, but I’ve been lacking on the magazine pouch side of things for a while now. Magazine pouches are such a simple thing that I’ve never …

Whenever there is a month with a 5th weekend, a bunch of the shooting ranges around Eastern NC like to have special shooting matches that they don’t host in their normal match rotation. This coming weekend is the 5th weekend, so here’s some of the matches taking place: Saturday, August 30th, 2014 USPSA Rifle at Sir Walter Gun Club Just like a USPSA pistol match, but shot with rifles. A great match to go run …

Last night on Episode 95 of the podcast, Ben introduced a new segment that we’d like to start having on the show. Its becoming a pretty common thing for us to hear from people at matches, or in emails that they shot their first shooting match and had a great time. Here’s what were looking for: What match did you shoot? (Type of match, where it was, etc.) How did it go? What did you …

Ben has been busting his tail with his shooting, and with video editing over the past couple months. Below is his latest USPSA match video where he spent much of the match working on shooting while moving. He’s also written two posts about shooting while moving recently, and I think you should check them out if you haven’t already: Part 1 Part 2 (Video Link for Email/RSS Readers)
