Saturday, March 8, 2014: GSSF at Caswell Ranch IDPA at H2O Fowl Farms ZSA Steel Challenge at The Range Sunday, March 9, 2014: GSSF at Caswell Ranch ZSA USPSA at ENC Firing Range IDPA at The Range Steel Challenge at Ant Hill Ben and I mentioned on episode 71 of the podcast that we might head down to H2O Fowl Farms, but that was before our friends at ZSA announced their new Steel Challenge match, …

John Z. from the Zombie Shooters Association let me know this morning that he has purchased a full set of steel challenge steel, and the ZSA has submitted the paperwork for an upgrade to be an official Steel Challenge club in addition to USPSA. Post by Zombie Shooters Association of America. This is great news, If you’ve been listening to the podcast for any length of time, it seems like whenever Steel Challenge gets brought …

Snooker is a game that is much more obviously about a good leave than 8-ball. By the same token, USPSA is a game much more obviously about speed than IDPA. But of course, in both sports, accuracy and speed (and power, DVC) are important. Let me back up for a second. After playing APA competitive 8-ball for a few months, I stumbled on snooker, another “cue sport” played with many more balls on the table …

In the past week I’ve received a couple of emails from podcast listeners who have recently tried competitive shooting for the first time. They both said they had a great time, and that’s really what it’s about. Todd wrote in first, and he had this to say about his first competitive shotgun “flurry” match. I’d never heard of a flurry, but it sounds like a LOT of fun (emphasis mine): The lessons I came away …

Good luck to everyone shooting the NC Section match this weekend! Shoot fast and straight! I’ll be in site Friday morning, and some time on Saturday. I believe Ben will be up there shooting Friday, and working a stage on Saturday and Sunday. If you see on of us, say hey!

Since I’ll be missing this week’s podcast due to 1) being in Virginia and 2) being replaced by the awesome Humble Mechanic, I couldn’t help wrapping up my thoughts on the RRRC USPSA match this weekend. Before we roll the tape, a little back story: three weeks ago, I shot the Sir Walter Gun Club USPSA match in Creedmoor, NC and sucked. Bad. The culmination of it all was the classifier stage where I was …

If you are looking to get started the action shooting sports, check out this “Intro to USPSA” class being held at Low Country Preserve in Tabor City, NC on Sunday 8/18/2013 from 1-4PM The price is $50 John Zaczek is the instructor for the class, and he’s one of the best shooters I know, as well as being one of the safest. Many years ago, John walked me through my first shooting competition, and he’s …

You may have noticed that I’m shooting a lot more USPSA recently than I have been in the past. This isn’t because I dislike IDPA, but because I’m trying to improve as a shooter. In almost 4 years of shooting IDPA, I’m to the point where I’m almost an IDPA Master, which is, in my opinion, a little misleading. My first USPSA classification just came in a couple days ago, and I classified C class …

On Saturday I headed up to Sir Walter Gun Club in Creedmoor, NC to meet up with Ben, and some other friends for the monthly USPSA match. You may have noticed that I haven’t posted any match videos in a while, and that is because I got too fat. Well, I’m down 30lbs now, so here we go. We shot 7 stages, and about 175rds. All but one of the stages required a bit of …
