Need to know if anyone in the midwest is going to have a special classifier late in the season...like between now and October...Please advise. Hoping someone gets a bug up their rear and decides to do so. Jeff F…

I'm going to resurrect an old post from the 3 Gun Forums because perhaps it doesn't always get the same readership there as here. In the USPSA/IPSC rules Forum there has been a discussion about the value of Forward Fa…

kdj Jul 15 2004, 09:58 AM I'm a little naive in this space since I *don't* experiment more than I absolutely have to with a load - and would probably buy factory ammo if someone would just make a perfect load…

Loves2Shoot Jul 9 2004, 04:00 PM Posts like this: For normal IPSC targets at 1 to 25 yards, I think it's a mistake to divide them into groups, like from 0-7 yards, 7-15 yards, and 15-25 yards, for example, and t…

A post about point shooting got me thinking about why I don't do it anymore. I was stuck in A class for years, some of my mentors insisting that point shooting was "the trick" to blazing fast times, so I pursued that …

Erik Warren May 4 2004, 07:31 PM When shooting weak hand, should you ride the thumb safety? I'm starting to think that's what's causing my horrible WH shooting. Something is making me "grip" the safety rather…

Been practicing for that 50 yard stage at Area 4 a bit. Not hard core - but dabbling a bit. The first time limit is pretty tight for a limited gun. 5 Seconds for a draw, 3 load 3 at 50 yards. So my question is…
