IPSC

Last night my son Tyler and I finished the first 100 rounds (pictured below) of hand-loaded ammunition just in time for this weekends first ever Steel Challenge match at the Texarkana Gun Club.

Even though it's not quite over yet, you won't hear me griping about that long, hard winter we've had. Except for still being just too dry around here, it's been a pretty darn mild winter so far. So no excuses on why I haven't been out practicing more, other than Christmas eating all my shooting funds.

Steel Challenge update: Two weekends ago we headed south to Longview, TX for the “Steel Challenge” match at the East Texas Rifle and Pistol Club. As predicted, fun was in fact had by all.

What a day! Not our biggest turn out of the year with only 26 shooters for the Texarkana Gun Club's USPSA September match, but what a great day, and for me, my best performance yet.

Holy Targets! Where does the time go? Seems like just a couple of weeks ago I was dying in the heat of the first Saturday of August sunshine shooting the match, now it's the end of August and I'm just now getting the chance to sit down and write about it ...

I just found out that our defending club champion, Odie DeHan, is going to be MIA this coming Saturday for our monthly USPSA/IPSC match at the Texarkana Gun Club due to his participation in this weekends Rocky Mountain 3-Gun match in Raton, New Mexico.

You can have the best gun in the world, but if you don't get some range time in, chances are really good when the time comes to participate in a match or worse, defend yourself and your family, you're going to miss.

Well I shot like crap! Two major factors contributed to this, heat exhaustion and, it's too dang hot for practice. (see Shooters Log from June titled "Too Danged Hot for Practice").  Even though I'm very disappointed in my performance, or lack thereof, I still had a great time as always shooting with my friends and making new ones.

This past weekend the Texarkana Gun Club had it's monthly USPSA/IPSC match, I actually had some high hopes going into this one that I might come out of it in a much better position than last month, alas, twas not to be, again.

This coming weekend (5/7/11) is our third USPSA/IPSC Texarkana Gun Club match of the 2011 season. As I understand it, there is another area championship match going on this same weekend near Little Rock, AR so we may not have as big a turnout as we normally do.  Which come to think of it may be a great thing for lil' ol' me, maybe I'll get my first division win! Nah, that's aiming a bit too high I

Not a great day to be shooting last Saturday, muddy and chilly, but for those of us that love our sport, any day shooting beats just about anything else. For such a nasty day we had a pretty good turnout for the Texarkana Gun Club's first USPSA/IPSC match of 2011...

Wish me luck peoples! This weekend is the opening weekend of our local Texarkana Gun Club USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association) / IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation) Match. I shot in one of these last season and just fell in love with the sport immediately ...
