SERIOUS ABOUT HITTING
PACT Championship Timer
At the 1982 I.P.S.C. National Championship
we showed a prototype of the first serious
shooting timer to a few of the shooters there.
Folks like Mickey Fowler, Ross Seyiried, Mike
Plaxco, Brian Enos, Chip McCormick and some
kid named Robby. We asked that they tet us send
them one and, in return, that they tell us what they
liked and more importantly what they didn't like.
Their input was the bases tor our original
Championship Timer, While some new names
have been added to the list, this process continues
to this day.
Over the last decade we've had some 31
software revisions to the Championship Timer.
While many of these innovative features originated
with the 'big boy's" the majority of them came
from folks like you who used oUr products and
took the time to call or write with your criticisms
and ideas for new features. This process produced
the timer that all of the top shooters use
for their vital practice sessions_ Think about it,
these folks can have any timer they want, yet
they all train with a PACT MKIV Championship
Timer.
Who Cares?
ll's real simple. To improve, you're going to
have to practice a lot (what a surprise), While you
do this, you'll have to keep track of the tvvo elements
of marksmanship you are striving to master;
accuracy and speed. Would you consider
practicing without a target? Of course not.
Because without a target you have no feedback,
no measure of your accuracy. There tS little to be
learned by spraying bullets into the back stop. In
the same breath, without a timer you have no idea
of how long it took you to generate a given level of
accuracy. Your subjective "feel" for how long a
given drill is taking you is almost always wrong.
Without a timer you have no feedback, no way of
knowing whether or not a certain technique or
piece of equipment is helping or hurting you.
Shooting timers, like guns, are not created
equal. A training timer must do much more then
simply give you the time for your string. It must
help you analyze your shooting, in a simple
straight forward fashion, without forcing you to
endlessly iack around with it. it must also provide
you with "cue's" On both dry and live practice) to
encourage you to pick up the pace in the right
spots and slow down where you need to.
Even More Brains
The MKIV features a "Hot Key'' user Interface
which makes it easy to access our exclusive
advanced training features_ In addition, since
we've got the computing power anyway. we've
included a full function ballistic computer at no
extra cost! This will help you zero your gun to
perfection (yes you can use it to help you bag
Bambi). The MKIV also contains a lead calculator
(useful for those of us who don't have a mover in
our back yard). A rate of fire indicator for the buzz
gun folks (and those of you who think you can
whip Ed McGivern) And a cadence function for
dry fire practice. The MKIV has a huge memory to
incorporate future software upgrades. What form
will they take? You tell us!

the shooter in the top picture
on page 15. The shooter is actually
Tawn Argeris. We
apologize for the error.

missed.
LIMITED EQUALITY?
The answer to Mr. Berstein's
letter in the Jan/Feb Front
Sight about the equality between
single-stack and high-capacity
guns is another question,
why should there be equality?
Who says that the firearm/magazine
of choice has to
be equal as long as it abides by
the rules set by USPSA. In
most sports, advancement of
technology is not left behind, so
why should our sport be any
different?

overly concerned about, can

I don't believe the price of
Open/Limited guns are all that
expensive compared to other
sports such as boating, snowmobiling,
four wheelers, etc.,

shooting is. I believe shooters
should lead, follow, or just get
the heck out of the way, but in
any case quit whining.

GETTING INVOLVED
I am writing to tell everyone
how proud I am of my fellow
shooters. The weekend of November
5 and 6, the first Colorado
Ladies Charity Classic -
Handgun Event was held. Due
to the cooperation, help, support,
and work of the men and
women of Eastern Colorado
USPSA and the Boulder Rifle
Club, the event was a great success.
The event benefited the
American Cancer Society
Breast Cancer Task Force and
introduced additional women to
shooting sports and created favorable
media coverage for the
shooting sports. We are presenting
the Breast Cancer Task
Force $3,000 from the proceeds.
The event is sponsored by
Women's Shooting Sports
Foundation. Eighty-six women
shot four courses of fire with
guns provided by Smith & Wesson
and ammo provided by Federal.
For some of the women,
this was the first time they had
ever fired a gun; for others it
was the first time they had participated
in an organized shoot.
Smith & Wesson donated five
guns and American Arms donated
one gun as prizes. The
guns were awarded by drawing,

DOUBLES REVISITED
Editor's Note: We received rzumerous
responses to Wil Schuemann's article
entitled "The Probability of Doubles" in
the January 1 February 1995 Front
Sight. As we cannot print all of them,
we have chosen two typical responses to
print. We also have a response from Wil
to the letters rebutting his argument.
I think Wil Schuemann was
on the right track in his item
"The Probability of Doubles,"
(Front Sight, Jan/Feb 1995),
and in general I agree with his
conclusion ("If a hole is not
clearly a double, it probably
isn't a double."), but I think he
over-simplified the situation,
with the result that the odds
against a double looked much
higher than they actually are.
Mr. Schuemann made the assumption
that hits would be
randomly distributed over a circle
centered on the central letter
"A", and the same width as
the target. His calculations
would represent the actual
probability of a double in that
case, but we practice in order to
make that initial assumption
wrong, and give ourselves a
higher probability of hits in a
particular area than anywhere
else. Take a look at a target after
a match or a practice session;
if the hits are truly
randomly distributed there will
be no concentration of pasters
anywhere on the target. In re-

THE WORLD CHAMPION...WE MAKE WINNING AFFORDABLE!
ality, what I'm used to seeing is
the center of the "A" zone shot
away, and the pasters farther
apart as they get farther from
the center. My impression is
that for any one shooter, the
hits will be normally (as opposed
to randomly) distributed,
that is, they'll be distributed according
to the well-known bellshaped
curve, instead of spread
evenly over the target. Since
we're talking about a two-dimensional
target, we actually
have to rotate the bell curve
around the center, giving us a
3-dimensional bell with the
height of the bell at any given
distance from the center representing
the probability of a hit
at that distance from the center.
To actually determine the
probability of a double, I think
we'd need to know the mean
and the standard deviation (for

that shooter under those conditions)
of the exisfing hits, then
we could calculate the probability
of a hit at any given location.
For a good shooter, that
would probably be best applied
by calculating the probability of
a miss, then subtracting that
from one (certainty—once a
shot is fired, it will be either a
hit or a miss, there is no other
possibility). Obviously, this is
getting ugly very quickly, especially
when we think of this in
terms of a target with, at most,
two scoring hits on it. Actually,
I'm over-simplifying, too, many
shooters tend to have more
variation in one axis (vertically
or horizontally) than the other,
which changes the shape of the
distribution, and makes the calculations
a lot uglier than they
already were.
I think the real message here
is that when you're developing
a mathematical model of the
real world, the model has to be
checked carefully against reality
to see if it matches. If the
model doesn't match reality,
calculations based on the model
won't either.
Peter W. Spearing, A-28579
I salute Wil Schuemann's
analysis of the probability of
minimally detectable doubles. I
agree with his math and compliment
his ability. That said,
and sincerely said, I disagree
with all of the assumptions on
which the calculation is based.
I will address two obvious ones.
First, the calculation assumes
that hits are totally random
within an average impact area.
That is, a bullet has an equal
chance of hitting any part of the
circle. This is incorrect; hits are
not totally random throughout
the area. The shooter tries, if
imperfectly, to put them all in
the center of the A zone. Imper-

THE YEAR AHEAD-1995
We are looking forward to
the coming year and expect it
to be the best year ever for
practical shooters. The Board
of Directors has made tremendous
progress since the goalsetting
session in March
1994. Some of the specific objectives
have been reached
and the services are in place.
In Touch is filling the
monthly gap in our communication
with you. New ideas
are printed there to give you
an opportunity to have input
into policies; your feedback
gives the Board information
about what you need as members.
The USPSA computer
bulletin board is taking WOO
calls a month to
provide you with
up-to-the-minute
answers and information.
Many of the objectives
have required
more
planning and
ground work. 1995
is the year many of
the changes will reinforce
services to
the USPSA members.
Here are
some of the things
which will affect USPSA in
the near future.
USPSA TOURNAMENT

one effort to raise the general
quality of our major matches
and add to the fun.

that don't. Issues that can
make or break a match will
be discussed and shared in an
intensive day-and-a-half-long
workshop. Some of the topics
include planning, match promotion,
staffing, scheduling,
budgeting, sponsorship,
stages, lodging, and prizes.
Putting on a big match is
never easy; neither is putting
on a little match, for that matter.
We are working on finding
ways to do it even better.
== -
NEW RULES AND LIMITED
CRITERIA
The 7th Edition of the
USPSA Handbook has been
reviewed and approved by the
Board of Directors. It will be
typeset and sent to the
printer in February. The new
rules will go into effect when
they are shipped to you in
April. The first new rule book
in three years has a few
changes, but each change is
moving our sport forward. We
will make sure the new sections
are easy to find.
REVOLVERS/MODIFIED
CATEGORY
Support for revolvers has
been an on-again-off-again
situation. Now both
revolvers and 'modi-
fied' guns will be recognized
with a 'top
shooter' trophy at
the Open Nationals.
Revolvers will also
be recognized at the
Limited Nationals.
Modified has not
been widely accepted,
but a few
shooters have expressed
interest and
asked why we don't
recognize them. Both categories
are optional for match directors,
but only the
revolvers, if they meet the criteria,
can be entered in Limited.
NORTH AMERICAN
CHAMPIONSHIP
Scheduled for the week of
July 11th, the second North
American Championship will
see the formal entry of
USPSA's Men's and Women's
Page 6 March/Apri1 1995

Gold Teams. Results from the
1993 and 1994 Open Nationals
were used to calculate
team eligibility points. Men's
Gold Team positions will be offered
to Matt McLearn, Merle
Edington, Doug Koenig, Jerry
Barnhart, Todd Jarrett, and
JoJo Vidanes. Women's Gold
Team positions will be offered
to Kay Clark, Sheila Brey,
Kippi Boykin, and Sharon Edington.
Congratulations to
each of these outstanding
shooters! We are counting on
you to prove once again that
U.S. shooters dominate the
sport.
If any of the shooters are
unable to attend, the positions
will be offered to the
next in line based on accumulated
team points. The teams
will be provided with entry
fees, $500 each for expenses
and special team hats. Other
than the cap, team members
will wear their sponsor's uniforms.
For the World Match
scheduled in 1996, the point
accumulation will be recalculated
based upon placement
in two Open Championships
prior to it.
SAFE HANDGUN
COMPETITOR PROGRAM
The USPSA Club Program
Manual contains an outline to
guide instructors who are
teaching new shooters to
safely participate in our
matches. Most clubs ask shooters
to attend a safety course
or demonstrate safety skills
prior to entering competition.
Trainers use the USPSA outline
or modify it slightly to
suit their style or preferences.
The Board of Directors has
authorized the development of
a Safe Handgun Competitor
(SHC) program to better support
and train those instructors
responsible for bringing
hundreds of new people to our
sport. The program will be
based primarily on the Club
LIMCAT Anti-Glare Shield
for C-MORE Sight
S32.95
Program Manual and the Canadian
Black Badge manual.
The rough proposal, outlined
and approved, suggests
holding seminars to familiarize
instructors with the material
and present instruction
techniques. Initially, these
seminars will be presented at
larger matches to everyone
who wants to teach new shooters
and who qualifies for instructor
training. The
qualifications will probably include
at least Range Officer
certification, recommendations
from a Section Coordinator
or Club President and an
Area Director, and demonstrated
skill in relating to
first-time gun owners. There
may be a requirement to
teach two classes per year in
order to remain qualified.
Qualified instructors will
promote and schedule their
own classes and their club or
section will receive some activity
credit for each student.

USPSA will have the resources
to continue serving
those people for "life."
To offset some of the price
increase, USPSA will also add
three- and five-year memberships
beginning July 1. A
three-year membership will
cost $75, and a five-year membership
will cost $120.
The per-student fee for
NROI Level I seminars will

1 995 NATIONALS VENUES
AND DATES
A decision was made to
place the Limited Nationals
in Ban-3r, IL, September 19 to
23 (four-day match) and the
Open Nationals in Reno, NV,
October 17-20 (also a four-day
match). There may not be a
full understanding as to why
this move was made. It was
considered to be in the best interest
of both matches. Neither
match filled to capacity
in 1994. The Open match
may have been down because
of a declining interest in the
Open category, the general
economic down-turn, or the
monotony of Barry, as some
have stated. In any case, we
must keep the matches level
with demand so that being
there will still carry the prestige
associated with participating
in a national competition.
A full five-day match is expensive
and difficult to plan. Reducing
the Open match to
four days will also make it
easier for people to attend

"We'll just set up five targets,
two no-shoots, a couple
of poppers, and some pins,"
suggests an enthusiastic
match director. "This time
we'll start with the gun in
hand. It'll be a self-starter
with a par time of two seconds
and any number of restarts.
We'll give a seven
second penalty for late shots.
We'll only load six rounds at
time, make them shoot Target
3 with their weak hand, and
then require a reload. Although
the poppers can be
seen from Box A and B, they
are only eight feet away from
Box B so there will be a
match DQ if the Pepper poppers
are engaged from Box B.
But since the poppers activate
two moving paper targets,
there will be a penalty for returning
to Box A to knock
down the poppers."
"Let's make it a Comstock
course," someone else offers.

CHAMPIONSI—IIP
Story and photos by Heidi Thomas,
A-21604
Kay Clark Miculek is "Home Alone," but knows what to do.
The 1994 Limited Nationals
was a story of comebacks for
winner Rob Leatham and High
Lady Shirley Hamilton.
Leatham has won the World
Shoot three times, has seven
national titles, including the
Bianchi Cup and Steel Challenge,
and has won every major
match, except the Masters, at
least once. Coming in second
behind Jerry Barnhart at last
year's Limited Nationals,
Leatham has not garnered a
national championship for several
years. A Grand Master, he
won this year's match using a
single-stack Springfield Armory
1911 .45.
Hamilton also has several
world and national trophies on
her shelf, but this one is the
first since 1992 when she was
on the winning Chevy Chal-
lenge women's team. Placing
73rd overall with 69.07 percent,
she took the 1994 Ladies Limited
Championship shooting an
EAA Witness 40.
The Limited Nationals also
was a comeback for the kind of
shooting IPSC shooters started
out with when stock guns with
no optics or compensators were
used. "The sport has come full
circle," said Leatham. "This is
the kind of gun we started with
when I began competing in
1978. Last year I came with a
lot of equipment, and Jerry
(Barnhart) won by using his
shooting skill (with a single
stack .45)." For a long time,
Limited was fired as a separate
class at matches. "I wanted to
go for the bigger glory," he said
as he accepted his award. "But
now that it's been given national
status, it is more important
to a lot of people than
Open. At this point, it is to me,
too," he added, getting a laugh
from the audience. "It's interesting
to come back in this
form. I didn't think I was over
the hill."
Page 10 March/April 1995

Amy Gavin shoots through a window on -Moving Closer."
The main issue for Leatham
is more how it was done than
what was done. "I'd rather have
a good battle than a good win,"
he said, giving Arnt Myhre, second
place finisher overall,
credit for a match well shot.
"Long after the government has
taken our guns away, we won't
remember who won or lost, but
we'll remember the experience
of being here."
Kevin Coats of Gause, TX,
who has only been shooting for
a year, will remember the experience
of his first Limited Nationals.
"It's a blast. I'm
thinking of selling my Open
gun and just doing this." Gary
White of Euless, TX, echoed
that sentiment. "This is a lot of
fun, and it's a well-run match."

Jerry Hills of Oswego, IL, also
was shooting his first big match
after discovering the sport six
months ago. "I read about it in
a magazine, called around and
found a club nearby, and here I
am."
Many participants in both the
'93 and '94 Limited Nationals
matches expressed appreciation
for an aspect of the sport
that offers shooters a more affordable
option and provides
good fun with basic shooting for
both beginners and "old-timers."
"I didn't think they could top
last year," said Amy Gavin of
Dallas, 'TX, who has been shooting
for 18 years, "but there are
some really good stages. I don't
think I'm doing as well as I did

Vernon CT, also attended the
first Limited Nationals last
year and was back for more fun.
"I've really enjoyed it," said
Yost, who has been shooting
since he was five, and shoots
demos for the Smith & Wesson
Performance Center Team.
Just because the concept of
"back to basics" is simpler
doesn't make shooting Limited
easier. Bobby Spradlin, Arkansas
State Champion after one
year of shooting IPSC, was enjoying
the match, but admitted,
"It's tough." Shirley Hamilton
pointed out that after a person
gets a little older, the eyesight
is not as sharp, and the dot on
optics makes shooting a little
easier. The two shooting disciplines
are "totally different.
Both have their plusses and
their minuses, but both are a
lot of fun," she said. Shirley and
her husband, Bill, started out
shooting stock guns, so they

Sharon Edington, who won
Top Woman honors and married
Merle Edington right after
the awards banquet in 1993,
finished second this year, shooting
a Para-Ordnance .45.
One person who is as much a
fixture at the major matches as
Rob Leatham is his dad, Nyle,
a professional photographer.
Nyle says he has over the years
tried to remove himself from
the emotional aspect of seeing
his son compete. "I don't get
that excited about it anymore,"
he said as Rob shot his last
stage, appearing to have won
the match. Then his face broke
into a huge smile. "But sometimes...Yeah!"
he said.
The second Limited Nationals
match attracted 289 shooters,
including 18 women. It featured
10 stages, with a variety
of scenarios. Stage 1 was called
"Kitchen Help" and began with
the shooter standing at a
kitchen "window," gun on the
stove top and hands on the oven
handle. A flashing light started
each of three strings that included
engaging three targets
with two rounds each, first
shooting freestyle, then with
strong hand and weak hand

while wearing an oven mitt on
the opposite hand. Winners of
this stage were Todd Jarrett
and Kay Miculek.
Stage 2, "Three Up—Three
Down," was a nemesis for many
shooters. At the start signal,
the shooter drew and from a
standing position engaged the
upper parts of three targets,
mostly hidden by no-shoots,
with two rounds each. After
making a mandatory reload,
the shooter engaged three more
partial targets peeking out below
the no-shoots from a prone
position and through a barrel.
String two reversed the order
and started with the lower targets
first. Arnt Myhre and
Sharon Edington turned in the
high scores for this stage.
Stage 3, "Pinball Wizard" was
a colorful field course personally
decorated with various
posters by CRO Rosie Rosel.
The shooter started with his
strong hand on the doorknob,
and at the start signal, engaged
three targets and a Pepper popper
from behind the threshold.
Moving on to a second doorway,
the competitor engaged three
more targets with two rounds
each, then moved forward to a
wall to engage five targets, two
poppers and two plates. Several
targets and plates appeared
from behind cover when other
targets were engaged. Stage

USPSALIIVIITED NATIONALS SURVEY
At each National
Championship, USPSA
surveys the participants to
learn what type of equipment
they use, where they stay,
and whether they rent a car.
This information is used to
show our sponsors and the
businesses in the Reno area
the value of supporting
USPSA events. In addition,
some of our sponsors use
this data to award prizes for
using their equipment.
In 1993, the typical competitor
at the Limited Nationals
shot a Para-Ordnance .45 ACP
pistol with Bo-Mar sights and
factory magazines. His leather
was from Safariland. He reloaded
his ammo on a Dillon
press with jacketed bullets that
weighed more than 130 grains

and Winchester powder. He
rented a car and stayed at the
Peppermill in Reno.
The typical competitor in
1994 shot a .45 ACP based on a
Para-Ordnance frame with factory
magazines and Bo-Mar
sights. Safariland was again
the overwhelming choice for
leather gear, and he loaded his
ammunition on a Dillon 550
press with 200 grain cast bullets
and Winchester powder.
This year our typical shooter
flew to Reno, rented a car, and
stayed at the McCarran House.
Only one competitor shot a revolver
in 1994. Another notable
change was that in 1993 the
majority of shooters used jacketed
bullets, but in 1994 cast
bullets outnumbered jacketed.

PRACTICAL REALISM IN COURSE DESIGN
by Federico Ramirez-Mitchell, F-28705
As everybody knows, course
design is one of the key parameters
in practical shooting. Three
of the IPSC principles refer to
practicality and realism, with
Principle 6 being the main objective
for course designers. In
providing diverse, fun and challenging
stages, however, de-

signers must confront an everpresent
dilemma: too much realism
would be boring, and too
much fun would be unrealistic.
Keeping a proper balance becomes
a challenging job in itself.
As with so many other jobs
in the world of sports, imagination,
experience, knowledge and
responsibility build up the ideal
designer's profile. Unlike the
P.O. Box 154, White Bird, Idaho 83554
majority of other sport disciplines,
practical shooting tests
your defensive skills in a sporting
atmosphere and develops a
high degree of proficiency in the
use of a handgun.
Because of that, simulation of
reality must be acknowledged,
understood and always intended
in the design process.
Range safety, time and space,
public image, and an affordable
budget are all important considerations
that usually limit
the free flow of the designer's
imagination toward the intended
objective. Keeping in
mind the above premises, the
purpose of this article is to exchange
a few thoughts about
course design with fellow shooters
and designers, especially
beginners, derived from my experiences
in Argentina as a
shooter and a designer and
from lessons learned from
Steven Bernstein, Richard Dennis,
Rick Miller, Peter Dayton,
Paul Payne, and Andy Hollar.
Let's generate an argument, a
story or a scenario that justifies
the configuration of targets, noshoots
and props that we will
use. As a general guide, this
can be accomplished by following
these suggested steps:
1. Imagine a near real-life
situation, or
2. Mentally rehearse an
armed encounter that really
happened (press coverage).
The situation must be reasonable
(logical and credible),
likely and possible. If we are going
to rehearse something, it
must also be useful (to test defensive
skills), acceptable (can
we afford the cost?), and interesting.
3. Model the situation by tailoring
and framing it to adapt
and adjust the influence of
known limitations: available re-
Page 24 March/April /995

sources, time, and the competitive
character of the sport.
What we actually do is nothing
more than build a simulation of
reality.
4. Draft the whole idea as a
trial scenario.
5. Interchange ideas and
opinions with other club members
who know about course design.
Keep an open mind.
6. Redraft the stage into the
final form.
7. Document it, beginning
with the stage layout and the
corresponding instructions.
Generally, the fourth step,
"Draft the whole idea...," tends
to be a little complex at first
because we don't have so much
experience in the field. Consultation
is mandatory, and the
learning process starts, and
never ends. Always seek advice
and counsel; nobody is perfect.
Remember that the appeal of
this sport lies in the diversity of
the courses of fire available to
the shooter (Principle 7). You as
a course designer can enhance
the challenge and interest of
this sport through better and
safer courses.
The "architects of our sport,"
as Mr. Bernstein justly calls designers,
perform a critical activity
that affects the growth and
survival of practical shooting.
And I agree.

So you want to shoot IPSC?
Congratulations! You will have
more fun and excitement than
you have ever experienced in
any other type of shooting competition!
Have you gone to a local
USPSA match and seen people
shooting incredibly fast and accurately?
If you were like us,
you probably felt a little intimidated,
but deep down inside
you would love to be able to do
the same thing, and maybe
even beat them. You know you
can—it just takes dedication,
practice, hard work, practice,
forgetting about everything else
in your life (just kidding,
maybe), practice, a little bit of
luck, and /ots of practice. Once
you've decided to accept the big
challenge and try your first
match, you'll be hooked.
The first big decision you will
face is whether to shoot in Limited
or Open category. Either
choice is the right one, so don't
be afraid of making the wrong
decision. If Limited category
were equated with stock car
racing, then Open category
would be the Indy 500.
The difference between competing
in Limited or Open is the
gun you use. Basically, the
same holsters, magazines (for
the most part), belts, mag
pouches, and the like can be
used for either category. Most
new shooters prefer to start in
Limited with whatever firearm
they have handy. It could be a
revolver, any of the high capacity
9mm's, or a revered Government
Model .45. Initially, you
simply need a pistol that you
are comfortable shooting, a holster,
belt, mag pouches, and eye
and ear protection. You will
probably want four magazines
IN THE BEGINNINTG
that you have tested in your
pistol and can trust to work reliably.
Add 100 rounds of ammunition,
and you should be
ready for your first match. Go
to the range early, talk to the
match director, and listen to
some of the other competitors.
They have a wealth of 'Knowledge
they will share with you.
Everyone wants new shooters
to enjoy their first few matches
so that they will want to come
back and, hopefully, relay to
their gun-enthusiast friends
what a wonderful sport IPSC
really is. It's the only way our
great sport can continue to
grow.
In future issues, some of the
topics we will discuss will be
Limited vs. Open competition
and the equipment needed for
each, ammunition and compo-
nents, good practice drills, and
tips about how to prepare for
your first major competition.
By the way, let us introduce
ourselves.
Merle is the 1994 USPSA
Open National Champion and
has finished in the top five at
the last two USPSA Limited
Nationals. He is also a member
of the U.S. Army Marksmanship
Unit.
Sharon was the 1993 USPSA
Ladies Limited Champion, a
member of the 1990 USPSA Ladies
Gold Team that competed
at the IPSC World Shoot in
Australia, and now a member
of Team Colt.

1994 PENNSYLVANIA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
by Terry Zortman, L-1381

like "This stage ought to

questions like "How are we supposed
to shoot that target?" answered

nary match. That match was
the 1994 Pennsylvania State
Championship. It was dedicated
to the memory of Edward
E. Demey, who passed away
two weeks before the match. Ed
will be missed by all who luiew
him as a fellow competitor, RO
and friend.
Milford Lovett Jr. topped the
field of 215 competitors. G-eorge
Cote11 took the award for High
Open Pennsylvanian, and
Robert Shaffer took the High
Limited Pennsylvanian award.
At the PA State Championship,
a plywood box called a
helicopter would not suffice, instead
you rode a scale Bell helicopter.
A porch swing referred
to as an amusement ride may
cut it elsewhere, but during the
first weekend in October in Lewisberry,
PA, only a complete
ferris wheel would do.

But cosmetics were not the
entire focus of the match.
Match Director Michael Zlogar,
Sights Practical Pistol Shooters,
and other area clubs combined
talents to produce an
eight-stage pistol match
and a shotgun match
which included complex
shooting situations. Although
it was challenging
to the Master,
shooting options made
stages manageable for
the novice competitors
too.
The practical use of
natural range layout
was masterfully used on
Stage 1, "B.C. Park Hijinx."
A winding,
wooded path was used
to simulate a multipletarget,
no-shoot-packed
park. Tim Mihalko, co-stage designer
with Mike Zlogar, said
their goal was to have a closeprcadmity,
15-target stage with
shooting "on the move" over the

found the stage simple yet

was the key. Scott Strang
swiftly navigated the stage to

gets made it a challenge. Stage
designers Richard Dennis and
"Gunner" Gross made shooting
safely on a complex stage their
emphasis. Competitors
started on a ladder and
stepped either left to a
steel array or right to a
paper array, each
through large shooting
ports. After that initial
decision, the competitor
moved through the
port, shot the unen-
gaged array and then
proceeded to a ported
barricade. After engag-
ing four targets from
the barricade, the
shooter moved to a cov-
ered low port and a
small round port to en-
gage the remaining targets.
The judicious use of no-shoots
and quick gravity turners in-
creased the degree of difficulty.

to be a difficult target array.
The guys from Team Jerk (Factoryville
Sportsman Club) designed
a scenario where the
competitor as a bodyguard provided
protection for a "useful
person." Stage designer Barry
Ruane said the focus was "to
make a single-stack neutral
stage which combined speed,
power, accuracy, and ruthless
efficiency." Michael Mardando
displayed that "ruthless efficiency"
as he won this stage.
Stage 4, "Save Mr. Ted," had
a distinctly feminine touch as
Chris Cressler and Mary Bates
contributed to the design of this
stage. Mary suggested that the
color scheme and "teddy" stencils
were definitely from their
female perspective. The stereotypical
hunk poster and fetal
bear hugging start position
must have also been contributions
from this duo. Along with
this distinctive appearance, a
challenging set of target arrays
contained multiple 8-inch
plates backed with no-shoot
targets. Three shooting ports,
two of which were prone, made
smooth movement and steady

shooting imperative. Bob
Gabriel topped the stage Saving
Mr. Ted.
Mike Dolan and the members
of PPSA came up with what
Mike described as a real "club
effort" in Stage 5, "Office
Party." Office Party was a
memory game with seven ports,
each with multiple targets and
enough swingers to keep everyone
honest. Mike's design philosophy
is "On signal, draw and
engage targets IN ANY OR-
DER," leaving the "shooter to
figure out the shooting problem."
Shooters liked the stage
with its hoser areas yet with
enough target movement to
slow down the top shooters. On
Office Party, shooters retrieved
their guns from a table and engaged
steel and paper targets
through window-like ports
down a winding hallway. This
was the highest round count
stage of the match with a minimum
34 shots required. Barry

POCKET PRO TIMER
FROM COMPETITION ELECTRONICS
Ron Bailey presented me with
one of his new, small timers
and let me give it the acid test.
Built to sell for about a hundred
bucks, the Pocket Pro timer is
a great little machine. It measures
only 3 by 4-1/4 inches and
is about 1-1/2 inches thick. I
think it's going to be one of my
favorites.
My first 'personal' favorite
was a Pro Timer II, also from
Competition Electronics. It was
simple to operate, yet complete
enough to do everything I
needed. I had to quit using it,
not because it failed, but because
a friend unknowingly
changed out the rechargeable
battery which is now unavailable.

power off feature when it hasn't
been used for a while. This is
not an uncommon feature, but
is certainly welcome. Even after
it turns off it still remembers
the last shot string and any par
times you've set. Another obvious
improvement over the Pro
Timer II is the size of the display.
I guess Ron figured I
needed a larger display to go
with my older eyes. The Pocket
Pro has the same deep start
tone that can be easily heard by
people with bad ears.
This timer is simple to operate.
You turn the power on by
pressing a button, and when
the shooter is ready, just press
the start button on the side.
That's the basic method of operation
and probably the way
you'll use the timer 98 percent
of the time, but it has more advanced
features as well.

A slide switch gives you the
option of instant or random delayed
start. With random delay
selected, the timer will sound
between three and five seconds
after the start button is
pressed. Other buttons let you
set par times or review each
shot of the shooter's string. If
you have a stage with a stop
plate you can connect the timer
to a normally closed switch to
stop the time when the plate is
knocked down. I've also used vibration
switches Telcroed' to
the back of a steel IPSC target
to detect hits with .22 rimfire,
but that's another game.
I think you'll like the Pocket
Pro. From it's sturdy clip to the
compact size to the back-to-basics
operation, its a gem. Give

y Brian Enos, A-387
A week or so before the Autumn Classic, I got
a call from Chepit Dulay who was wondering if
I would be attending the Asian Championship
held in the Philippines. Apparently my invitation
was still floating somewhere in the Pacific Ocean
because I had no clue whatsoever about the
match. Since I'd have to change all my equipment
around to comply with international IPSC
rules for Limited Class and I'd have to leave on
the Sunday the Autumn Classic concluded, I figured
why not! I've always wanted to check out
the Philippines anyway. After some quick arrangements
with Chepit getting the proper permits
faxed, I was ready to head East—or head
West to get to the East.
While I was waiting for my bags at the airport
in Cebu, I was met by a local guy who introduced
himself as Troy and said he was shooting the
match also. Being the observant type, I quickly
spotted the "Customs Official" name tag on his
shirt and breathed a huge sigh of relief. As anyone
who has traveled internationally with guns
knows, customs can be a nightmare. Troy, my-

self, and three shooters from Hong Kong breezed
through customs and checked into our hotel,
about a half-mile from the range. After settling
in, our hosts rounded us up and took us down the
road for lunch. We walked around checking out
several different fish markets, picked out the fish
and shellfish we wanted, and took them to another
place that cooked them for us. That is the
way to eat seafood! You can't get seafood fixed
like that in the States. It was awesome! I knew
this was going to be a good trip, especially for a
man who doesn't like to miss a meal.
I spent the next day getting used to the place
and checking out the range. The range was
unique in that it was a huge, and I do mean
huge, hole in the ground with one road leading
down into it. I later learned that the hole was
made by excavating dirt to build up the ground
for the airport. The club then leased the "hole"
from the state and turned it into a great range.
The next morning, we got down to business. I
was squadded to shoot with the "Ozzies," Craig
Ginger, Errol Thomas, Ross Newell, and Ken
Carter. Those heavy hitters from down-under
were squadded with the top guns from the Philippines,
including the Jet, Jomini Abaya, Marvin
Sanchez, and quite a few more speedy homeboys.
The Jet caught up with us after lunch; his plane
had landed from the States only that morning!
Whew! I'm not quite that hard-core of an international
traveler.
It was a difficult match with challenging stages
and plenty of droppers, swingers, and partial targets
to keep you honest. The courses were sort of
a combination of "American" and "Internationar
stages, American in that the round count was
high for the number of stages, and International
in that there were more shooting "areas" instead
of boxes providing more lateral gun movernent
from each position.
The battle shaped up with Errol and Craig
starting out strong and with the Jet and Jomini
right in there. Errol shot well in a really tough
match, making no mistakes of any consequence.
The Jet dropped a shot on one of the longer field
courses, which ended up being a factor since he
finished second overall by about 10 match points.
After the match I overheard Errol say that he
dropped only 29 points in the entire match!
That's impressive. At today's pace it's not often
you see a "no-mistakes" win. Congratulations to
Errol.
March/April 1995

Craig shot well also and finished up third.
Jomini shot stronger as the match progressed,
bringing him into a 7th place finish. Ross Newell
got some practice manually resetting his trigger
for the last 10 shots of a field course, costing him
a boat-load of match points. Even with all that,
however, he still pulled out a 5th place finish
overall. Valerie Levanza won the Women's Division.
She shot about 80 percent of the winning
overall score, an impressive performance on a
tough course of fire.
Overall, it was a terrific, efficiently run nriatch.
The RO's were courteous and helpful, and that
made it a lot of fun. The Filipinos definitely
proved they could host a world-class event. The
hospitality was the finest of any I've experienced.
The people went out of their way to make you
feel welcome and enjoy your stay. They also made
it very easy to get in and out of the country with
firearms, which was a big bonus.
There was some discussion afterwards about
hosting a Level 4 match in 1995 or 1996 with
some big prize money to attract some of the
heavy hitters from the States. They were talking
to the tune of $30,000 or better cash payback.
That should definitely generate some interest!
If you go, I'd recommend planning to stay for a
few days after the match at one of the nice resorts
close to the range. I stayed at Tambouli
after the match—white sandy beaches, coconut
trees, the moon rising over the ocean—it's a
sweet spot. Don't forget that this was November.
When I asked Chepit what to bring, he said,
"Don't even bring a jacket..." You get the picture.
There's also some awesome scuba diving in the
area. Less than a half-mile off shore from Tambouli,
the ocean floor drops to 4000 feet and produces
some great cliff diving. The Jet and I took
a class and got certified from one of the local
shooters who runs a diving shop. I highly recommend
this trip if you like to dive or if you've ever
considered scuba diving, this is the place to do
it. I'm looking forward to going back next year!

Gunsmith's Inquiries Welcomed
his way to winning the high
overall honors at the 1994 Louisiana
Section Championship
match held on October 15,
1994. This Grand Master
shooter has been coming to
Gonzales, LA, for the past couple
of years and giving us shooting
lessons, so he must know
what he's talking about. Local
boy and Section Champion
Duane Landry gave Jim a run
for his money this year, finishing
second with 95 percent. In
the Limited match, another
Texan, Ted Bonnet, gave a few
lessons of his own, finishing
third overall arid High Limited
with 92.4 percent. Baton
Rougean Gordon Lee took Limited
Section Champion title,
shooting 79.5 percent for the
top score.
Seventy-six shooters arrived
to compete in threatening
weather for the match which
was sponsored by Jim's Firearms.
Each club in the "Louisiana
Gator League" set up a
challenging course of fire, and
after a short briefing, the fun
began.
Briley Pistol Division sponsored
Stage 1, "Save The Neighbor,"
run by Mid South
Practical Shooters. This 29-
round Comstock field course
provided plenty of steel plates
to shoot. The helpful neighbor
started standing at his picnic
table; after retrieving gun
from the table, he engaged a
Pepper popper, two steel plates,
and a paper target. He then ran
to a fence and shot three targets
that were hiding behind
the neighbor's wall. Moving on,
he shot a Pepper popper before
banging away at five plates covered
by a swinging no-shoot.
Arriving at the neighbor's
house, he opened the windows
only to find a dropping target
and two other stationary bad
guys behind each window. Rob
Walsh ran this stage in 22.36
seconds, taking the top Open
win with a hit factor of 6.3059.
March/April 1995

Ted Bonnet was high Limited,
with a hit factor of 53647.
Stage 2, "Sea Cruise," was
sponsored by Precision Firearms
and Range. East Ascension
Practical Shooters ran this
seafaring 24-round field course.
The traveling shooter started
holding his suitcases as he prepared
to board the "SS
LeMoon." After charging up the
gangplank, the traveller had a
variety of enemies to shoot
through the ship's portholes. At
Stateroom 1, after engaging the
surly steward and knocking
down the two Pepper poppers,
two more paper bad guys
popped up for him to deal with.
At Stateroom 2, the traveling
pistolero encountered four angry
deckhands, and at Stateroom
3, had six steel surprises
and another paper menace to
shoot. Four small steel plates
added to the challenge of shooting
through a small port while
standing on a swaying deck.
Jerry Miculek proved seaworthy
on this stage, mowing down
all the targets in a blazing
12.10 seconds, scoring a hit factor
of 9.7521 and taking high
Open for the stage. Lloyd Landry
got the high hit factor in the
Limited category with a 6.8758.
Clark Custom Guns sponsored
Stage 3, "Barn Stormin'."
Acadiana Practical Shooters
tried to put our intrepid farmer
in a tight spot in this challenging
24-round field course. Taking
a break from his chores by
sitting on a stool, farmer John
was surprised by a hostile
stranger. Drawing his gun and
taking care of the falling plate
just led to more trouble appearing
in the form of two drop-out
paper targets. Moving to the
barn but using the door for
cover, the sod-buster dealt with
three more paper targets before
entering the horse hotel. Once
inside there were more targets
both inside and outside the
barn. From the left side, shooting
a Pepper popper caused a
swinging target to appear in
the back window which required
attention along with another
paper target hiding in the
corner. From the right side,
High Lady Kay Clark Miculek takes a
hectic "Sea Cruise."
knocking down another Pepper
popper caused a rolling target
to pass by the window before it
came to its final resting spot
outside the wall. Another paper
target was hidden in the hay.
Jim Nelson was top hand on
this stage, mowing down all the
targets in a strong 16.92 sec-

onds for a hit factor of 6.9740.
In the Limited category, Ted
Bonnet stormed the barn in
17.83 seconds and shot a hit
factor of 6.9546.
Tangipahoa Practical Shooters
ran Stage 4, "Around the
Barrels." This oilfield-oriented
stage was sponsored by VandenBerg
Custom. The shooter
started as if he were ready to go
to work in the barrel storage
area. At the signal, the roughneck
moved forward and engaged
three hard-covered paper
targets through a port on top of
a barrel. The shooter then
moved left to another barrel
where his right hand became
incapacitated and forced him to
finish off the last three paper
targets by using his left hand
around the left side of the barrel.
Jim Nelson shot like a welloiled
machine on this stage
with a total time of 19.94 seconds
and a hit factor of 5.667.
Ted Bonnet won the Limited

someone said, "standards are
like lima beans; you don't like
them, but they're good for you."
Ted Bonnet proved he likes

In the Mid 1980's t created pistols
that won World Championships and
saw the need for improved hammer
and sear performance. The EDM
components desrgned and manufactured
revolutiontzed trigger jobs. They still set
the performance standards today.
By the late 1980's I designed and brought
out the famous 1911 Titanium-Carbon
fiber trigger which has become
the classic for style and function.
In 1992, I was the firearms
designer who created the
MODULAR HI-CAPACITY
frame which dominates
IPSC style shooting today.
Then in late 1993, STI took the
next step and Introduced complete
2011 style pistols based on our proven
MODULAR Technology. These pistols
upgrade FIREARMS to a HIGHER LEVEL.
Today. STI is working daily to
continually improve our performance
in meeting customer requirements.
New products and methods are in
development I would personally
like to thank each and every
one of you for your tremendous
suppor1 over the years...

The 1994 Virginia-Maryland

Fredericksburg, VA.
Todd Jarrett, shooting a Limited

six stages and 110 rounds of

second on the other. Todd also
won the South Carolina Championship
match with his Limited
gun and proved that it's
not the gun that wins, it's the
shooter.
Gerry Trader, who won the
Open match, shot very well, but
had problems on the stage "Top
Drawers" with opening desk
drawers. You could tell that
Gerry's not an office worker. He
did win the stage "Splish,
Splash" which involved a bath
tub and a small yellow rubber
duck. Gerry became very attached
to the duck! G-erry also

The skies were cloudy Sunday
morning and there was a drizzle,
but the afternoon brought
sun and a mild breeze. With a
full house of 120 shooters, the
match ran smoothly and on
time, a must as available daylight
was gone by 5:15 p.rn. The
match was held late in the year
to avoid conflicts with other
scheduled matches.
Match Director Larry Shaffer
put together six inventive
courses of fire to challenge the
shooters. Stage 1 was "Top
Drawers," a 15-round speed
shoot in which the shooter began
seated behind a desk with
an unloaded gun, a magazine in
one side drawer and another
magazine in a drawer on the
other side. At the signal, the
shooter opened the drawer,
grabbed a magazine and loaded
the gun. Opening the drawer
activated both a swinging noshoot
that covered two shoot
targets and a gravity-turning
Women's Section Champion Debbie
Vincent carries the bath towel on
"Splish Splash.-
disappearing target. This array
also included a Pepper popper.
After engaging these targets,
the shooter reloaded with the
magazine from the other
drawer and engaged another
array. Opening the second
drawer activated a swinging
no-shoot, a gravity turner and
a flopper target. All targets
were engaged from behind the
desk, either sitting or standing.
Many things happened simultaneously
on this stage and the
winners were the shooters who
figured out how to use their
time to go from one target to
the next as they became visible.
All this movement confused
some shooters who swung frantically
from side to side looking
for targets that weren't there.
Isn't that called brain fade?
Todd Jarrett won this stage in
just over 10 seconds with Ron
Pike and Mike Marando the
only other shooters to do it under
12.
Stage 2, named "D.C. After
Dark," was a 20-round field
course involving four shooting
positions. Starting from a barricade,
the shooter proceeded to
a barrel, then to a box, and fin-

Dealer inquires welcome
High pressure loads are necessary in order to be competitive in practical shooting, but
these loads are very demanding on the guns, thus leading to reliability and breakage
problems. Having that in mind, CS has introduced the answer to these problems. All the
products used in our kits are designed by Bruce Gray to withstand the abuse that
practical guns suffer, while delivering a high level of accuracy and long term reliability
that you need, in an easy to lit package. Make our kit the choice for your gun.

ished the course by running 20
yards forward and shooting
over a low wall. This low wall
caused a problem that wasn't
discernible until Sunday afternoon
when it appeared that the
wall was blocking the sound of
some of the final shots fired on
this stage. Since we could not
be certain of the accuracy of all
of the times recorded, we had
no choice but to delete this
stage from the match. It was a
hard decision, but we felt that
this was the only fair thing to
do.
Stage 3 was a 21-round field
course called "Splish, Splash -
Forget About the Bath." The
shooter started sitting in a
bathtub with a washcloth in
one hand and a rubber duck in
the other. At the signal, the
shooter picked a gun up off a
small table and engaged an array
that included a popper

Trouble" with Jeff Hoge officiating.
which activated a flopper target
and two static targets, one covered
by a no-shoot. Getting out
of the tub, the shooter grabbed
a large bath towel and moved
into a long free-fire zone to engage
three targets obscured by
soft-cover. It was not possible to
see all of the targets from any
one point in the zone, so some
shooters went to several areas
to see all of them. Other shooters
picked one spot and tried to
guess the positions of the targets
that they couldn't see.
That strategy backfired on
some as they missed the hidden
targets completely.
Still carrying the towel, the
shooter finished up by opening
a door to reveal two moving and
two static targets. The towel
had to end up in this last shooting
box and more than one competitor
forgot to bring it along.
This resulted in procedural
penalties for each shot fired,
since this large towel was an
impediment in both shooting
and reloading. Gerry Trader
won this stage, obviously from
having taken many baths in
cheap hotels, followed by Todd
Jarrett and Dave Miller.

Stage 4, "More Train
Trouble," was a simulation of a
dangerous ride on an urban
subway. It was a 28-round field
course shot from platforms suspended
by springs which simulated
the motion of subway
cars. The targets were placed
right and left of the centerline,
and vision barriers kept the
competitors from seeing too
many targets from any one window.
A swinging target, a flopper
and several poppers kept
the shooters busy at the front of
the car.
The problem with this stage
was that the subway car was
much too clean, and once you
got up and left your seat, it was
hard to find another one. At
least the fare was affordable.
Todd was the winner here with
Ron Pike and Rob Kamensky

shooters double or triple-tapped
the Pepper popper to reveal the
smaller one more quickly, but
there was a no-shoot directly
behind the poppers, and any errant
shot quickly found it! After
knocking over these four poppers,
shooters ran down a hall
toward the door to the reactor
room, engaging a popper
through a window along the
way which activated a snapout-and-back
target. Other side
windows on both sides of the
hallway revealed more targets.
Some of the targets that were
visible through the left window
were also visible through the
windows in the reactor room, so
there were plenty of choices of
what to shoot from where.
Opening the reactor room door
activated a runner target
across the back, and inside the
room other bad guys were
mixed in among the workers.

side window to engage a popper
and two paper targets.
This 30-round field course involved
planning as well as
speed and accuracy. Todd,
Gerry and Tim Brattain were
the best at it. The job didn't pay
much, but sure provided a lot of
exercise.
The last stage, "Billboard
Again," was a 28-round field
course featuring forward movement
with different arrays becoming
visible as shooters
moved forward. Fault lines
kept shooters the proper distance
from steel targets, but paper
targets could be as they
became visible. Targets were
shot in the open, through 55-
gallon drums, through square
ports in low walls, around tall
walls or under vision barriers.
The choices on this stage were
many, and the time after the
walk-through was filled with
competitors muttering under
their breaths as they tried to

figure out the best way to shoot
the stage. Todd Jarrett won the
stage handily, beating Charles
Fountain and Marvin Fair by
20 percent. His strategy was to
run all the way to one side of
the range to the side berm,
where he could see most of the
targets from one spot. This
minimized his shooting positions,
and he was three seconds
faster than anyone else. Unfortunately,
Todd shot in the last
squad Sunday afternoon, so few
of us could copy his plan. Even
if we could, few of us could
shoot like him!
This was Larry Shaffer's first
major match, and he did an outstanding
job of putting it all together.

I've just returned from the
thrilling and heart-rending trials
of USPSA's Limited National
Championship at the
Washoe range in lovely, if
chilly, Reno.
The set-up crew was ramrodded
again this year by that
most capable duo, Jeff and Pat
Smith, who brought everything
they possessed in their contracting
business that would fit
in a 4X8 trailer and still climb
over the Sierra Mountains. This
year's match had fewer surprises
for the competitors than
last year's. Higher temperatures
coupled with fewer shooters
using powders with positive
temperature coefficients kept
all but six shooters from being
bumped to minor, about the
same number as at the Open
Nationals this year. The groans

heard at last year's shooter's
meeting were absent, and we
were out in 30 minutes or so. I
don't know what's going on.
Maybe shooters were actually
reading the match books but
the questions that were asked
were more well-thought-out
and actually pertinent to the
match. This was really nice.
Those two-hour shooters' meetings
are really a drag.
There were no broken slides
in Chrono-Land this year, although
one competitor's gun did
double on me (all rounds hit in
the "A" zone, thank you), and
another's did launch a round
through the front and out the
side of the chronobox when I
dropped the slide on the first
round. My thanks to the fine
folks at Cylinder and Slide for
their efforts in keeping these
and other shooters in the run-

Of the guns at Limited Nationals
this year, single and
double-column guns were about
equally divided. About 70 percent
were .45's. One person shot
a lOmm revolver, and four
brought guns that did not meet
the Limited criteria. Again,
Limited Nationals brought
back the original essence of
IPSC and the mood of the competitors
and staff was significantly
more relaxed than at
Open. The guns ran, many used
factory "Ball" ammo and people
were having a great time in
spite of the level of competition.

TO OUR FRIENDS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES
We sometimes are asked questions about just what
USPSA can and cannot provide for our members who
live in countries other than the United States, such as...
"If I am a member of USPSA, am I also a member of
IPSC?"
There has been some confusion about what foreign
members entitled to as members of USPSA. USPSA, as
an organization, is part of IPSC, but individuals must
apply for membership in IPSC in the country in which
they live.
"Then why should I be a member of USPSA?"
There are a number of benefits to being a USPSA
member. You can shoot classifiers at any club which is

LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING FACILITY
The Tire House has plenty ot room to maneuver.
by Walt Rutski, A-I3976
The Hornell Sportsmans Club
and the Hornell Police Department
have built a "tire house"
which will be used as the Hornell
Law Enforcement Training
Facility. This live-fire shooting
facility is designed to train law
enforcement personnel in high
risk situations such as warrant
execution, hostage rescue and
street survival techniques. The
Zone
Bullets
best part of it is that the contract
between the Hornell
Sportsmans Club and the City
of Hornell Police Department
allows the tire house to be used
by the Hornell Practical Shooters
to hold USPSA matches. So
far two matches have been held
in the facility without problems.
Shooting in this facility is
quite different. The tire walls
are about 12 feet high, and the

CRO is on a catwalk above and

power factor must be
strictly adhered to because of
the possibility of "bounce back"
from light loads or wadcutters.
In addition, the round count for
each stage is high; the first two
stages set up in the house required
37 and 41 rounds. To
add excitement to the competition,
the Hornell Practical
Shooters intends to include a
tire house stage in each match.
The tire house is constructed
of unused surplus tires donated
by the National Guard. Originally
it was to be built in another
community, but anti-gun
sentiment forced a move to the
Hornell Sportsmans Club.
Many government agencies and
local businesses contributed
building materials and sand for
the house which is 155 feet long
and 75 feet wide. The 12-feethigh

13,000 sand-filled tires set over
old telephone poles and 4x4s.
Most of the labor for the construction
work was provided by
prisoners from the New York
State Groveland Correctional
Facility in nearby Livingston
County.
Chief Mark Whitman of the
Hornell Police Department
worked just about every day
from September 1993, when the
tires started arriving at the
club, until late September 1994
when the Cheektowaga, NY,
SWAT team became the first
police agency to officially use
the facility.
Fred Rakoska had the honor
of being the first civilian

in securing man-hours, equipment

USPSA matches put on by the
Hornell Practical Shooters.
The Hornell Sportsmans
Club, by working with the police
under the banner of responsible
firearms owners, has had
about $250,000 worth of work
done on the club ranges. Five
pistol bays from 10 to 50 yards
long and two rifle ranges of 200
yards and 300 yards were cut
out with 10 foot berms of earth
separating the ranges. A small
15-yard chronograph range was
also built. In addition, two of
the five pistol bays are set up t,o
be used as either an NRA or
USPSA range with moving target
and twin plate racks. Both
can be incorporated into stages
of fire for USPSA matches.
The 1995 Eastern Lakes Section
Championship will be held
at the Hornell Sportsmans Club
on July 7-9. One of the stages
will be a 40-plus-round stage
set in the tire house. Don't miss

The designing started with
Stage One, where "June-Bug"
Hussey camouflaged CM88-08
with a variety of Halloween
items, synthetic stone walls
and a nitro dragster for a starting
box. Tom Calandra took off
in this one and won the stage.
In Stage Two, CRO Dave Gulbrandsen
recreated a mini-
Sherwood Forest by transplanting
more than 30 pine
trees. Here, with the help of a
sidearm, a chain saw and a
splitting maul, the shooter had
to fight off the evil sheriff and
rescue Maid Marian. Mark
Mazzotta won the stage (Mark,
please return the maid!).
Stage Three took the shooter
from Olde England to Tombstone
in the Wild West. Co-designers
Joe Warren and Larry
Hussey, wearing wild-west gear
to fit the part, ran the shooters
from the buckboard to the horse
and into the Emporium, blasting
bad guys along the trail, in
the stable, the bank, the saloon
and the store (whew!). Mark
Mazzotta did it again on this
stage.
Stage Four added a touch of
reality as, following the example
of Immigration and Naturalization
Services special
agents, shooters donned tactical
body armor throughout the
course and used a pump shotgun
and their own sidearms on
difficult steel and unusually
configured paper targets while
using the cover of a truck, a
doorway and a barricade in
their attempt to save a downed
agent. Mark Mazzotta performed
this rescue in record
time to achieve the overall win.
Our thanks to Team Master
Blasters for their preparation
and dedication, arid t,o all the
competitors for making this a
fun and successful match.

ENLIGHTENING GUNSMITH - GARY KIMBALL
by Stuart Wong, A-4469
When I started shooting this sport, I didn't realize
how much fun I would have or how involved
I would really get. Six years and several guns
later, I still have the bug and it just seems to get
worse. Not being a person of unlimited wealth
but always wanting the newest and coolest, I've
learned to beg and borrow (not steal) to meet
those ends. I've even learned to do some things
myself to get my guns built. One good friend who
has been patient with my kitchen-table smithing
is gunsmith Gary Kimball of Colorado Springs.
Gary has been there to fix many of my creations;
cleaning up my blending of parts, fixing trigger
jobs, and even straightening out my checkering.
This man is good.

There are plenty of other 1911s to choose from.
It is the most popular auto-pistol in the world.
And yes, there are cheaper 1911s and more expensive
1911s. But there are none better than Springfield
Armory's original.
So go ahead, compare Springfield quality and
features—then price. Choose a stainless steel model,
CARRY COMP model, or economical MIL-SPECTm

While watching Gary fine
tune one of my creations (for
which he usually brings out his
biggest hammer), I noticed he
was using some kind of doohickey
to hold my frame. I
didn't think too much about it
until I noticed he wasn't doing
any strange contortions for
which a gymnast would score a
9.8. I don't know about you, but
I have a lot of trouble trying to
set up a frame in a vise without
having an odd angle that makes
it impossible to reach the right
spot.
So being the smart and resourceful
person that I am, I
asked "what's with the
whatchamacallit?" Gary explained
he had built a fixture to
hold the frame securely with a
handle which could be placed in
a vise at any angle he needed.
I got to looking at the thing and
saw it was so idiot-proof and
easy to use that I didn't understand
why someone hadn't built
one before. The fixture will hold
any 1911-pattern gun, including
all the hi-capacities and any
single-stack model. The tool
will even hold the frame with
the ejector still installed. It provides
a tight grip, and the
frame won't shift even while
laying the lines to checker the
frontstrap.
Since that day of enlightenment,
I've used this fixture to
fit grip safeties, open up magwells,
checker the frontstrap
and trigger guards, blend in
thumb safeties, and many other
projects. I still have Gary fix up
my blunders, but I don't have to
see a chiropractor as often. If
this sounds like the way to
lower your medical bills and
give you a much needed third
hand, give Gary a call at (719)

A NEW
SHOOTING
MAGAZINE
A new magazine dedicated to
the shooting sports is scheduled
to begin publishing soon. Gun-
Games Magazine will be published
on a bi-monthly basis
and be available on newsstands
for $3.25.
"IPSC, Cowboy Shooting,
NRA Action, and all other related
action shooting sports
have gained unbelievable
growth over the past five years.
Public awareness of these
events is at an all-time high,
but there are simply not enough
reading materials for the fastgrowing
number of participants
and the huge spectator market,"
publisher Wally Arida
said.
This 120-page magazine will
cover shooters, equipment,
shooting styles, the people behind
the scenes and everything
related to organized shooting.
Every issue will feature columns
about Cowboy, IPSC, Revolver,
Steel, NRA Action, and
Tactical and Defense shooting.
There will even be a column
about lady shooters in the
shooting sports.
An annual subscription to
GunGames Magazine is $16.95.
To subscribe, call GunGames at

fections notwithstanding, a preponderance
of shots hit the central
area of the target and the
proportion of hits falls dramatically
as you move away from
the center of the impact area.
Second, in setting the size of
the impact area, the calculation
assumes the impact area is
fixed regardless of range. The
nearer a target is, the easier it
is to center hits on it. The impact
area on a target three meters
away is always much
smaller than the impact area of
hits on a target 15 meters
away. I have seen one meter
targets on which not one shot
fell outside the A zone.
Don't take my word for any of
this; look at the pasters on any
target which has taken a lot of
hits; better yet, look at the overlapping
holes on the back of the
target. Hits cluster in the middle
of the biggest exposed part

The issues raised by Spearing,
Williams, Kratoska,
Howes, et. al. were on my mind
as I wrote and are worthy of
consideration.
Other important issues
should also be addressed, such
as the effect of a bullet's trajectory
angle relative to the target
plane causing an elongated
hole; the normal nutation motion
of the bullet, which could
cause the bullet to enter the
target yawed to the target
plane, causing an elongated
hole; and the target's cardboard
material not being uniform in
its construction and material
properties, which could cause a
round bullet passing through

the target to produce an elongated
hole. Addressing all of
these issues would require a
major research project and, if
conducted, would produce an
article few would read and
fewer would understand.
The use of random hits within
a circle is intuitively understandable
and is therefore useful.
The 18-inch circle chosen, if
randomly hit, would produce
approximately 20 percent D
hits with the rest of the hits be-

to be too large a circle to be realistic
we could reduce it to a

randomly hit, would produce
approximately 80 percent A

D hits. Such a circle would require
approximately 50,000
random hits to produce a "minimally

that still seems to be too large

domly hit, would produce 100
percent A hits. Such a circle
would still require approximately
12,500 random hits to
produce a "minimally detectable
double."
For all issues which could be
responsible for increasing the
probability of "minimally detectable
doubles" (close targets,
the probability that consecutive
shots will produce hit locations
in accordance with a standard
distribution, etc.), there are
other issues which could be responsible
for decreasing the
probability of "minimally detectable
doubles" (far targets,
the probability that consecutive
shots will produce hit locations
in accordance with a "donut"
distribution, etc.). In addition,
there are also confounding issues
which are able to produce
the appearance of a "minimally
detectable double" when only
one bullet created the hole (bullet
trajectory angle, bullet nutation,
target construction and
material properties, etc.)
Without our major research
project, we are left to ponder
whether the frequency at which
holes, which might appear to be
slightly out of round, are called
by CROs as doubles are actually
justified. I think the best
we can do is to recognize that
there are many factors which
can make a bullet hole appear
slightly out of round, and perhaps
we have been too willing
to conclude that a bullet hole
which appears to be slightly out
of round could have only been
caused by two bullets passing
through the same hole. The
CRO, when confronted with
what might be a slightly out of
round hole must make a judgement.
All of the above issues
can be considered in making
that judgement in addition to
other issues, such as how often
a given shooter believes one of
his hits to be a double. And fi-
March/April 1995

nally, the statistics, crude
though they may be, can serve
as an approximate reality check
for CROs to allow them to adjust
the degree of perceived out
of roundness they require before
they will be willing to judge
a seemingly slightly out of
round bullet hole to actually be
a double.

DAILY MEMBERSHIP
FEE?
The comments that will follow
were sent to John Amidon
in response to Jeff Nelson's column
in the December issue of
In Touch.
Charging a "daily membership"
fee to non-USPSA members
participating in monthly
club matches is a step in the
wrong direction. It may benefit
USPSA in the short term, but
hurt in the long term. I feel it
would have an immediate effect
at the club level.
Eastern Lakes Section
charges the same shooter rates
at each club across the section:
$12 for club members, $15 to
non-club members. The added
$3 on top of these fees for non-
USPSA members may serve to
discourage them from participating.
They are not USPSA
members for one reason or another.
Maybe because of finances,
political beliefs, or just
1PSC BULLSEYE -
PERSONAL PROTECTION,
their placement at club
matches. They may enjoy the
shooting even though they are
not competitive and do not feel
the money for USPSA membership
is worthwhile.
We at Rochester Brooks Practical
Shooters have a healthy
USPSA membership. It
amounts to 80 to 85 percent of
our monthly match attendees.
Now, if the 15 to 20 percent
who are not members decide
not to play anymore because of
mandated membership (which
is the essence of Jeffs proposal),
we are going to feel that
in OUR wallet. Ten shooters
times $12 or $15 times 8
matches per year is a sizeable
amount of money. That pays for
a lot of props, awards, or whatever
club costs there may be.
I feel our club has an average
match attendance. We have
been in existence for 16 years
and USPSA-affiliated for 15.
We have a table at the gun
shows here in Rochester and
promote the sport and our club
with fliers, videos, displays and
a lot of questions and answers.
All this boils down to this
fact. When you mandate something,
you alienate people.
There are shooters who don't
belong to the NRA. But, this IS
America. It's their freedom of
choice. All we can do is try to
convince them that it is in their

still don't, we still keep trying.
What more can we do?
I would like to suggest one
thing. In Touch is a nice touch,
but I feel it is not a necessity.
It has to cost in printing and
mailing. When we are spending
more than we are bringing in,
increasing memberships IS the
way to go. Increasing costs is
not. Isn't that one of the reasons
we bounced out so many

scope-sighted 9x25 caliber hicap
race firearm was. We all
know that IPSC gear is technology
driven, but what would
happen to an avid race gun enthusiast
if all he/she had to
compete with was a stock firearm.
Well, I was that victim,
and I was amazed at the results.
To give you, the reader, some
background of my IPSC history,
I started shooting "practical
pistol" in 1982 at the know-itall
stage of 16 years old. Dad
gave me a Colt G-old Cup in .45
ACP, a Rogers holster (yes, a
pre-Safariland model!) some
eight-round magazines and
Allesi magazine pouches. Back
then, spare magazines were
carried in your pocket, everyone
used hardball, and if you could
cover your "double taps" with
one paster you were a local
hero. This combination worked
for me until 1986, when at that
time I discovered race cars and
subsequently stopped shooting.
1989 came along, the race car
career came and went, and
IPSC shooting had a completely
different look. Barnhart started
using scopes, Leatham reigned
supreme using light bullets in
.38 Super, and no self-respecting
competitor would be caught
dead without the newest multichamber
compensator. My interest
grew, so I did what any
challenge-driven person would
do, I bought my first race-gun.
To make a long story short, after
many race-gun purchases,
this year I faced a new dilemma.
Living in Upstate New York
brings me the benefit of being
close to the Canadian province
of Ontario. About six times a
year, I get the chalice to compete
with some of the best
shooters Eastern Canada has to
offer. Only this year there's a
hitch, hi-cap magazines are
outlawed in Canada. (Just like
March/April 1995

here in the good old USA now.)
None of the magazines for my
high-tech pistols could be
brought into the country. I
found this small, but significant,
detail in my match description
for an IPSC Level 3
contest called the Ottawa Open.
It just happens to be that the
only Canada-legal magazines I
own belong to my G-old Cup. By
chance, but not by choice, my
return to Limited class had begun.
I must admit that it didn't
take long to re-introduce myself
to the par from yesteryear, so
the deal I made myself was that
I'd go to Ottawa and do the best
I could do under the circumstances.
The course of fire was
not Limited friendly, 10-round
Supers were at a great advantage,
but it was comforting to
know all Limited class competitors
were in the same boat. After
the stats were completed, I
had finished in the top 25 and

Mr Of I fr
won High Limited, but most
important of all was I received
the most enjoyment from this
match than any other I've ever
attended in my shooting career.
I attribute this to my choice of
equipment. No scopes to break,
no slide stop pins to bend, no
extractors to fail, no brass to
bulge, no breakage of any kind,
just the shooting to worry
about. Just like the old days!
This experience so impressed
me that for the last four months
all I've worked with is my Limited
class firearm. It came with
me to the Area 7 Championship,
the Eastern Lakes Sectional,
and it will accompany
me to the remainder of the
tournament schedule in my section.
Don't get me wrong, I still
love my race-guns, but now I
guess I'll be bringing two guns
with me to club level matches.
I used to think that Limited
class fans were just nostalgic

and in some cases, were to be
compared with the Pennsylvania
Dutch Quakers who dislike
modern conveniences so much
that a telephone in the house is
out of the question. I was
wrong, dead wrong, and for that
I apologize. Limited class single-handedly
revived my desire
for the sport of IPSC, and for
that I am grateful. USPSA has
done a tremendous job reviving
Limited class, especially with
the decision of a separate nationals
and classification system.
I commend their actions.
You know the saying, "don't
knock it until you've tried it!"
and try it you should. Besides if
you forgot how to adjust your

call. I'm sure they would be

STAINLESS STEEL for LOW MAINTENANCE
This tool grade Stainless Steel is perfect for a low maintenance

The CMC Micro Finish process is superior because it holds

PREPPED IL READY TO INSTALL
All engagement surfaces have been precision ground for
perfect ongular alignment, then polished with the CMC
Micro Finish process to yield that clean crisp feel
associated with "Match Grade" custom trigger jobs.
Shock Grade Tool Steel yields maximum service life.
Tolerances are held to .00t" (one thousandth).
EXTREMELY HARD "EDM" SEARS
All CMC sears and hammers are "EOM" Electrical Discharge Machined. This
process yields the best tolerances possible and enables CMC to use superior
"Tool Grade" steels which can be heat treated to a higher degree of hardness
without increasing the risk of fracturing. CMC's Micro Finish process on the
50 engagement surface insures that crisp "Master Glide" feel and reliability.

TITANIUM FIRING PINS, STRUTS & MAINSPRING CAPS
- Titanium weighs 45% less than factory standard parts to reduce "Loek

avoid Primer Bleed and Firing Pin Skate. Experts have discovered that
reducing 'Lock-Time" can noticably improve all areas of ballistics.

basis of the walk-through
that describes the course of
fire to competitors.
Level 2 Instructors also encourage
course designers to
lay out their match to scale
on graph paper using the
USPSA Course Designer's
Template. This is when the
available club props, walls,
doors and targets are jiggled
into a workable relationship
within a given range size to
make a proper course of fire.
At this point, the match director
has a scenario, a written
course description, a scale
drawing of the course design,
a work order describing the
props and materials needed,
and a written walk-through
to be read aloud so every competitor
receives exactly the
same set of instructions.

YOU HAD A BLAST IN '94? YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YETI
It seems like a lot of work,
but it really isn't. Most match
design preparation is best
done over time, not a day or
two before a match when it
could interfere with other personal
business. Given lead
time, the scenario can be refined,
props can be built or
purchased, written documentation
and advertising prepared,
set-up crew and staff
recruited, and score cards
printed. More importantly,
the course design can be
checked for cornpliance with
the current edition of the
USPSA/IPSC rules.
As match director you have
a personal responsibility to
double-check the course design
and instructions to competitors
to assure that you
are indeed presenting a legally
approved USPSA match
to your competitors.
TH E CONTEST
You be the Range Master
who has to critique the course
design at the beginning of
this article, or the CRO who
is responsible for enforcing
the rules fairly and consistently,
or the arbitration committee
which may have to
condemn the match as unmanageable
and/or illegal. Write
your stnnmary correcting the
rule infractions described
above, and cite the rule number
and your rule book remedies
to the posed infractions.
Send your analysis and suggested
corrections to "Course
Design," USPSA, PO Box 811,
Sedro Woolley WA 98284. Entries
must be received no
later than March 31, 1995.
The first three individuals,
deterrnined by postmark, who
identify all the rule problems
presented in the course de-
scription will receive a
USPSA gun rug. For the first
Pctge 76 March/April /995

three respondents who go the
extra mile and make legal recommendations
that are acceptable
to the NROI Directorate
to help these new match directors
run a legal match, an
NROI cap and gown (yellow

awarded.

and for the volunteer staff to
manage.
The 1994 Limited match
should have filled considering
the number of additional slot
requests in hand early last
summer. Those requests had
to wait for unused slots to be
returned, something that unfortunately
didn't happen until
a few weeks before the
match. By that time, few
shooters could take advantage
of the returned slots because
there was so little time to
make travel and vacation
plans. Limited competition is
nearly as popular as Open, if
not more so, and increasing
this event to four days will let
more shooters get to it.
With both matches at four
days and equal in size and importance,
an opportunity presented
itself to swap
locations. However if a rotation
was to be implemented,
and because more than a full
year's work goes into each Nationals,
the choices boiled
down to PASA and Reno. So
the decision was made to
serve the Limited shooters on
the eastern seaboard and the
Open shooters on the Pacific
side of the nation. No Nationals
site will ever please 100
percent of our membership,
but it is hoped that with this
decision more members will
have the opportunity to come
and shoot the Nationals with
us.
The answers and the contest
winners will be published
in the next issue of Front
Sight.
Senior NROI staff will select
the contest winners.

o you look fonvard to using your balance
eam scale? You know that you'll have to hassle
ith getting it zeroed. Then you'll put your charge
n it and start, ever so carefully, sliding the
(eights back and forth trying to get the thing to sete
into the middle. Then, just when you think you've
ot the thing pinned down, you bump the base and
ose your zero. You have to start all over again.
ven when you manage to keep it zeroed, getting
n accurate reading is a slow tedious process at
est. Ughl

Dur new PACT Digital Precision Powder Scale
)ffers an accurate and speedy alternative to all this
fuming around, Just turn it on, verify the calibration
and weigh your charge. The PACT Scale will display

Vat Created Equal
Digital powder scales have been around for years.
The good ones give excellent performance but,
Jnfortunately, have had (until now) a very high
)rice, in the neighborhood at $300.00 or more. Not
Dased on a repackaged postage meter or kitchen
male. the PACT Digital Precision Powder Scale
vas designed by us, with you, the reloader, in
hind. Take a look at our platen design, its designed
:o perfectly center the standard powder cup over the
oad cell to enhance accuracy. Like the expensive
scales, our scale comes with hvo ultra precision
:heck weights for proper calibration in compli-
3nce with weigh scale industry standards.
Dne of the most common questions we've been
asked since we
released this scale last
year is 'How can this
scale be any good
and sell for such a
low price?" Simple.
Most of the other
scales you see on market
are "sourced"
through an agent in
Hong Kong, produced
somewhere in the orient,
imported to the
USA and marked up
Several times before it
finds it's way to your
reloading bench. We,
on the other hand, manufacture
our ovvn scale
