AREA I CHAMPIONSHIPS<br />
By: George Beam A-16134<br />
The 1991 Area I Championship<br />
was held in Medford, OR<br />
and hosted by Southern Oregon<br />
PSA on June 28-30th. The<br />
match consisted of eight courses<br />
of fire vvith a minimum of 117<br />
rounds. With an estimated<br />
$20,000 in prizes, all 160 competitors<br />
had something to look<br />
forward to on Saturday night at<br />
the awards banquet.<br />
You started the day at the<br />
local ''Cash 'n Carry" (Stage<br />
One). Two targets at 30 ft. were<br />
engaged first. Moving up to a<br />
55 gal. drum with a bar across<br />
the top, you knelt down to get<br />
a good look at 2 more targets<br />
and a pepper popper with a noshoot<br />
behind it. Mike Voigt<br />
scored the best on this course<br />
before he found himself "Making<br />
a Run For the Border" (Stage<br />
Two).<br />
Kneeling down, checking the<br />
front tire on your pickup, you<br />
stood, turned and engaged 3<br />
targets with 2 no-shoots in front<br />
of them. Moving to the rear of<br />
the pickup, you sighted 3 targets<br />
through the port in a barricade<br />
before moving up the border<br />
where you engaged 2 targets<br />
hidden behind no-shoots and 2<br />
pepper poppers. Mike Mortown<br />
scored the highest here.<br />
Getting tired, you decided to<br />
sit down at the "Laid Back<br />
Blaster" (Stage Three). Starting<br />
with legs crossed and fingers<br />
laced behind your head, you<br />
suddenly had to engage 2<br />
targets and 2 pepper poppers<br />
nearby. Larry Duckett outshot<br />
everyone else on this stage.<br />
Didn't get enough rest sitting<br />
there? Moving on you lay down<br />
on a nice soft mat becoming a<br />
"Laid Down Blaster" (Stage<br />
Four). When the alarm rang,<br />
you rolled over and engaged 2<br />
targets and 2 pepper poppers<br />
through a 16" high port. Jim<br />
Wall got the most rest and the<br />
highest score out of this course.<br />
At Stage Five you met<br />
Newman and Redford at "The<br />
Sting II." First a pepper popper<br />
(1/2 hard cover), when hit,<br />
activated a rocking target<br />
moving in and out of view<br />
behind a hard cover. The next<br />
pepper poppers, #2 and #3, when<br />
luiocked down, activated 2<br />
turning targets visible for about<br />
2 seconds. Then how about an<br />
