yourself. "What am I trying to do?" If you are

international and regional business 

and world shoot IX 

One thing that did stand out 

in this issue, was the lack of 

pictures. ( Maybe we overcompensated 

last issue?) We all like 

to see ourselves on the printed 

page and a picture brings the 

action to life. I have received 

three articles for the 

MarchIApril issue and everyone 

of them apologized for not having 

pictures enclosed. I appreciate 

the articles, without them 

we wouldn't have a magazine, 

but when you go to the range, 

take your camera, pictures make 

the magazine. We prefer black 

and white but if they are color 

and there is high contrast we 

can use them. It comes out 

better than not having any 

pictures at all. 

On to World Shoot IX While 

in Adelaide, I had the opportunity 

to ask some of the best lady 

shooters in the world about their 

guns, leather, and ammo. Following 

is what I found out: 

The French Ladies Team - 

Range in ages from 32 - 40. 

They all shoot .45's and for the 

World Shoot used 230 gr., 0.27

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE 

I would like to take a moment 

to bring to your attention the 

professional and honorable service 

that the Ask Mr. Foster, Quincy 

Travel Center provided for this 

year's Nationals. I had a small 

problem with the rental car 

agreement at St. Louis Airport. 

I notified Jan Achelpohl, V.P., at 

the Travel Center. Within just 

a couple of weeks she agreed to 

reimburse for the difference. 

I was caught in the middle of 

two w e companies who disputed 

each other and the Travel Center 

came to my rescue. I have used 

this service for 3 years now and 

will continue to recommend them 

Thanks, 

Chuck Morningstar A-6969 

GOOD JOB GEORGIA! 

Lots of "atta-boys"(and girls) 

are due to Randy Carlton and his 

temfic staff of ROs and stab 

people at SRPSA. The Georgia 

State match this year was probably 

the best I've seen anywhere! 

ThIw mault m m , two speed 

courses, and a challenging ( but 

not impractical) standards made 

for a fun, diverse day-and-a-half 

worth of shooting. 

The prize table was loaded with 

guns, cash and other goodies. 

First in every class received guns 

Page 2 

than 360 words and may be edited for 

andcash,a~wdasstatechamp, 

Hi Lady, Hi Tactical and Hi 

Revolver. Trophies and prizes 

were awarded down 5 places 

in each daas. At least one South 

African shooter got into the A 

trophies ("Good show, 

wildebeast!") 

Many thanks from all of us 

Florida shooters! See you again 

next year.

NEW IDEA ON PRIZE 

DISTRIBUTION 

ARer reading various letters 

from other Front Sight readers 

I have come to the conclusion that 

many do not know what they are 

griping about when match awards 

are handed out. 

EwrymatchIhaveeverented 

always stated what the prize 

distribution was going to be. If 

you are not happy with the 

matches award format then there 

is no reason for you to enter the 

match. 

As Match Director and 

President of Geneva Practical 

Shooters I will lay out how we 

award people at our monthly 

matches. It could be expanded to 

National Level Matches. 

Olrrawadsystemisbasedupm 

the level of participation in the 

match. Generally a minimum of 

four eligible competitors in any 

given category are required before 

an award is made. Typically the 

top 25% of eligible competitors 

within the category will receive 

recognition. The one exception 

to this is the High Woman award 

which is based on high overall 

score (not class) and needs a 

minimum of 3 women to be 

awarded. 

The following entries for pistol 

are used at GPS monthly matches: 

Unlimited, Tactim, Revolver 

(stock only) and High Woman. 

The classes within each are M, 

A, B, C, D, and Open. Open class 

is used for new shooters only and 

they are classi6ed after their first 

three matches. 

An example of how this works 

is everyone who enters the match 

is competing for Match Winner. 

h r that they compete within 

their classification (M thru Open) 

in the category of entry culllimited, 

Stock, Revolver or Woman). The 

women also compete equally with 

the men within their class and 

category. So, for example, to 

award a 1st place A class award 

in the unlimited category I need 

to have a minimum of 4 entries 

that is 4 competitors entered or 

25% in each category. Remember 

7 entries will not get 2 awards, 

only when multiples of 4 occur 

(4, 8, 12, ect.) will you award a 

place finish. If I have less than 

4 competitors in a class and 

category I will not give an award, 

as it is my feeling that there is 

not any true competition among 

three entries, but don't forget they 

are still eligible for the Match 

Wier Award. In the past five 

years of matches at our club this 

has proven to be the fairest 

possible award system for the 

majority. 

I hope the above information 

will be beneficial to others within 

our sport.

Two of the stages shot at the 

World Shoot featured concealed 

carry courses. This fact, as well 

as the fact that many of the 

courses featured multiple close 

in targets, should have excluded 

firearms with large bulky, slow 

optical sights. Not so, optical 

sights (Tasco 33mm PrePoints) 

placed first and second respectively 

in this event. Tasco optics 

has now won both the U.S. 

Nationals and World Shoot M. 

I did not expect an optical 

sight to win the U.S. 

Nationals, nor the World 

Championships. I did 

feel the new laser sights TI 

would be competitive, 

WORL 

long before other optics 

1. 

developed to that level 

of sophistication. A laser 

is smaller, turns on 

automatically with the 

firearm grasped in a 

firing position, and 

directs the shooter's attention to 

the target. 

Sounds great! Lasers however, 

still have problems projecting 

their dot in direct sunlight. 

Electronic optical sights when 

shot with both eyes open, are 

fast, allow full focus on the 

target, and establish a more 

precise aiming point. (Although, 

they are heavier and bulkier 

than what is regarded aspractical 

in our sport.) 

Is this an example ofjust how 

far our sport has come away 

from its founding as a practical 

sport with "defensive applications?" 

Or is it an example of 

just how far optics have progressed 

in the last few years? 

Dave Stanford, President 

-IE EQUIPMENT RACE 

D ASSEMBLY ACTION ON: 

NEW 3 TIER SCORING 

40110mm MANDATORY FOR 

MAJOR SCORING, 1993 

Perhaps it is a little bit of both. 

Certainly, it is one more step 

in the "equipment race." Is an 

equipment race best for our 

sport? The race is within our 

Principals, even encouraged by 

them, but I for one, have mixed 

emotions. 

THE EQUIPMENT RACE 

An equipment race is an 

integral part of a sport where 

one of the principal purposes is 

to develop firearms and equipment 

which will better perform 

their intended functions. It is 

pemived as necessary by the top 

world class shooters. They are 

so close in ability that even a 

small advantage in equipment 

call spell LIE cullerence uetween 

winning and losing. However, 

I.P.S.C. Principle 4 goes on to 

state, "Any item of equipment, 

or modification to equipment, 

which sacrifices practical functionality 

for a competitive 

advantage contravenes the 

principles of the sport." The 

issue would then revolve around 

the question; "is an optical sight 

practical, for defensive purposes?" 

Or is it only used for competitive 

advantage? 

Some will areue that the 

optical sights of 

today are imminently 

practical. They 

cite proven performance 

using as 

example the winning 

of THE three 

top shooting events 

in the world. The 

I.P.S.C. World 

Championship, the 

U.S.P.S.A. National 

Championships, and the NRA 

Bianchi Cup. Others ask, 'Just 

how practical are they, if when 

confronted by a defensive situation, 

you have to say; 'Wait a 

minute while I turn my sights 

on?" ' I feel sure that this issue 

will be brought up at the next 

world conference in South Mca. 

The problem I see with optical 

sights is that it adds one more 

element to the equipment race. 

Use of an optical sight enhances 

the image to new or emerging 

shooters that they must have a 

$2,000 to $3,000 firearm to be 

competitive in our "practical 

sport." 

A sport which bars the average 

individual from gettinginvolved

SCORING TIME FIRE ... 

Scoring Comstock and Virginia 

count stages is pretty straight 

forward and well understood. 

One takes the shooter's score 

and divides it by hisher time to 

arrive at a hit factor (HF). The 

maximum hit factor of all the 

shooters is used to calculate the 

stage factor which, when multiplied 

times everyone's I*, yields 

the match points given to each 

shooter for the stage. It does as 

the rules require in 9.13 (iii). 

That is, it awards the maximum 

possible points that can be 

scored to the winner of that 

stage and distributes points to 

other competitors relative to 

their achievement. 

When a Time Fire stage is 

included in the match, the 

scoring gets a little confusing to 

many, and in fact, the US 

printing of the rules suggests a 

choice be made between weighing 

the time fire stage and not 

weighingit. The USPSA scoring 

program provides an option for 

the Match Director. How does 

one decide which option to 

choose? Unless you are experienced 

with statistics, its likely 

the choice is made by your club's 

tradition, or by choosing which 

ever way seems the easiest on 

your scoring program. The IROA 

program (MSS) does not allow 

this option, and many clubs are 

using it without knowing the 

impact of weighting time fire 

stages. This is a portion of a 

club flyer scored with a homebrew 

epeadsheet scoriing syste=1. 

The match consists of three 

b 

Othem argue that the maximum 

mre for a Time Fire stage cannot 

be known until after the race is 

finished. Since we are working 

with two variables in all our 

stages (time and points) we hold 

one constant while testing the 

shooters ability to do well at the 

other. With Comstcck and Virginia 

Count, we know the maximum

but cannot know the best time.

In b e Fire, the opposite is true.

KOENIG CLAIMS WORLD 

CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE! 

By: Dave Stanford, RD-2 

Doug tioen~g 111 1 ne 1 urlnel 

USPSA member Doug 

Koenig A-5408 is the new 

World I.P.S.C. Practical Shooting 

Champion! Deborah 

James A-1685 retained her 

Ladies World Champion title. 

U.S. Gold Team member Koenig 

came from behind to top the 301 

shooters at World Shoot IX. 

The shoot, held in Adelaide 

South Australia was one of the 

best world shoots other than 

those held in the U.S.(I'm 

prejudiced.) Courses were very 

straightforward, quite varied, 

with small, but significant 

departures from the U.S. format. 

The World Shoot is a team 

event, and not unexpectedly the 

U.S. Men's and Women's Gold 

Teams were first place winners. 

Also the U.S. Men's "un-official" 

Silver team was second in 

points. Each country can only 

field one official men's team and 

one official ladies' team. The 

official Men's National Team 

results are: U.S. 

first, Australia second, 

Philippines 

third. The Ladies' 

team results were 

U.S. first, Australia 

second. Once again 

the U.S. leads the 

world in Practical 

Competition. 

U.S. Gold Team 

members are: Rob 

Leatham, Jerry 

Barnhart, Doug 

Koenig, J. Michael 

Plaxco, Brian 

Enos and Mark 

Mazotta. Ladies 

Team members are: Deborah 

James, Kippi Boykin, Shirley 

Hamilton, and Sharon 

Kimbrell. 

Suzy Ballantyne of Australia 

was high Junior shooter, and 

John Sayle of the U.S. was the 

high veteran (senior). 

Congratulations all! 

A few of the courses are 

included in order to give you an 

idea of the flavor of the match. 

Stage 1 was a field course 

sponsored by Springfield 

Armory. It required the shooter 

to shoot through various windows 

and doors as he moved 

along a wall. 

Stage 2, also sponsored by 

Springfield, was entitled 

SADAT. It had four pepper 

poppers set at 35 yards which 

you shot at through a window. 

This was a Virginia Count 

exercise. If you missed a pepper 

popper you then had to 

have two hits on a paper target 

set at 15 yards. 

Stage 3, Guard Duty, sponsored 

by Colt USA and Frontier 

Arms, was a house clearing 

exercise that most shooters 

enjoyed. You started seated and 

on the signal engaged a target 

at a window, at a doorway, ran 

through a room to a back door 

all the while engaging targets. 

Stage 9, Alley Drive, sponsored 

by Smith & Wesson & 

Grycol Int'l., was a vehicle stage 

in which the competitor was 

seated in a car. On the signal 

he drew and engaged 6 pepper 

poppers. Some of the poppers 

were concealed or protected 

behind hard cover or no shoots. 

Stage 12, also sponsored by 

Smith & Wesson & Grycol Int'l., 

was a speed shoot where the 

shooter again started in a chair 

and on the start signal engaged 

3 paper targets and two pepper 

poppers. He was supposed to 

avoid two no shoot targets in 

the process. 

Stages 19-22 "Hotel Room," 

sponsored by Caspian Arms, 

were quick little speed shoots 

where the shooter was seated at 

a desk, jumped up and ran to a 

doorway, and engaged the 

targets inside a small room. 

One of the Hotel room stages 

was dropped from the event for 

safety problems. A shooter was 

hit by a ricochet from a plate 

set too close to the firing line. 

In fact, many of the metal 

plates were set quite close to 

the shooters, and splatter was 

a serious problem. Several 

shooters, RO's, and even J.P. 

Denis said they now better 

understood why the U.S.

house. Behind each was a shoot 

target. Once these targets were 

engaged, the shooter moved to 

a window on either side of the 

house and engaged the targets 

appearing in that area. A 

combination of poppers, plates, 

shoots and no-shoots greeted 

them as they moved through 

the house. The final firing port 

saw 5 poppers, 3 of which were 

no-shoots with shoot plates in 

front of them.

FIREARM CLEANING MADE EASIER 

By: Tolbert Nash A-2172 

In today's world of 

practical shooting, it's common 

for a shooter to spend from 

$2,000 to $3,000 for a firearm 

with hopes that it will help 

them attain their goals in 

competitive shooting. Of course, 

there are a few other trivial 

expenses, such as the special 

accessories and ammunition. 

Every shooter that I know 

would rather spend their time 

shooting, but sometimes our 

shooting must come to a halt in 

order to clean our beloved 

match blaster. 

For years, I've tried just 

about everything on the market 

to simplify the process of cleaning 

leaded and copper fouled 

barrels. Some time ago, I came 

across a product that I feel is 

the greatest invention since the 

bore brush - it's called RB-17, 

one of many fine products 

manufactured by GBC Industries. 

In using RB-17, I've 

discovered that the lead and 

copper buildup in the barreYcompensator 

is literally 

dissolved andin a much shorter 

time. I did a test using RB-17 

on a .38 super barrel that had 

approximately 800 rounds fired 

without cleaning. I applied 

some RB-17 to a brass brush 

and made 6-8 passes through 

the barrel and compensator and 

let it sit for approximatley 10 

minutes. Using the same 

brush, another 6-8 passes were 

made through the barreVcompensator 

followed by a 

couple of passes with clean 

patches. To my amazement, the 

barrel was spotless with no 

trace of lead in the chamber or 

rifling. My .38 super is 

equipped with a VIC International 

double chambered 

compensator and I've been very 

pleased with the performance. 

However, due to the design, it 

is difficult to get this hi-tech 

marvel, with all the specially 

designed cracks and crevices, 

really clean. I poured some RB- 

17 into the areas that were 

inaccessible with the bore brush 

and let it sit for a short period 

and all that remained was to 

scrape away the lead particles 

that were in smaller confines of 

the compensator. 

Well, being a curious 

person, I contacted GBC Industries 

to find out what makes 

RB-17 work better than any- 

thing else I've tried. What 

follows is an old country boy's 

translation of language used by 

a chemical engineer. RB-17 is 

an ammonia base cleaner that 

comes in gel form. It is not a 

solvent or petroleum, and it is 

biodegradable. Basically RB-17 

removes the oxygen atom from 

rust, copper, lead, etc., and 

turns it into a liquid for easy 

removal from the surface it has 

adhered too. 

RB-17 has been found 

safe for all surfaces including 

rubber. Also, RB-17 does not 

harm the bluing or woodgrips. 

In fact RB-17 will remove the 

oil from the surface of an oilsoaked 

gun stock. The makers 

of RB-17 also market an excellent 

oil that I feel is equivalent 

to anything else on the market 

today. 

I don't know if I opened 

any eyes or not but I am very 

impressed with the products 

marketed by GBC Industries. 

All I can say is try it, you'll like 

it. If not, well, I'll be out shooting 

while everyone else is home

PRIZES - CLASSES - EQUITY 

By: Stan Olsen L-626 

I've noted letters in the 

shooting periodicals on Prizes, 

Classes, and Equity from concerned 

athletes of all experience 

levels. Notice I call competing 

shooters athletes because the 

events they participate in 

require coordination, dexterity, 

ability, speed, and strength. 

Every letter had elements of 

well-founded concern and all 

appeared to have the sport's 

best interest at heart. I would 

like to review each of these 

topics from hopefully an objective 

point of view, offer some 

comments and suggestions, and 

solicit some responses. 

Prizes: The rewards for 

excellence in competition can 

range from a small trophy to 

thousands of dollars in cash. 

The amount and type of prizes 

offered at matches hinges on 

several items. 

A. Entry fee 

B. Number of competitors 

C. Sponsorships from manufacturers 

D. Match overhead 

If categories a, b, or c are 

low, or category d is high, the 

prize table will get smaller. In 

fairness to most match directors, 

they try to do their best for 

the contestants. Most local and 

regional matches want to turn 

a modest profit, so the hosting 

club can improve its facilities, 

props, etc., for bigger andbetter 

matches. If competitors feel 

that the awards or award 

system was less than satisfactory 

they should voice their 

concern diplomatically, with a 

capital "D. The hectic pace 

and stress of running a major 

match will no doubt make the 

match director a bit sensitive on 

match days. 

However, during happy 

hour #2, the time may be right 

for a comment. If not, drop him 

a note - don't forget to say 

something positive. Ifthings do 

not change, do not return. Loss 

of entrants will get their attention! 

Classes: This subject 

has been hashed, rehashed, and 

ground into oblivion. The 

current USPSA system has 

stood the strictest test and not 

been found wanting. This norm 

referenced system is the best for 

our sport, since it continually 

allows for more growth and 

proficiency, while maintaining 

a class system of equity (funny 

I should use that word). 

Equity: Our sport is 

now at a juncture that seems to 

A 

interfere with equity in prizes, 

classes, and contestant enjoyment. 

A dramatic growth has 

occurred in technology and 

levels of performance. These 

very advances place equity of 

prizes and classing in jeopardy. 

Technology can be purchased; 

skill, or performance 

levels are obtained by a sometimes 

difficult combination of 

things not available to everyone. 

They are: 

1. Practice time 

2. Usually a special or private 

facility to practice the things we 

do (most ranges frown on one 

drawing from the holster, 

vaulting the barricade, and 

running ten yards down range 

to double tap a target. 

3. Lots of ammunition or 

components 

4. Reloading time 

PLAN A: Reload 2 hours, Practice 1 hour. 

PLAN B: OPEN YOUR CASE OF OUR QUALITY RELOADED

EXCEPTIONAL SECTIONALS 

By: Ned Christensen A-12453 

Ned Christensen 

Michigan's 1990 Sectional 

Championship is going to be 

talked about in these parts for 

a long time, and with good 

reason. Ask any shooter who 

frequents the Michigan IPSC 

circuit, and he will almost 

certainly tell you that it was the 

best match yet hosted on Michigan 

soil. 

The event was hosted by 

South Kent Practical Shooters. 

Match Director was consummate 

perfectionist, Ed Tudor, 

without whom the match might 

have been something less than 

it was. 

Not that Ed works 

alone. His band of merry ROs 

and support staff -- the cooks 

(great food!) statisticians, stage 

builders, the sign painter -- all 

chipped in to make a smooth, 

fun shoot. 

Stage one, Concentration 

Standards: Not your 

average boring standards. 

Page 20 

Times were short, firing positions 

and distances varied. 

Concentration was definitely in 

order to make sure that you did 

indeed fire one shot at TI, two 

at T2, and three at T3 in string 

one, and the exact opposite in 

string four. As if that wasn't 

bad enough, course designer 

Kevin Travis stipulated that in 

string two the shooter must do 

it both ways with a reload in 

the middle. 

Stage three, The Night 

Before: Here the competitor 

started seated in a reclining 

chair. At the buzzer, the pistol 

and ammo were retrieved, from 

the top of the TV. From the 

left of the TVIwall, three poppers 

were engaged, from the 

right side, two more at the end 

of a hallway. En route down 

said hallway, the shooter encountered 

three rooms, each 

with a pair of targets. However, 

the targets in room two were 

no shoots, in the form of a lifesized 

picture of Bartles & 

James. These boys never took 

a hit, but they came awfully 

close a few times! At the end of 

the hallway was box C, from 

which an unobscured popper 

was shot. While covering the 

12 feet to box D, two more 

targets, each in their own mm, 

were engaged. Upon arrival to 

box D, PP7 became visible and 

was the last target of the 

course. 

Stage four, Wet Pursuit: 

Good clean fun. The 

shooter started in the shower, 

just turning off the water. The 

pistol and ammo were waiting 

on the bathroom shelf. After 

exiting the shower, the shooter 

engaged PP1, which caused a 

no-shoot to cover TI. PPI also 

activated a mover with BAT0 

(bungee assisted take-off), 

which moved right to left, from 

cover to cover. 

Stage five, 1 or 2, That 

is the Question: This was a 

modified Comstock course in 

which only one hit per target 

was required, but the highest 

two hits per target would be 

scored. 

Three banks of four 

targets challenged the shooter 

to try to figure out if he should 

lose time and gain points or 

save time and lose points. As 

each successive bank of four 

was further away and made 

smaller by hard cover, the 

quandary was further complicated 

by making one think it 

might be worthwhile to doubletap 

just the first bank and oneeach 

the rest, or maybe doubletap 

the first eight and ... well, 

you get the picture. I suppose 

some people sat up late with 

their calculator and figured it 

all out, but I think most people 

figured it like I did--I'm here to 

shoot, not do brain teasers! -- 

and double tapped 'em all. 

Stage six, Take Your 

Pick: This was another stage 

with two quite different approaches 

offered to the shooter. 

Stage props consisted of a 

rectangular room which the 

shooter never entered, but had 

to shoot through (option 2). In 

the near wall, there were two 

large windows. In the far wall 

were two narrow vertical slots. 

In option 2, the shooter had to 

move laterally until targets on 

the other side of the far wall 

came into view. Three of the 

/Continued on next pagel 

Front Sighf

MICHIGAN /con.t.i 

targets could be seen from box 

B, and three from box C. Very 

few used option two. Most 

preferred option one, in which 

the shooter simply climbed a 

ladder leaning against the near 

wall for an unobstructed view of 

all seven targets. 

Several big names did 

their part to make this an 

exceptional sectionals, including 

Bar-Sto, Metaloy, Safariland, 

Dave Zimmerman Guns, Second 

Chance Body Armor, and more. 

Their support with merchandise 

and certificates went a long way 

in giving this match that "big 

time" aura and was much 

appreciated. 

This match might just 

have set a standard for Michi- 

gan sectional matches. Next 

year it is to be held in Brighton, 

and I can tell you those boys do 

not like to be out done, so it's 

bound to be good! Be there.

PRACTICAL SHOOTING ... 

BEYOND FUNDAMENTALS 

Written by Brian Enos 

"Brian's book is the 

best book ever written on 

the Sport of Practical 

Shooting." Dave Stanford, 

U.S. RD, I.P.S.C. President, 

United States Practical 

Shooting Association. 

I have never before 

given such a sweeping 

endorsement of any book or 

product available in our sport. 

Brian's book, written for the 

serious Practical Shooting 

competitor is not for the 

shooter who is just learning to 

shoot. It is however, for anyone 

who has been involved in our 

competitions for a year or 

more, or for a new competitor 

that is transferring in from 

another sport. 

Why? Because to really 

benefit you have to be "beyond 

the fundamentals," of Practical 

Shooting, just as the title 

states. Yes, the book has 

sections on grip, modifications 

to firearms for various and 

specific purposes, like many 

other books. However, this is 

not the main focus of the book. 

It is a book about getting to 

know yourself, about taking 

control of your competitive life, 

and enabling yourself to 

function to the best of your 

ability. 

In my opinion it is a 

must read for every serious 

shooter. I guarantee that after 

you have read the book once it

you will be back reading it 

again and again as you 

progress through the sport. 

Passages that seem obscure on 

the first reading will become 

crystal clear when you actually 

experience the blend of mindbody 

functions described in the 

book. 'You can shoot without 

thought, without effort, and 

without limitations. You first 

have to understand those 

limitations, and that's what 

this book is all about." I could 

go on and on and never do the 

book justice. Rather than that, 

we have an article that is an 

original summary of material 

contained in the book printed 

in this issue of the magazine.

THE INSIDE VIEW OF WORLD SHOOT IX 

By: Russ James A-1684 

For the 6 men and 4 women 

of the U.S. Team, World Shoot 

IX was 10 days of frustration, 

laughter, wind, mud, blood, and 

tears. As the Team Manager 

I'm presenting this view from 

"The Inside" as the 10 US Team 

members lived it. A tribute to 

the best of the best. 

At registration we found that 

unlike other international 

matches, our US Mens and 

Ladies teams would not compete 

as a unit. We were split 

into 2 separate squads, apparently 

to afford other competitors 

theopportunity to compete with 

the Americans. 

On day 1 we stepped into the 

first of 8 wind whipped days on 

the flat Australian ranges. 

Gusts up to 50 MPH lashed us 

relentlessly. Our faces stung 

and pistols choked from the 

daily sandblasting. Hourly 

passing squalls broke the monotony 

as rain flew horizontally 

across the range. ~argets, hats, 

and score sheets were always 

seen flying through the air, 

high above the berms. 

The US Mens Team tackled 

Stage 2, consisting of 4 poppers 

at 40 yds. through a low-port. 

This was a concealed carry 

stage, scored by a unique type 

of "Virginia Count". Doug 

Koenig ripped open his jacket, 

thrust a P-9 through the port 

and sent 4 rounds into the 

wind. He was the only man in 

squad #1 to hit all 4 poppers! 

With a 4.10 sec. run he factored 

a 9.66, nearly doubling the next 

closest. 

The American Ladies started 

on a hose down, close quarters 

room-clearing exercise. Kippi 

Boykin zipped through the 

room, setting the ladies' high 

factor. 

By the end of Day #2, all the 

team and individual scores were 

too close to figure. Shooters 

from the Philippines, Australia, 

France, Italy, and the UK have 

unquestionably closed the gap. 

Each country has one or more 

Master Level shooter capable of 

winning any given stage. 

Meanwhile, the US Ladies' 

team had set a blistering pace. 

They each turned in one or 

more Master performance on 

demand. 

By midweek the 4-member 

US Ladies Team; James, 

Boykin, Hamilton, and Kimbrel 

were all within 10 points of the 

lead held by Kippi Boykin. 

On day 5, the US 

Mens' Team had to 

face an insidious 

little 100 point stage 

called "The Tunnel". 

This stage, of all 29, 

was to have the 

most profound 

impact on the entire 

match. "The 

Tunnel" consisted of 

several concrete 

drain pipes lined up 

end to end for about 

35 yards. A few 

tareets were 

engaged at the end 

of each pipe before 

crawling into the 

next. Problem being 

the pipes had inner 

diameters of only 4 

feet! We each 

finished the stage 

with varying 1 

amounts of injury. 

- 

As the results of this stage 

came in it became shockingly 

apparent that a shooter's factor 

was directly proportional to 

hisher height. 

On day 6 we went into the 

speed matches. By now the 

shooters were seeing targets 

patched with bone white pasters 

all week. Apparently someone 

had forgotten to order common 

buff pasters for the IPSC World 

Championships. And, ironically, 

with all those white pasters 

there weren't any white noshoots. 

No-shoots were buff 

colored targets with a black 

crayola slash on it. Thus, at a 

distance it was hard, if not 

impossible in the daily sandstorm 

to tell if a target was 

friend or foe. During these

HECKLER .& KOCH MAY BE SOLD 

According to an Oct. 30, 1990 article in the Wall Street 

Journal, Heckler & Koch is in financial difficulties and is talking 

with three potential purchasers. Heckler & Koch confirmed it was 

negotiating a takeover by one of three West European companies 

but would name no names. 

Glat International is known to be shopping for acquisitions 

according to the Journal article, and has acknowledged it is 

negotiating to buy Fabrique National Heretal SA of Belgium. It 

was speculated that they may also be considering purchase of H&K. 

Heckler & Koch's troubles arose when Germany froze a 60 

million-mark start up order for the new Gll rifle for the German 

Army. With the thaw in East/West relations they apparently felt 

the funds could be better used to help unify Germany.

In every truly unlimited 

performance I've had there was 

a feeling of total effortlessness. 

There isn't any room in 

shooting for using effort; nothing 

we do really demands it. If 

you're not aimed at the target, 

aim at the target. If you need 

to fire the gun, press the trigger. 

If the gun is empty, 

change the magazine.. You 

know how to do all these things; 

it's tension, whether mental, 

visual, or physical, that makes 

them seem difficult. 

Our sport is a tension 

sport. People who began their 

competitive shooting through 

IPSC may never understand 

how important it is to relax 

because the tension is always 

there. But any high-speed 

movement can be performed 

much more smoothly, quickly, 

and precisely when you're 

relaxed. You really only need to 

have the experience of relaxation 

through a few strings of 

fire to understand its effect on 

your performance. 

Learning to relax first 

comes from having an awareness 

of the existence of tension. 

Understand your condition. 

Mount the gun and "tune in" to 

your stance. 

Notice, for in- 

stance, if you feel excess or 

unequal tension in your arms, 

hands, fingers, neck -- any 

where. 

When you fire the gun, 

do you feel tension increase in 

one hand, both hands, your 

shoulders, stomach, face -- 

anywhere? Focus your attention 

on different areas. It's 

particularly helpful to monitor

the tension in your face. Do 

you clench your teeth, press 

your tongue against the mof of 

your mouth, squint your eyes, 

dip your head? Another important 

area is the stomach muscles. 

Don't worry about where 

your shots go or what your time 

is when you're checking yourself 

out; you're trying to discover 

something else. 

Check your "visual 

tension." Can you follow the 

front sight, keeping it in clear 

focus all through the recoil cycle 

of the gun? Can you see muzzle 

flash? Is your vision relaxed 

enough so that you notice brass 

coming out of the gun? You 

may never be consciously aware 

of seeing the brass, or of seeing 

lead splatter off steel, or seeing 

anything but what you need to 

see to hit the targets, but in a 

state of total relaxation those 

things can be seen. 

To become aware of your 

tension, you may have to 

change your routine. As I said 

% - 

1.11,: :WI!U.I. I!. :.:: !:nos practicing his techniques 

earlier, IPSC is a tension-inducing 

sport, and if you've never 

experienced relaxation in IPSC 

shooting then it stands to 

reason that you wouldn't be 

aware of your tension if you're 

"practicing" IPSC. Shoot groups 

instead. Fire into a dirt bank. 

Use targets set at radically 

different distances than what 

you normally practice on. Start 

with the gun in your hand 

instead of drawing it. Do 

something different to get out of 

your routine so that you can 

begin to experience your shooting 

for the first time again. It's 

then--when there aren't any 

preconceptions or routines--that 

you11 open up, and feel what's 

actually happening as you 

shoot. 

Turn off the timer! My 

first real awareness of the 

excess muscle tension I was 

shooting with came when I 

made a few runs on a stage 

without a timer. My partner

ready to dip down under its own 

weight. That's all the pressure 

necessary and that's all the 

pressure you'll want to shoot 

your best. Get the feeling of 

suspending the gun between 

your eyes and the target. 

Excess muscle tension 

does not help control. Fire a 

shot gripping the pistol as hard 

as you can and with as much 

muscle tension as you can 

muster in your upper body. 

Then hold the pistol with just 

enough tension in your hands, 

arms, and shoulders to keep the 

gun from dropping down and 

fire again. You will see plenty 

of muzzle flip in both conditions. 

But, if you pay attention, 

youmay find that the gun tends 

to stay elevated with the extratense 

hold, while the more 

relaxed hold tends to allow your 

wrists to naturally and quickly 

return the pistol back to where 

it started. 

I use breathing to help 

me achieve a more relaxed state 

on the line. I try to just 

breathe normally, not taking 

huge, deep breaths, as I'm 

getting ready to shoot. When 

the RO gives me the "ready?" 

command, I breathe in just 

slightly deeper and then exhale, 

feeling the air settle into my 

stomach. I exhale down to the 

point where I'm holding about 

the same amount of air as I 

would if I were talking to 

someone. I'm not forcibly 

holding more air than is comfortable, 

and I'm not trying to 

push out every last bit. 

Feeling the air settle in 

my stomach serves to help relax 

my stomach muscles, which is 

of tremendous significance to 

your overall relaxation. If you'll 

notice, just about any time a 

tense situation arises, whether 

it's getting up before a crowd or 

facing down an El Presidente, 

tensing your stomach muscles is 

one -... of the first physical reac- 

~ 

tions you'll be aware of. 

When I know that the 

first shots coming up are going 

to allow me to open up to my 

absolute warp drive, it often 

helps me to exhale just slightly 

as I go for my gun. That air is 

exhaled from my lungs and 

gives a sensation of more air 

settlingintomy stomach, which 

relaxes those muscles just 

slightly more. 

Relaxed Vision 

Tension has an adverse 

effect on a shooter's ability to 

see. When you're tense, your 

eyes tend to glaze over to where 

they're no longer able to define 

and refine a focus. When your 

eyes get "tense," you don't see 

clearly, and as you know if 

you've read my book, I believe 

that vision controls the shooting. 

Whether you're focusing on 

the target, front sight, or shifting 

your focus back and forth, 

tense vision leads to a sensation 

that your eyes are "sticking" as 

you shift your focus through a 

stage to where your vision 

(seeing clearly) goes in bursts. 

You see for an instant, then you 

don't see, then you see again for 

another instant, and so on. We 

all experience this, and it 

almost always comes back to 

tension -- somewhere. 

To shoot well, you must 

have totally clear visual awareness 

of whatever you see. 

Relaxed vision -- being able to 

see the perforations in a target 

or noticing a fleck in the front 

sight black -- comes from having 

a relaxed mind that's opened up 

to the stage and is only aware 

of the simple act of firing the 

shots it requires, and from a 

relaxed body that's only taking 

the gun where your eyes send 

it. 

Present Tense Shooting 

Right now is when you 

shoot. It's not back at last 

target, or on to the stop plate, 

or at the reload you'll have after 

the next two shots, or on any 

one of those next two shots. It's 

right now. Just watch what you 

are doing -- observe what is 

happening when it is happening. 

Shooting right now releases 

the skills you've developed in 

compliance with what is necessary 

right now, in the present 

tense. 

In present tense shooting, 

there's never a need for 

extra effort; you do what is 

necessary and possible. Why do 

more? There is no tension in a 

mind and body that's operating 

Front Sight

completely in the present tense. 

There's really not any mental 

and physical; there's just "us." 

We're all of both, all the time. 

The experience of relaxation 

tends to remove the contradiction 

of separation. 

Continue to practice the 

specific challenges you'll face in 

IPSC matches, and practice 

courses of fire to the point 

where you feel comfortable with 

them, but don't neglect "relaxation 

practice." Refining shooting 

skills and setting strategies 

are important parts of any 

shooter's practice, but when 

you're in the match and the 

buzzer goes off, putting those 

skills to work almost always 

comes back to the level of 

relaxation you experience.

USPSA ICO~.~., 

with readily available guns and 

gear, is destined to be a sport for 

few. Strength to defend our 

sport can only come from dedicated 

members in large numbers. 

What is the answer? Is there 

an answer? Probably not an 

answer that will satisfy everyone. 

I am reluctant to ban 

anything from the sport unless 

it poses a safety problem, or is 

found to violate our principals. 

I think that within our principals 

there is room for development 

and innovation in all 

area's. 

A POSSIBLE SOLUTION 

A reasonable and a workable 

solution to the equipment race 

is for both the National organization 

and the Local clubs to 

place more emphasis on our 

stock firearm category. If stock 

category becomes more important, 

at all levels of competition, 

we will once again encourage the 

average man to get involved. 

The USPSA STOCK category 

leaves room for after market 

add-ons and changes, even 

replacement of the original 

barrel with a match barrel. So 

most of our competent gunsmiths 

and parts suppliers will still find 

a ready market for their wares. 

It does limit t h e m parts to 

3 Oz over factory issue. This 

would drop the current optical 

sights from STOCK class only. 

Stock firearms, even with 

additional gunsmithing, ambidextrous 

safety, beavertails and 

the like, "appear" very similar 

to their out of the box counterparts. 

The perception of individuals 

newly entering our sport is very 

important. Few individuals will 

spend much money on guns and 

gear until they get involved 

enough to test their aptitude and 

appreciation of the sport. 

USPSA STOCK category, to 

become more important, must be 

included within the main event 

and & as a "side" match. 

Overall match placement will be 

the same, however, Stock Class 

will receive Stock Champion, 2nd 

Stock, 3rd Stock awards. 

Eventually, there would even be 

classifications in both Unlimited 

and Stock category. 

Let me know what you think 

about the proposal. Without 

strong support from you, our 

USPSA shooters, and event 

organizers, implementation of 

such a program will not take 

place. Sports that don't react 

and change to satisfy the participants, 

are seen as non responsive; 

they soon lose adherents. 

Notice I am seriously considering 

awarding a NATIONAL 

STOCK CHAMPION trophy at 

the 1991 U.S. National Championships. 

Additional trophies will 

go down several places in stock 

category. Competitors in stock 

category have increased every 

year. 

I have to consider dropping the 

Revolver category from the 

Nationals. There just aren't 

enough revolvers at Nationals 

to justify awards. Revolvers 

would still be eligible for all 

other trophies. There are never 

more than two to four individuals 

competing with revolvers. 

WORLD ASSEMBLY ACTION 

NEW SCORING PROPOSALS 

A new scoring proposal by Mr. 

Denis I.P.S.C. President consisted 

of rewording the rules to 

require 3 scoring categories: 

Minor, Standard, and Major. 

Minor was proposed at 120 

Power Factor, minimum of 

7.62mm caliber. Standard was 

proposed at a minimum of 9mm 

caliber with a 150 power factor, 

Major was proposed at minimum 

of .40/10mm caliber and a 180 

power factor. 

Mr. Denis stated he wanted 

to lower the minimum bullet 

diameter to 7.62mm to allow the 

Russians to enter into the sport. 

He stated that the new minimum 

bullet diameters and revision of 

the power factors will bring us 

more in line with the sport as 

originally designed. Mr. Denis 

stated it would also remove the 

incentive to overload the 9mm 

and .38 Super. (Would there then 

be a tendency to overload the .32 

Auto?) 

Scoring looked like this: 

Minor Standard Maior 

Those that supported the new 

system felt very strongly about 

it. They felt it answered the 9mm 

.38 Super problem, which J.P. 

felt was unresolved at the 

world level. Some felt that 3 

bore diameters - scored accordingly 

better reflected our 

Principals. 

On behalf of the United States 

I advised them we would rather 

stay with a two category scoring 

system. 

If a three tier scoring system 

is adopted with point values, and 

power factors as outlined above, 

it would severely impact several 

years work that went into setting 

top scores for our National - 

International classification 

system. 

The German R.D. Proposed a 

change of the three tier scoring 

system advocated by Mr. Denis.

D 1 1 2 

With the German system a 

person shootingstandard at 150 

PF would only loose one point for 

a D zone hit, over that of Major 

calibers hit. The PF was at a 

level that both the 9mm and .38 

Super could easily be loaded, and 

the 150 was about factory 

ballistics for the Super. 

Larger calibers would still 

have a scoring advantage, of one 

point, on the D zone only. This 

reduced the "Major" advantage 

to about 5% or so, compared to 

about 20% as it is today. 

The large bore and heavier 

recoil for Major scoring is then 

nearly an even trade for the one 

point advantage gained when 

compared to the Standard 

calibers lower recoil and higher 

magazine capacity. 

If the German proposal is 

adopted the Standard scoring 

would not suffer under the 

handicap that minor mring does 

today. 

The argument against his 

proposal was the sport would 

become a 9mm sport with most 

people opting for higher magazine 

capacity, over the scoring 

advantage of major. 

Well, as you can see, there 

was a strong feeling among the 

delegates that some changes 

were necessary. Changes necessary 

to answer some countries' 

perception on the "9mm question." 

Changes to answer the 

desire of some individuals to 

bring the sport back to a big 

bore sport, or to make it attractive 

to more individuals. 

January/February 1991 

magnitude should not be instituted 

until there was ample time 

to analyze what the effects would 

really be. There was not time 

before the Assembly meeting to 

bring the issues before the 

leaders in the sport for input, 

much less take it to the membership. 

I again made those feelings 

known at the break. 

When the German RD 

Friedrich Gepperth, made a 

motion that effective 1993 you 

would need a minimum of 

.40/10mm caliber to make major, 

I supported it. This served 

several purposes the way I saw 

it. 

1. It Postponed implementation 

of other non acceptable 

programs. It was a 

compromise that enables us time 

to take a more in-depth look at 

all propositions. Now there is 

time to study proposed changes 

to our current system, and 

develop arguments both pro and 

con. 

2. Immediate changes 

affecting our sport would not 

be passed at this assembly. 

(Changes which auld impact the 

sport in ways never imagined 

when voted upon. When we 

propose changing our current 

power factors, scoring system, 

and minimum bullet diameter, 

we are dealing with important 

aspects of our sport.) 

Many individuals have invested 

a great deal of capital into 

guns, gear, and equipment. Their 

investment, and their commitment 

to our sport should not be 

outdated or brushed aside 

without serious thought by all 

concerned. (I had no desire to 

return from this meeting with 

the word that the assembly had 

implemented a program with 

which our shooters could not 

abide.) 

3. Notice has now been given 

to our shooters that a strong 

feeling exists among the Intemational 

leaders of our sport that 

some adjustments need to be 

taken. What those adjustments 

will be, we won't know until the 

Assembly in South &ca in Od. 

1991. We now at least have time 

to seriously consider the implications 

of the proposed changes. 

Nineteen Ninety One is an 

election year for I.P.S.C. World 

President. I am sure there will 

be candidates other than J.P. 

running for the position. I would 

like to hear from potential candidates 

on these issues. I will make 

space in FRONT SIGHT 

available so they can advise all 

nations exactly where they stand 

on the issues. We will then be 

able to judge what direction 

potential new leaders will move. 

I believe the likelihood of the 

.40/10mm minimum bullet 

diameter lasting through the 

1991 assembly is about 50 - 50. 

One compromise suggestion 

is to remain with our two power 

factors. Continue the minimum 

of 9mm bore diameter for 

Standard (minor), and adopt 

.40/10mm for Major. Implement 

the German suggestion, or a 

variation, for Standard and 

Major scoring. Use a scoring 

scheme that balances the points, 

and recoil factor so the differential 

between Major and Minor 

(standard) is fairly valued. 

Perhaps raising the power 

factor of Standard (minor) to that 

of a 9mm factory 124 grain load 

out of a 4" barrel (about 135) 

would help promote the defensive 

aspect of our sport. Adjust the 

scoring differential between the 

big bores .40 & over, and stan-

PLAXCO TRAINING VIDEO 

By: Keith Gjeston A-12687 

"At the Beepl'by J. Michael Plaxco, is 

a two cassette, basic training video that is 

presented in a good, down-to-earth manner. 

The first video is 90 minutes long and 

covers the very basics. Plaxco starts with the 

target use, power factor, and then talks about 

the proper grip, sight alignment, stance, and 

continues on with everything a new pistol 

shooter should know. This cassette takes 

place in a classroom setting and is easy to 

watch and easy to listen to. 

The second cassette in this course is 

120 minutes long and takes place on the 

range. Plan on listening carefully as you are 

on a hot range along with the class who are 

reloading magazines and asking questions 

while Plaxco is speaking. Now you are going 

to see proper stance, grip, and sight alignment, 

as the class shoots live ammunition at 

IPSC targets. You will see what a good 

group is as compared to a poor one. This 

video goes on to show the new shooter "how" 

to shoot and practice. You don't need to be 

a new shooter to enjoy this video course. 

Even aRer shooting a few years, it does one 

good to go back to the basics.

SPRINGFIELD EXPANDS STAFF TO 

ADMINISTER SHOOTING SPORTS 

PROGRAM 

Springfield Armory's 

competition shooting program 

has received still another boost 

as a result of departmental 

restructuring by the Illinoisbased 

firearms manufacturer. 

Effective Octobver 15, 1990 

Springfield's Shooting Sports 

Division will be absorbed into 

the company's in-house advertising 

and public relations 

department and will be administered 

by members of an expanded 

promotion staff. 

According to Springfield 

President, Tom Reese, both 

competitive shooters and event 

organizers will be direct beneficiaries 

of the new approach. 

"We tried operating the Shooting 

Sports Division as a separate 

entity for a year. But 

we've come to the conclusion 

that our professional advertising 

and public relations staff is 

really the best trained and 

equipped group to handle this 

very important promotional 

function. By bringing our 

Shooting Sports Division back 

in-house, we think we can 

maintain very close, personal 

contact with our shooters and 

the match organizers and be 

much more able to provide them 

all with assistance in a prompt 

timely manner." 

Reese also said that the 

growth ofthe support staffis, in 

effect, a recommitment on 

Springfield's part to remain 

very actively involved in the 

American shooting sports. 'We 

are the leader in manufacturersponsorship, 

and we intend to 

stay in front of the pack he 

pledged.

match held the Saturday before 

the Nationals. I know it's a little 

late. Sorry. 

In response to your fwst 

question, I would not attend a 

separate ladies match only. The 

expense would be too great to 

travel to the ladies match, and 

then the Nationals if a slot was 

earned. The solution is not a 

separate match for ladies in any 

competition. 

The Board of Director's policy 

of encouraging ladies in 

competition is great, and hopefully 

will continue. However, I also 

believe the ladies qualif~er now 

held before the Nationals, should 

be eliminated. I believe this 

practice, no matter how 

encouraging, is unfair. Each 

"Shooter" should have to earn a 

slot to compete in the Nationals 

in the same way. A solution could 

be to award more slots to ladies 

at the Area Championships. 

Award a slot at the area level not 

only to High Lady, but to second 

place lady as well. The 5 slots 

now awarded at the ladies qualifier 

(plus 3) could be given to each of 

the 8 areas for this purpose. 

Hopefully in the futu~ the number 

of women shooters will increase 

greatly, and the problem of how 

to encourage ladies in our sport 

will be solved.

Enclosed are a few thoughts 

I had while driving home from 

the Nationals. Copies are also 

being sent to Andy, Al, and Ken. 

I hope they are of some use. They 

are intended as food for thought 

and any mitickax should be taken 

constructively. 

The 1990 Nationals were the 

best yet. The staff you have 

trained and assembled is the best 

in the world. Only those involved 

are truly aware of the scope and 

complexity of putting on the 

biggest IPSC match ever held. 

Range Officers are now spreading 

their newly acquired expertise to 

clubs in every part of the country. 

Competitors will be sharing the 

new techniques learned there and 

demanding improvement in the 

matches held at the club level. 

The past few years we have seen 

the creation of a truly nationwide 

network of outstanding officials 

who are leading our sport to 

success. Your confidence in our 

ability was evident this year in 

the increased responsibilities of 

many people, most notably Andy 

and Al. I hope the results of our 

efforts equal the viaion that guided 

you during our sports development 

You may consider this my 

application to participate in the 

1991 Nationals. Please let me 

know if I can be of assistance in 

any of your efforts.

READERS ~coir., 

choosing h n Area Championahips 

and from the top of the classifier 

list is much fairer, and infmitely 

more consistent way of deciding 

who should be shooting the 

National Match. It also keeps 

people from sandbagging (shooters 

who shoot to less than their 

abilities on classifiers risk 

dropping themselves h m the top 

of their class). And it makes local 

matches important to anyone who 

aspires to shoot in the nationals 

or any other "big" match. There 

isn't any other way than local 

matches to get classified is there? 

The answer to your question 

about funding should be obvious. 

Why change the present means? 

Keep the present system of 

classification, just junk the slot 

allocation. I don't know anvone 

who is upset with having to pay 

an additional dollar to get hisher 

classifier stage registered with 

USPSA. Some are a little upset 

with the time that it takes to get 

a classification back, but that 

appears to be getting better. 

Shooters want to be classified no 

matter how Nationals slots are 

divided up. And I think that 

regardless ofwhether there is or 

is not a Mission Count setup, clubs 

will continue to have classifiers. 

Though requiring a club to shoot 

a minimum number per year to 

remain afliliated is an idea to 

consider if you're afraid of losing 

revenue. 

While the ole' word processor 

is hot I might as well throw 

several more cents worth in. First, 

I think that the Nationals should 

be a Championships, not an open 

Turkey Shoot. Selection should 

be an honor bestowed for 

performance, not a privilege of 

membership. If there are more 

than about 4 or 5 percent of our 

membership shooting in the 

Nationals, then we become like 

the National Hodcey League where 

21 teams fight all year to see

which 5 don't play in the playoffs. 

Then going to the Nationals 

doesn't mean much, the costs and 

headaches of administration of 

the Nationals become 

insurmountable, and nothing prior 

to the Nationals means anything. 

Second, there are obvious 

advantages to be gained by the 

vendor group which is advocating 

revolver neutral matches. Let 

them sponsor BORING PPC 

matches if they want to see 

revolvers on an equal footing. 

Revolvers are not equal. They 

cannot compete directly against 

autos, and it's apparent why they 

can't. I think that it is foolish to 

hamstring course design with an 

arbitrary X-shot limit. It creates 

repetitive, unexciting stages that 

involve more running than 

gunning. However, I think that 

some sensible judgement by murse 

designers is warranted. I shot 

a revolver when I first started 

IPSC, but moved on to a .45 when 

it was plain that I couldn't be 

competitive with a wheelgun. 

Then, after being 10-shot &i~&ed 

to death by course designers who 

just happened to be shooting 

supers, I made the 38 super 

plunge. Now it's easy ta predict 

an 18-shot string craze. I don't 

know about anyone else, but I'll 

be shooting my super until it 

becomes imPRACTICAL to do so. 

I don't think I want to try to sell 

the wife on the necessity of 

plunking down another 3 grand 

on a 50-shot auto. 

Third, I'm FOR safety. SAAMI 

is the defacto last word on whether 

or not a cartridgefloadlgun 

combination is safe. There's a 

place for pushing cartridge 

capability to the limit and on a 

firing line with R(Ys and &torn 

- 

at risk ISN'T IT! I agree with 

keeping the light-bullet supers 

and 9mm paddellurns mincr power 

factor only. It's just like skydiving 

with only one parachute. 

Statistically, it catches up with

some inexperienced novice trying 

to emulate you Let's set 

responsible examples. 

Fourth, I think the survey was 

a great idea. But it can be taken 

a step further. Why not put some 

of these issues to a vote of the 

general membership? I think 

there is a definite correlation 

between the satisfaction of the 

members of an organization and 

the amount of participation that 

they are allowed in determining 

the organization's policies and 

direction Hence Gngress' current 

unpopularity. 

Lastly, I think overall USPSA 

is doing a goodjob. I've not been 

a member long enough to 

remember the "good old days", so 

I don't know first hand how much 

better (or worse) things have 

gotten. But I'm able to shoot in 

SAFE, fun matches several times 

a month. I shoot with people who 

feel the same way that I do about 

shooting, and who go out of their 

way to encourage other shooters 

at all levels. The courses of fire 

are diverse and challenging 

(although the classifiers could be 

a little more free-format and less 

rigid). I am kept apprised of the 

issues that affect me and the spok 

And the Range Officers in my area 

are top-notch, and "hassle-free". 

Plus I have comparatively few bad 

experiences ("questionable calls" 

bureaucratic delays, some people 

more equal than others, etc.) in 

IPSC. These things add up to an 

environment conducive to growth, 

which the sport is doing. Keep 

up the hard work.

dard bores 9mm so they are 

more evenly balanced. If 

shooting Major did not have such 

an overwhelming scoring advantage 

more people would choose 

to shoot minodstandard. Would 

that be bad? 

I know one thing, I will not 

support any proposal that would 

immediately relegate either .38 

Super, or 9mm to a non competitive 

status. 

Nearly one third of our shooters 

are shooting .38 Super, and 

more changing everyday. That 

means about 3,000 members 

have invested thousands of 

dollars in state of the art firearms 

and equipment for that 

caliber. Those shooters who have 

invested in the .38 super, the 

"winning" gun in our sport, are 

the most active shooters across 

the nation. That devotion and 

faithfulness no-one can, or 

should disregard. 

I am aware of your commitment 

to our sport, and the 

money you have invested in it. 

I will do everything I can to find 

a fair solution to our developing 

problem. 

If, through action of the World 

Assembly, sweeping changes are 

instituted which may jeopardize 

your dedication and investment 

in our sport, you will be consulted 

before those changes are 

implemented in the U.S. 

Our membership will have the 

opportunity for input and in all 

likely hood will be able to vote 

on their acceptance, or rejection 

within USPSA. 

I, and your USPSA Board 

Of Directors are all serious 

shooters. We care about you 

and your sport and will do 

everything in our power to 

see that undue or unnecessary 

restrictions are not 

implemented.

Mr. Bob Chittleborough,

(9x19) Major and presented information 

with respect to the safety aspects 

of this equipment in Europe. 

General discussion ensued on the

"Speed stages I joined a long 

list of notables who "A-Zoned" a 

buff colored no-shoot. These 

included Koenig and Barnhart 

whose "Tunnel" lead was then 

cut to within 15 pts. going into 

what I called the "Hi-Capacity" 

berms. 

The "Hi-Capacity" berms 

were a string of stages, each 

requiring 12 to 16 rounds. 

Early on, I diplomatically 

pointed this out to one international 

RO who toldme; "Tut tut, 

anyone can reload quickly 

enough to carry on ..." He was 

singing a different tune after 

our American P-9s' and S&Ws' 

sent his stage factors through 

the roof! Because of this, the 

US Mens' Team froze out all the 

rest. Any hope of another 

national team winning was 

gone! 

Day 8 was the last day. The 

Americans had already nailed 

down both Gold Medals for 

team aggregates in stages 1-27. 

Now stages 28 and 29, a total of 

16 bullets, would decide who got 

all the marbles. 

Stages 28 and 29 were both 8 

round low-light stages. Both 

contained electronic time-outs 

that gave a shooter about 2 

heart beats to run the razors 

edge or zero the stage: One 

third of all competitors at World 

Shoot M scored a "0" on one of 

these stages. 

Doug Koenig stared at the 

floor, head lightly bobbing as he 

counted shot cadences in his 

mind. Kippi and husband Doug 

talked quietly off to the side. 

Robbie signed an autograph 

then playfully pushed an Aussie 

shooter, causing a hilarious 

commotion. Jerry's jaw 

twitched as he slowly circled the 

room, constantly passing his 

hand under the holstered Pro- 

Point, making absolutely sure 

that the red ball was there. 

Mark Mazzotta, Plaxco, and 

Deb sat in a darkened comer 

with towels covering their heads 

and faces, prepping the eyes for 

max night vision. 

The men were first to shoot. 

Doug Koenig was the first to 

finish stages 28 and 29, firing 2 

solid runs. Quite wisely he 

didn't go for stage wins, he 

went for match win. Robbie 

shot 2 fantastic scores but the 

8 rnd. stages weren't weighted 

enough for him to regain the 

lead. Mike Plaxco's pistol had 

a major malfunction in the total 

darkness of his final stage. 

Unable to see the problem Mike 

took a "0" on stage 29. Finishing 

4th overall shows what kind 

of match he had going at that 

point! 

The "Burner", Jerry 

Barnhart, was last but not 

least. He fried stage 28 by 

rippling 8 shots in around 2.99 

seconds. The resulting factor 

put Jerry within 10 points of 

the lead. He needed one more 

run like that to take the crown 

by force. Everyone in the foyer 

knew it. Doug walked over to 

me and said something that 

every shooter should remember; 

"...Russell, if he beats me, he 

beats me. I didn't give it to 

him ..." A simple yet profound 

statement from the soon to be 

IPSC World Champion. 

"Burner" took the final stage 

with shot breaks at around .18. 

He needed .16s' to win the 

match. 

The US Ladies all in 

contention for the title were 

next. Shirley Hamilton and 

Sharon Kimbrel, first to shoot 

were bitten by the "Low-Light" 

bug.

Kippi Boykin survived stage 

28, getting all her points even 

while firing in several seconds 

of darkness! She finished stage 

29 in 6 seconds putting her in a 

commanding lead. 

Debby James was the last of 

the US Team to shoot a pistol 

in Australia. A match veteran, 

she knew what must be done. 

She finished stage 28 in 3.80 

seconds, a Master run. 

Sitting in a darkened car, 

was the start position of stage 

29. On signal, she groped in 

the pitch black glove box for her 

.38 super. 8 muzzles blasts lit 

the darkened room in 4.60 

seconds. She exited the car, 

showed clear, and walked 

downrange into IPSC history. 

The only woman to ever win 

consecutive World Titles. 

World Shoot M was not the 

picnic we'd expected. It was 9 

days of hard work. At weeks 

end we, the Americans, asserted 

beyond any shadow of a doubt, 

our continued dominance in the 

sport of IPSC. 

The closing ceremonies were 

very disappointing. Traditionally, 

champions and nations are 

honored for excellence in inter- 

national competition. 

At the 

awards banquet, the 2 IPSC 

World Champions were initially 

mentioned in a "By-The-Way" 

fashion, not by name, but as 

"...The lady ..." and "... the match 

winner ..." Our US Mens' and 

Womens' teams, two of the 

strongest IPSC teams ever 

assembled, and the very'best in 

the world were called up piecemeal, 

omitting members names. 

They fought the good fight 

and won in the eyes of extreme 

adversity. And, although only

NROI REPORT: Andy 

Hollar reported on NROI. He stated 

the new rule books had been printed 

and mailed, and Range Officer log 

books were printed and mailed to all 

certified range officers. The annual 

Range Master Instruetor Conference 

was held April 21-22 in Denver with 

all active instructors present. NROI 

has sponsored 26 seminars to date 

with 15 more schools scheduled. 

Guidelines have been established for 

Range Masters use in reviewing 

courses for tournament status and a 

recertification test has been created 

for those whose certification has 

lapsed. He also reported on the 3- 

gun match and the progress of 

sponsors for the U.S. Nationals.. 

MISSION COUNT: David 

reported that 550 slob had been 

issued to clubs and sections with 

335 ~ointa required per slot. If a

they were sent an additional slot. 

There will be space for 500 at the

sections and the BOD to find other 

locations and review the information 

at the BOD meeting in January 

1991. 

MOTION: Marc Halwn moved, 

based on the results of the survey, 

USPSA investigate leasing or

M0TION:John Sayle moved 

whereas it is the goal of USPSA to 

foster competition wherein the skill 

of the shooter is to be tested rather 

than the capacity of his firearm, the 

following guidelines are adopted for 

1990 with the intention of 

implementing these guidelines into 

approved USPSA policy: 

1. No more than 6 shoot targets will 

be presented at anyone shooting 

point w/o requiring a reload or 

allowing sufficient time to reload. A 

time of 2 seconds is deemed as 

sufficient time to reload. 

2. Shooting points will have a 

minimum of 10 feet of movement. 

That movement does not necessarily 

need to be a straight or lateral 

movement ie; a 6 foot sideways 

movement to a doorway followed by 

a 4 foot forward movement before 

engagement. 

3. If more than 3 shoot targets are 

exposed at anyone shooting point, 

only one hit per target will be 

swred, or a mixture of steel and 

cardboard targets can be used as 

long as no more than 6 hits are 

required. 2nd Passed unanimously. 

Discussion of letter received 

from PASA regarding long term use 

of the PASA facilities. Walt Rauch

book, the USPSA notes should be in

rules in the front.

for use by all clubs as 

guidelines in setting up and running 

a match and is available to anyone 

requesting it. 

REPORT ON HOME RANGE: Andy 

Hollar reported on his tour of 

Whittington Center in New Mexico 

and Chapman Academy in Missouri. 

Discussion of these and PASA 

facilities followed. It was agreed the 

search warranted extensive research 

and the project should not be shed 

into. Dave mentioned it would not 

be possible to put on the Nationals 

in the form it is now without a lot of 

help if it were to be moved. He also 

stated you could not turn the match 

over to a new R.D. as a turn key 

operation. To get started at a new

stages, that this issue be addressed 

through the Level 2 seminar and not 

mandated. 2nd. Passed 

unanimously. 

Discussion by BOD of letter 

received from J.P. Denis dated 

8/27/90. They felt J.P. Denis was 

trying to run theU.S. Region, and all 

agreed we were not in violation of 

any IPSC rule. It was also agreed 

that David pursue a sliding scale 

proposal for voting and per capita 

payment by each &try.-~he BOD 

d~d not understand J.P. Denis's 

proposal for IPSC currency and 

they could continue the meeting. 

David felt the time to adjourn was 

past and a continuation was not in 

order. The meetingin January would 

be scheduled for as long as it was 

necessary to cover all topica. 

MOTION: to adjourn, Passed 

Unanimously.

PISTOLSMITH- 

requested Davetoget an explanation Route 2 Box 310. Watsontown. PA 17777 

at the World meebng. (717) 538-1566 

Walt Rauch requested 

discussion on 9 mm Major and 38 

Super. Bill Rogers felt it should be 

researched to find what the actual 

danger is if not properly loaded, (ie: 

what is the worst case scenario?) 

rather than what can be done safely. 

Walt requested that the committee Member American Plstoismrth Guild / 

that was appointed to investigate 9 

mm ~ajor- also investigate the 

loading of 9 mm cartridges other 

than standard factory velocities. 

Dave requested the committee meet 

during the Nationals, set up the 

standards under which they will 

operate and bringthose standards to 

the January meeting for approval. 

Dave brought before the 

BOD the need to install 

a networking system 

within the office. He 

asked Marc if he would 

be able to put an 

integrated ~ystem to 

work within his plans 

for an office if he were 

elected. Marc Halcon 

felt he would probably 

be using new software 

and would have no use 

for the system. 

Marc Halcon 

felt there were other 

items not on the agenda 

that needed to be 

covered pnor to the 

meetingadjourning. He 

felt even wlth four 

people leaving the 

meetine there would 

still bea quonun and
