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 Fowier, Ross Seyfried. M(ke 

Plaxco. Brian Enos. Chip McCormick and some 

kid named Robby. We asked that they let 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 for 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 

tor 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? 

It'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 two 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 is 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 ot 

knowing whether or not a cerlain technique or 

piece of equipment is helping or hurting you. 

Shooting timers, like guns, are not created 

equal. A training fimer 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 jack around with it. It must also provide 

you with -cue's" (in 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 

vVeve 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 

Bambij. 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'

FROM THE EDITOR 

Your new Board of Directors 

had its first meeting in 

January and it was one of the 

best I have attended. This two 

day meeting took place in 

Crystal City, VA, with all areas 

represented. 

The minutes of that meeting 

are printed in this issue 

but I wanted to mention three 

new appointments. Kathy 

Quilliam is the new corporate 

secretary, John Amidon is the 

new vice president and Bill 

Maund is the assistant vice 

president. As provided in the 

by-laws, the president appoints 

these officers and the 

Board ratifies them. Next 

time you talk with any one of 

the new officers give them 

your congratulations.

answer questions as well. 

They were auditing the years 

1990 and 1991. As I expected, 

both years were accepted as 

filed. The determination letter 

from the IRS didn't come until 

January so I wasn't able to 

let you know how it came out 

until now. 

We have had comments 

from some of our members 

that we are more concerned 

with keeping our tax-exempt 

status to saves taxes than to 

help fight the gun control battle. 

That is not entirely the 

story. By keeping our tax exempt 

status, we are recognized 

by our government as a 

SPORT. We were also able to 

get our show on "American 

Shooter" recently on TNN because 

we were a non-profit 

corporation. Things like this 

are important. Yes, we save 

money on taxes but we also 

receive benefits that we 

wouldn't have if we were just 

another corporation. 

I am getting used to the 

idea of not having Dave in 

the office to answer my questions 

and to handle some of 

the phone calls. Andy has 

taken to the job of President 

just as if he had always done 

it. We are in contact every 

day either by phone or by fax. 

What did people do before fax 

machines? If you have any 

doubt about where to call 

when you have a question or 

problem, call either one of us. 

If we can't answer it we will 

pass it on to the other office. 

The phone numbers for both 

offices are on the first page of 

this issue.

FROM OUR READERS 

• A NOTE FROM WALT 

RAUCH 

Dear Andy, 

As 1993 draws to a close and 

local matches have shut down 

for the winter, I find it is time 

to, once again, send in my 

NROI time sheet. I pause and 

reflect that I've been "running" 

shooters through IPSC matches 

since 1975 and, in reality, had 

done so prior to IPSC since I 

also officiated at NRA events as 

well as the Police Marksmansponsored 

PPC events. 

At this point, you might observe 

that all this reminiscing 

of a middle-aged shooter is 

vaguely interesting, but what's 

the point? 

The point is simply that I'm 

turning off my timer, retracting 

my ballpoint cartridge, dropping 

the role of tape, unloading 

the staple gun, giving the adjustable 

wrench to a shade tree 

mechanic and filing away the 

USPSA rule book. The spray 

pa.int will be donated to a 

worthwhile graffiti artist. I've 

enjoyed the recognition of being 

a certified Rangemaster-ranked 

range officer (even though I had 

to grandfather myself and 

about 25 other "old timers" into 

the ranks to insure that we had 

the ratings,) but it's time to re-

for length or clarity.. 

tire from active Range Officer 

status. 

When Dave Churilla, Dave 

Arnold, Lloyd Harper, Jake Jatras 

and I started the NROI, 

I'm sure no one ever envisioned 

the current fine group of men 

and women who so selflessly 

give and give again of themselves 

to promote the sport of 

IPSC and the United States 

Practical Shooting Association. 

If you would ask as to the 

"why" of this retirement, I reply 

that it is time that the newer 

shooters take a more active role 

in the work. The newcomers to 

the sport, in some instances, 

are shirkers who demonstrate 

that they think their match fees 

entitle them to a ride on the 

IPSC machine with no further 

effort on their part. In other 

cases, if fellows like me continue 

to jump in and run stages, 

the new NROI-trained shooter 

doesn't get a chance to practice 

what he has learned and his enthusiasm 

to do so may well ebb 

the longer he is denied a chance 

to practice what was preached 

to him. 

Thanks to you, Dave and 

Marilyn, for bringing the talent 

and dedication to NROI to 

make it the fine group that it 

now is. 

Good luck with your new tenu 

r e as RD/President, 

USPSA/NROI. 

Wah Rauch, CL-41 

• THANKS DAVE 

Just a note of thanks to you 

for all the hard work and dedication 

that you provided to the 

organization over the years. 

Without your vision and direc- 

tion, USPSA would not have become 

one of the premier shooting 

sports in the United States. 

You can take with you a feeling 

of satisfaction as the organization 

is healthy and thriving. 

I'm sure there are probably still 

many unfinished issues you 

would like to have completed 

prior to your retirement, but 

your record of accomplishments 

speak highly of what you have 

achieved during your tenure. 

Good luck to you and your adventures 

of the future.

other leaders have done an outstanding 

job of making the best 

of all shooting sports accessible 

to thousands of us. Critics 

should ponder the tremendous 

investment of volunteer vs. 

paid hours in this evolving, expanding 

sport. For example, 

matches would vanish without 

the incredible professionalism 

and dedication of our ROs. 

That said, here are my suggestions. 

Stay with IPSC. I 

wasn't there at the creation (of 

practical shooting) and only 

those who've been at USPSA 

and IPSC director's meetings 

know all the crap that must go 

on. But should U.S. basketballers 

withdraw from the Olympics 

because we invented the 

sport and have more than half 

the players, but can't dictate to 

the I.O.C.? 

We should do it our way over 

here, and play their rules when 

we go abroad — and beat them 

anyway. If they beat us, more 

power to them. We can't expect 

everyone to forever genuflect 

because we won World War II 

and the cold war and gave millions 

of people their lives back. 

While the old days of isolation, 

insularity, and global arrogance 

may be over, politics will 

always be with us. If the world 

body kicks USPSA out, fine; 

that's their loss. 

Second: the survey will give 

the directors some guidance, 

and you should continue to formally 

seek member input. However, 

anyone familiar with 

research methodology can help 

you write better questions. The 

forced-choice questions (like no. 

1) are too limiting. My preference 

would be power factors of 

145-150 minimum and 175 

maximum. Sure, it takes more 

time to tabulate open responses, 

but you should at least 

include "none of the above" as a 

response. Also, although "scale 

of 1 to 10" is part of our culture, 

f' 

ill-star performer!

it's bad for surveys because 

there is no median value. Use 1 

to 5, or 1 to 7. 

Third: Front Sight has improved 

dramatically in content 

and format; now upgrade it 

journalistically. I realize that 

most reports are contributed 

(gratis) by match officials and 

shooters, but too often the 

magazine seems written for insiders 

only. For example, 

Front Sight provides the first 

coverage most of us see on 

World Shoot X. I guess we're all 

expected to recognize every top 

shooter — so why bother to 

identify the men and women in 

the photo of the U.S. team, or 

even list the who from "about 

50" U.S. shooters comprised our 

team? And apparently the big 

news is that a World Shoot finally 

topped the U.S. Nationals 

in number of competitors. It 

isn't until the last paragraph 

that the writer bothers to inform 

those few of us who 

couldn't make the match who 

the hell won and how that unidentified 

U.S. team did. I'm 

sorry, but what readers really 

want to know is: who, where, 

when and how. 

Match reports, like all journalism, 

should first present 

those key facts. Match trivia 

and human interest come next 

as space permits. Since most 

untrained correspondents 

struggle with that, here's the 

solution: one page of editorial 

guidelines, available to anyone 

wishing t,o send in a match report. 

VVhen reports ignore your 

guidelines, that's why magazines 

have editors. 

I am a local record-holder for 

zeroing stages, but I love to 

shoot IPSC and I sincerely 

thank all those who volunteer 

so much time to my pursuit of 

happiness.

• PATIENCE IS A 

VIRTUE 

Recently it seems as if some 

members of the practical shooting 

fraternity have forgotten 

that they too once were a new 

player to this game. At a recent 

club match, one of the prominent 

club members had recruited 

a sigthficant number of 

new shooters. Being a mostly 

good guy, he squadded these 

neophytes together and, with 

another experienced shooter or 

two, he set about introducing 

them to the sport. These new 

shooters seemed to have an enjoyable 

time and no safety problems 

arose. 

One must wonder how much 

their enjoyment was tempered 

by comments regarding the 

slowness of this squad. These 

shooters know better. Since 

when do you have to be a (pick 

a class) shooter to participate in 

a monthly match? 

Folks, regardless of class, we 

all must wait at one time or another 

on shooters of lesser ability. 

At these times, please try to 

remember when you first began 

practical shooting. Remember 

the nervousness, the desire to 

finish safely regardless of how 

long it took, and the desire to 

have fun. In today's political climate 

we need all the help we 

can get. Please take care to welcome 

all new shooters and, 

more importantly, make them 

feel welcome at all times. We 

have two choices regarding the 

survival of our sport, multiply 

or perish. Ma.ke the new shooters 

feel welcome.

• BE APPRECIATIVE 

I'm not writing to say "shame 

on you" or "to bad mouth anyone," 

but just to let you know to 

be appreciative of what you 

have to enjoy. I am currently 

stationed with the U.S. Army in 

Germany. 

Yes, I haven't shot IPSC in 

almost a year. Of course, you're 

saying, "Well, there are clubs in 

Germany you could join," but 

understand there is a small 

country called Bosnia that 

awaits my arrival in the possible 

near future. My love for the 

sport still burns strong. Place 

your selfish desires of your 

pleasure principle behind you 

and use your reality principle to 

build a strong club and in turn 

you will see the fruits of your 

labor grow. Remember when 

you don't have something you 

love and cherish, you learn how 

much you appreciated it when 

you had it. Thanks Bill, Roger, 

Tom, Dan and Jim for showing 

me true dedication and devotion 

to a sport. Yes, Jirn, when 

I return I'll continue to shoot

oard of Directors meeting... 

The USPSA Board of Directors 

gathered on January 8 

and 9 in Washington, DC, 

and welcomed its new members. 

One of the most important 

decisions was to meet 

again this March and devote 

the entire meeting to developing 

long-term goals for 

USPSA. There are many important 

issues facing the 

Board, such as our non-profit 

status, range development, 

promotional programs, and national 

marketing. With defined 

goals, the Board will 

have a basis for making 

equally important decisions. 

By unanimously 

agreeing on the 

long-term planning 

meeting, the Board 

has taken a quiet, 

but significant step 

toward what I feel 

can be an incredible 

future for 

USPSA. Meaningful 

goals won't be 

easy, and there 

will be many meetings 

and long 

nights, but the 

Board has my appreciation 

for making 

this commitment. 

Limited rules... 

At the January meeting, the 

Board of Directors reviewed 

the Limited gun guidelines. 

The changes became effective 

January 24. In a nutshell, Acc- 

U-Rails are accepted as a 

slide-tightening technique, 

spherical bushings are not acceptable 

as replacements for 

standard bushings, extended

Officers appointed... 

The Board also confirmed 

the appointment of John Amidon 

as USPSA Vice President. 

He will be working on 

Nationals planning and approving 

tournaments. In addition, 

Bill Maund was 

confirmed as Assistant Vice 

President, and will be refreshing 

the NROI material and 

collecting stages for a new 

classification book to be published 

in the future. Kathy 

Quilliam is now the USPSA 

corporate secretary. She will 

be taking the Board 

minutes and keeping 

corporate records. 

All three 

people are totally 

dedicated to USPSA 

and to making the 

organization successful. 

Thanks to each 

of them for sharing 

the work load. 

Rule books... 

As an interesting 

note, the 1994 NRA 

Action Pistol Shooting 

rules include the 

USPSA Limited firearm criteria, 

verbatim. Guns meeting 

our Limited criteria are 

placed in the NRA "Stock Firearm" 

category. The NRA did 

this so that a competitor 

could buy just one pistol and 

shoot in both the USPSA Limited 

competitions and the 

NRA Stock Firearm Action 

events. 

Because we have nearly 

10,000 rule books on hand, 

the USPSA Handbook will 


not be reprinted until 1995. 

Even though there are some 

typos and changes in the current 

6th Edition, the Board of 

Directors opted to live with 

the 6th Edition until next 

year. If you need a copy of 

this edition or the IPSC 11th 

edition rules, give us a call.

year. The match is being 

planned to accomodate 300 

competitors, and registration 

is on a first-come, first-served 

basis. Randy Cestaro is planning 

a great match and those 

interested should respond to 

the advertisement or give him 

a call at (516) 665-5324. This 

goes for Range Officers looking 

for an excuse to visit 

Long Island and help with 

the match too. Don't let the 

'New York' stigma fool you. 

Long Island is a beautiful 

place with great people. 

Randy and the LIPSA folks 

will put on a super event!

AMMUNITION 

Specialized ammunition 

that is loaded to make the major 

power factor and that is 

used to gain a competitive advantage 

is not in keeping 

with the spirit of this class 

and is thereby excluded. This 

rule will be narrowly interpreted. 

Therefore, only those calibers 

that are produced by at 

least three commercial ammunition 

manufacturers; that 

are generally available at retailers 

across the country; 

and that make the major 

power factor in commercial 

form may be scored as major. 

Reloaded ammunition in approved 

calibers is permitted. 

Some of the currently recognized 

calibers meeting this 

category are .357, .40 S&W, 

lOmm, .45 ACP, .44 Spl, .44 

Magnum, .45 LC, and .45 Win 

mag. 


HOLSTERS 

Because there are as many 

opinions as there are shooters 

as to what constitutes a practical 

holster, existing standards 

and rules for unlimited 

competition shall be used. 


MAGAZINES 

For Limited category guns 

using double-stacked (or staggered) 

column magazines, acceptable 

factory standard 

magazines must be used. Factory

INSIDE NROI 

Position Specifications and 

Rule 11.11... 

Stage designers have traditionally 

used the weak-hand 

specification to simulate the 

incapacitation of the competitor's 

strong hand, a practice 

that seems to be vanishing 

from the match scene. Onehand 

shooting is a skill worthy 

of testing, and we need 

not rely on standards stages 

to provide the test. Hopefully, 

we can cleax up the confusion 

and see a return of one-hand 

shooting to well-thought-out 

field courses. 

Stage creators are instructed 

to begin the design 

process with a scenario to 

bring some real-world elements 

into the competitive 

arena. Practical shooting is 

not real-world training, but 

we do simulate the stress and 

pressure of a real-world situation 

in our sport. Since violent 

confrontations frequently 

do include injury and partial 

incapacitation, we should occasionally 

include them in our 

stages; safely and within the 

rules. Let's review rule 11.11. 

WEAK/STRONG HAND - 

Use of the weak hand within 

the course of fire shall be 

specified only as a simulation 

of incapacity of the strong 

hand. When stipulated, the 

weak hand will be employed 

exclusively for the remainder 

of that stage or string. The 

same principle applies to the 

simulation of incapacity of the 

weak hand. 

When the course of fire 

stipulates strong or weak-arm 

incapacity and the competitor: 

(i) Faults by using the incapacitated 

arm, he shall re- 

Andy Holler, Dir. NROI 

ceive a procedural error for 

each shot so fired. 

(ii) Unless otherwise specified 

in the course description, 

the competitor may use both 

hands to safely correct a malfunction 

without penalty. 

Faults by using the incapacitated 

arm, e.g., to reload, to 

disengage the safety, will receive 

one procedural penalty 

per occurrence. 

(iii) Weak hand draws from 

the holster are to be discouraged. 

A field course procedure 

may go something like this. 

"Begin in box A, standing 

naturally with hands relaxed 

at sides. On the start signal 

draw and engage only T1 - T4 

with two rounds each. Move 

to box B where the competitor's 

strong arm becomes incapacitated 

as soon as both feet 

are in box B. From box B, using 

the weak hand only, engage 

targets T5 - T7 with two 

rounds each." 

This description begs the 

question, "Doesn't this violate 

US rule 2.07 which prohibits 

dictating "firing positions like 

prone, kneeling, etc. in a 

speed shoot or field course?" 

No. The specification that the 

competitors must use one 

hand only does not prevent 

the competitor from shooting 

prone, kneeling, etc. The competitor 

is still free to solve the 

competitive problem as he 

sees best. Specifying one-arm 

incapacitation is part of the 

scenario, not a shooting position. 

Some course designers 

overdo the specification and 

require the use of the strong 

hand only, then the use of the 

weak hand only, all in the 

same string. Apparently they 

are hoping for a miracle healing. 

Sorry, only one arm at a 

time may be broken or shot 

up. If there are several 

strings in a Standards or Virginia 

count stage, one may 

specify weak-hand in one 

string and strong hand in another, 

but never in the same 

string. 

Note that 11.11 does allow 

competitors to clear malfunctions 

using both hands. However, 

once the competitor has 

crossed the line or entered 

the box where the incapacitation 

takes place, there are procedural 

penalties for using 

the "wounded" hand or arm. 

If a malfunction requires a reload, 

and the offhand is used, 

is there a penalty? The RO is 

going to have to use some

David Kleber. CRO's for this 

stage were John and Jackie 

Wensich. 

Stage 2, Kimball Run, was a 

19-round field course designed 

by Kris Kimball and sponsored 

by Para-Ordnance. Ron and 

Jane Halpenny were the CRO's 

for this stage. Some of the nine 

IPSC targets on this stage were 

behind vision barriers, so it was 

a case of "shoot-em as you seeem, 

but don't cross the fault 

lines." Doug Boykin won this 

stage followed by Milford 

Lovett, Jr. 

Stage 3, Felony Car Stop, was 

designed by Ron Coryer and 

sponsored by Caspian Arms, 

Ltd. This 25-round field course 

started shooters in a patrol car. 

At the start sigmal, they ran for 

cover behind a barricade and 

shot two plates and two fast 

snapshot targets. Then the 

shooters went to another barricade 

to engage three moving 

targets and one plate. Moving 

through a Cooper Thnnel on the 

way to a mail box, shooters engaged 

three more targets 

around a simulated van. To finish 

the stage, shooters rushed 

the van and engaged three 

more targets. Watch out, don't 

shoot the sheriff? Rob Leatham 

whipped through this stage in 

28.8 seconds. Who shot the 

sheriff, Doug? 

Stage 4, Miss-Filed, was designed 

by Bob Russell and 

sponsored by Behlert Precision. 

Tony Blaney was CRO for this 

speed shoot, where competitors 

had to engage eight IPSC targets 

and one popper from a 

shooting box behind a desk. 

There was a mandatory reload 

after engaging the popper. John 

Benton won this fast stage. 

Stage 5, Picnic Blast, was 

also a speed shoot designed by 

Bob Russell and sponsored by 

Ernie Hill Speed Leather. CRO 

Henry Bick was your picnic 

host. While relaxing with a can 

of soda, shooters had to suddenly 

engage six IPSC targets, 

two poppers and one plate. This 

stage had a mandatory reload 

between two shooting groups. 

Todd Jarrett won the 15-round 

picnic in 5.4 seconds and Rob 

Leatham was second. 

Stage 6, Joel's Assault, was a 

Comstock event sponsored by 

Safariland, Ltd. Shooters 

started seated with their hands 

behind the chair. At the signal, 

they had to knock down "Joe," 

retrieve their guns from a stand 

and engage three IPSC targets. 

At box A shooters were presented 

with a mover carrying 

three IPSC targets. Full targets 

were visible most of the way; 

however, they stopped behind 

hard cover with only the upper 

A,/B zones showing. At door B, 

shooters engaged two Pepper 

poppers and two IPSC targets

around the door. They then 

moved through the doorway 

and took cover behind a file 

cabinet to engage three targets 

through a port. At Box D shooters 

had to engage the last target 

with two rounds in the 

lower A zone and one in the upper 

A zone. Todd Jarrett won 

this stage designed and run by 

Joe Gagliardo and Linda Bacon. 

Stage 7, Rosa's Office Party, 

was sponsored by Springfield, 

Inc. Bob Arinsen created another 

great Rosa's stage; Wells 

Miller was the CRO. Shooters 

started in the executive washroom 

and engaged three IPSC 

targets through an open door. 

Spare ammunition had to be retrieved 

from the desk before going 

to the next shooting box 

which had two windows. Shooters 

engaged four IPSC targets 

through one window and three 

IPSC targets and two Pepper 

poppers from the other. Rob 

Leatham took this one in 15.8 

seconds. 

Stages 8 and 9 were designed 

by Cortland Pistol Club and 

run by Pete Goloski and his 

daughter, Julie. Stage 8, Warp 

Factor 6, sponsored by Smith 

& Wesson, was won by Doug 

Boykin in a warping 7.36 seconds.

There are many people to 

thank for a match like this. 

First, thank you, Match Director 

John Amidon; Range Master 

Cooper Buckalew; and 

Assistant Range Master Bob

of course all the generous sponsors 

were the ones who made 

this match so successful. 

The Miller rifle match was a 

48-round field course sponsored 

by Practical Pistol Services and 

designed by Dan Sierpina. Mike 

Lape was the CRO. Shooters

EASY SCORE TIPS AND TRICKS 

The Easy Score program has been received 

quite favorably by our clubs, but there are a 

few questions that we are continually being 

asked. The most-asked question has been 

"How do I modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT and 

CONFIG.SYS files and what are they?" 

The AUTOEXEC.BAT is your computer's 

morning cup of coffee. CONFIG.SYS is the teaspoon 

of sugar. If these files aren't set up properly, 

your computer is going to be grumpy and 

won't do what you want it to do. Knowing what 

the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files are 

and how to modify them is a basic knowledge 

that anyone who owns, or uses, a computer 

should have. I urge you to dig up (or buy) a good 

book on DOS and read the sections pertaining to 

these files. Without this knowledge you're trying 

to drive a car from the trunk. 

Fortunately, these files aren't difficult to modify, 

but caution needs to be used when working 

with them. Newer computers have DOS version 

5 or Windows on them and these operating systems 

provide you with the editing tools you need. 

Sorry, but dinosaur owners will have to try a

different route. DO NOT USE YOUR FAVORITE 

WORD PROCESSING PROGRAM TO WORK 

ON THESE FILES! (There is an 'unless' to that, 

but I'd rather not go into it here.) 

DOS 5 comes with a text editor called, appropriately 

enough, EDIT. To modify these files you 

need to be in the root directory (C: \ ). Type EDIT 

AUTOEXEC.BAT and press the enter key. One 

of the lines will begin with PATH. Go to the end 

of that line and add ;C: \ SCORE. (Add the semicolon, 

don't add the period.) Press the enter key 

to add a new line and type SET 

SCORE.C: \ SCORE (There is only one space in 

this line between SET and SCORE.) Save and 

exit this file by pressing the Alt and F keys, then 

the X key. You will be asked if you want to save 

the file, so answer yes. 

Next check your CONFIG.SYS file to see if 

FILES=20 and BUFFERS=15 (or higher) by typing 

TYPE CONFIG.SYS. If numbers are lower, 

fire up EDIT and fix them. Now you need to 

restart your computer to let it know you've 

changed its mind, and you're ready to run Easy 

Score. 

For Windows users, Notepad is the editing tool 

to use. Consult your Windows book about how to 

open and save files if necessary. 

The second most-asked question is "I'm 

trying to set up a new match, but I'm still 

seeing the info from the last match. How do I 

get rid of the old information?" 

Well, you don't. The program is designed to 

save the information for each match in a subdirectory 

of its own. Setting up a new match, therefore, 

requires creating a new subdirectory and 

starting Easy Score there. To get rid of old match 

information, you need to delete all the files in the 

directory using the DOS DELETE command. 

(See your DOS manual about how to use this 

command.) 

The procedure that I recommended in the 

booklet is to create a MATCHES directory and 

then monthly subdirectories for each match. No 

files should be in the MATCHES directory itself 

other than the subdirectories. 

There are a couple of methods for creating new 

directories and changing to them. One uses DOS, 

the other uses Easy Score. I'll describe the Easy 

Score method. This assumes that you have 

started Easy Score while in the MATCHES directory. 

To begin'a new match, go to the 'Other' 

menu and select Create New Directory. Using 

the example above, we'll create the FEB directory, 

so we type FEB and press the enter key. 

Now we need to tell the computer we want to go 

to that directory, so select the Change Directory 

option from the Other menu. IMPORTANT: 

Type a backslash 1 first. It won't work otherwise. 

Then type MATCHES1FEB and press the enter 

key. The computer will do some thinking and you 

will be in the new directory for your February

match. Repeat this entire procedure next month 

for the March match. 

For those who have DOS 6, I have some good 

news. Since the Easy Score booklet was 

written last fall, I've learned more about the 

MEMMAKER utility. 

When MEMMAKER is run with the Express 

setup, which appears to be the usual method 

when DOS 6 is installed, the default settings 

grab memory that needs to be reserved for Easy 

Score. The default settings can be changed by 

running MEMMAKER again with the Custom 

setup. 

Before diving into MEMMAKER though, you 

need modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if it 

starts Windows or some type of shell program 

(like DOSSHELL). If it does, add REM at the 

beginning of the startup line. eg REM C:1WIN- 

DOWS1WIN. This is because MEMMAKER will 

scratch its brain for a while and restart your 

computer so you can see if it's working properly. 

If Windows starts up, it will be in the way. Save 

your changes and restart your computer. This 

will ensure that any memory-resident programs 

that you normally run will be noted by MEM- 

MAKE R. 

From the C:1 prompt type MEMMAKER and 

select Custom setup. You will be asked whether 

you have any programs that use expanded memory. 

You do — Easy Score — so answer yes. The 

next screen is titled Advanced Options. The second 

line that asks you if you want to scan the 

upper memory area aggressively is the one that 

causes most of the problems. Change this setting 

to no and leave the rest of the lines as they are. 

Press the enter key and MEMMAKER will do its 

thing. You will be asked to press a few keys now 

and again, but the on-screen instructions will 

step you through the process. Once MEM- 

MAKER has done its job you should verify that 

Easy Score works before doing anything else. For 

those who have set up an icon in Windows, ensure 

that the program will run from the DOS 

command line as well as by double-clicking on 

the icon. It should, but if it doesn't there is an 

emergency parachute available. 

To restore your original settings you need to 

run MEMMAKER again, only this time type 

MEMMAKER /UNDO. Press enter to restore 

your computer's original configuration. I have

tried this on my computer with no problems, and 

I would like to hear about your success (or failure) 

if you work with this utility. 

I don't have anything to report about DoubleSpace, 

the hard drive compression utility that 

comes with DOS 6. A few people have tried it and 

had nothing but trouble. I'm not ready to trash 

my computer yet, but eventually I'll get brave 

and see what I can learn about it. Of course if 

anybody has gotten our program to work with 

DoubleSpace, I'd like to know so I can pass it on 

to others. 

We have also had some questions about bubble-jet 

printers. Charlie Funk is working on updating 

the printers database, but at this time is 

not sure if he has all the right codes. For now all 

I can suggest is to select a different emulation on 

the printer if possible. Check your printer's documentation 

to see if it has IBM emulation built in. 

We will let you know when we have an update 

available. 

I have also noticed that some clubs that 

received the beta test version of the program 

are having problems with membership 

numbers. 

The final version (4.00) that was mailed in December 

did not allow the user to add hyphens or 

unauthorized characters. Some clubs had entered 

member numbers with hyphens in previous 

versions and now are not getting the full USPSA 

number printed on summary reports. To fix this, 

use the 'Maintain Master List' option of the 

'Other' menu to edit the records of shooters with 

incorrectly formatted numbers. All it should take 

is to type the correct number over the existing 

number. If for some reason this doesn't work, 

delete those records from the master list and reenter 

them correctly the next time they shoot. 

When the time comes that USPSA is able to accept 

scores on floppy disk, correctly formatted 

numbers will be mandatory for the program to 

work properly. 

Simply having the correct USPSA number for 

a member is important as well. Quite often we 

get scores in for people with invalid or wrong 

numbers and it takes extra time to search for the 

correct number. This task is made more difficult, 

and sometimes impossible, if a nickname is used. 

You may know who "Chops" really is, but we 

don't. If we can't identify someone, we can't enter 

the score. So, stats people — check those membership 

cards, and shooters — check the match 

reports to see that your correct name and number 

is being used.

what to write about. If there 

were only five important things 

in an IPSC pistol, the first 

three would all be reliability. 

Then would come accuracy and 

controllability. You can have a

ldck your butt. Too many times 

gun problems make matches a 

test of gun and ammo instead 

of true shooter ability. Let's 

identify the problems so you 

can fix them and get on with 

the fun. 

There are a few tricks that 

will help you determine if you 

have a problem or are about to 

have one. The first one is pretty 

easy. When you're at the range, 

delay the slide slightly when 

charging the gun and notice 

whether the round hangs up 

while chambering. If it does, it 

indicates a problem. The bullet 

transfer from the magazine to 

the chamber should be smooth, 

and the round should chamber 

with only slight resistance. If it 

glitches or stalls on the feedramp, 

something is wrong and 

needs to be checked out by a 

competent gunsmith. 

The next thing to check is 

barrel fit. Fitting the barrel is

the most important aspect in 

building a g-un. It can be difficult 

to do, but is easily checked. 

First, make sure the gun is unloaded. 

Dry cycle the gun, then 

push down on the barrel hood. 

The barrel should be tight and 

not drop down. Next, check the 

barrel for a tight fit at the front 

of the slide. The muzzle should 

not wander around in the front 

of the slide, as this will greatly 

affect accuracy. 

Proper barrel fit also affects 

reliability. If the barrel doesn't 

cam down properly, it creates 

several problems. First, it creates 

a greater angle for the 

round when chambering which 

prevents a smooth transfer 

from the magazine to the chamber. 

Second, the ejector will hit 

the brass too low. This is a big 

problem on scoped guns because 

the brass is ejected up 

into the scope and can bounce 

back into the ejection port. 

Last, it can cause premature 

rounding of the barrel and slide 

locking lugs which leads to a 

shorter gun life. 

A loose barrel fit can also 

cause the barrel feet to break. 

To check this, double check that 

the gun is clear. While pushing 

on the front of the barrel or 

comp, push back until the barrel 

unlocks and stops. Hold 

pressure and push down on the 

barrel hood. If it drops down, 

something is wrong with the fit. 

It could be as simple as the 

wrong barrel link or as bad as 

improper machining of the 

frame for the barrel ramp. This 

should also be checked out by a 

competent gunsmith. 

Magazines for the high capacity 

guns have come a long 

way; however, they can still be 

a problem. First and foremost, 

number all of your magazines. 

NOW! This is not just a good 

idea. This is mandatory. If you 

don't know which mag just bit 

you, you can't fix it or throw it 

over the berm. If the only malfunction 

you had was after your 

second reload on a field course, 

that mag should stay in your 

bag until you check it out. 

These are a few simple 

checks that should enable you 

to notice problems with your 

gun before you trash a match 

and spend the rest of the year

Bags, bags, and more bags — 

shooting bags, range bags, and 

miscellaneous bags. We certainly 

have more than enough 

bags in various shapes and 

sizes to satisfy our every need, 

don't we? Until I saw and 

eventually tried a shooting/range 

bag recently introduced 

by Green Mountain, I 

agreed with that premise. 

Green Mountain of Underhill, 

VT, has a shooting/range 

bag which is sized 

just right for me. I have big 

bags that I overload so much I 

can hardly carry them. I have 

bags that are too small and 

won't hold all of my "necessities;" 

I can get the bare essentials 

in most of them, but not 

my holster and belt along with 

all my other gear. However, the 

Green Mountain bag, approxi- 

_ 

GREEN MOUNTAIN BAGS 

mately 24" long by 11" wide by 

9" high, proved to be just right. 

The bag is well made and 

padded in all the right places. 

It has 6" by 8" by 3" zipper 

pouches on each end which are 

sufficient to hold a timer or 

miscellaneous spare parts and 

a small cleaning kit. There is a 

zipper pouch on the back, running 

the length of the bag, 

which is perfect for papers and 

other non-bulky items. There is 

also a padded pouch on the 

front that easily accepts a pistol, 

even in one of the USPSA 

gun rugs, but is primarily designed 

to carry magazines. The 

magazines are supported by an 

elastic strap in a vertical position 

so they are easily accessible. 

The bag's main compartment 

has two additional pouches, one 

on each side of an inner bag, 

which are closed with velcro 

flaps. This is where I generally 

carry my STI full-race pistol. It 

is well-protected by the padding 

and is easy to get in and out. 

The main section of the bag 

will hold a 4" x 4" or larger box

of ammunition (about 200 

rounds). It is separated from 

other gear by a movable padded 

velcro partition. On the other 

side of the movable partition I 

can roll up and store my belt 

with mag pouches and holster. 

I find this a great advantage 

when I am at the range all day 

and break for lunch, or am 

RO'ing. When it comes time to 

compete again, everything I 

need is all in one place. 

Until I took this bag with me 

to England I had preferred to 

have the top of a bag close like 

a clam shell with a full length 

zipper. The Green Mountain 

bag has a padded flat top with 

a zipper around three sides. 

This has several advantages. 

The whole interior of the bag is 

accessible when it is opened up, 

and the top can be dropped 

back down to protect the contents 

from rain and bad 

weather. This design proved to 

be a real asset in rainy old England 

during World Shoot X. 

There is another attraction to 

this top that deserves special 

mention. The top can hold all 

sorts of miscellaneous gear and 

accessories in its elastic loops. 

Green Mountain sewed two 

strips of elastic parallel with 

the top of the bag and separated 

them into va.rious sizes to 

accommodate anything from a 

USPSA sports safe to a pen. 

This arrangement keeps many 

small items readily at hand but 

out of the way until needed. 

The bag is made of heavy 

denier Cordura or similar material 

and is well-made with 

finished seams and corners. 

Prices vary with the options ordered 

but are reasonable for a 

bag of this quality. I have seen 

many of our top shooters 

switching to this bag, and it 

makes a great gift for someone 

special. 

Several options are available. 

The bag comes in different colors 

with a variety of contrasting 

colors for the piping and seam 

bindings. You can even have 

your name monogrammed with 

the same stitching color as the 

bag.

WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUTCHA' 

In the past year USPSA has 

promoted practical shooting 

and USPSA membership at 

several shooting sports 

conventions and trade shows. 

One of the recent USPSA display 

booths was at the American 

Society of Law 

Enforcement Trainers (ASLET) 

in Arlington, VA, and another 

was at the Shot Show in Dallas, 

TX. During these shows USPSA 

staff was helped at the booth by 

many volunteers from local 

USPSA-affiliated clubs. Without 

their help we would never 

have been able to reach so 

many people to give them helpful 

information and influence 

them to become USPSA members. 

At the ASLET conference 

from January 4-6, Ed 

Marshman, Paul Kaczmarek, 

and Jeff Hoge generously took 

time off from work to help at 

the booth. What a dedicated 

crew! 

The Shot Show in Dallas ran 

from January 13-16. USPSA 

shooters from several Dallasarea 

clubs and the Graham 

Practical Pistol Club were an 

invaluable help to the staff 

manning the booth. This enthusiastic 

group consisted of Tom 

and Penny Wright, Rags Connaway, 

Hugh Bedingfield, Boon 

Peek, Dennis Frazier, Robert 

Wardrup, Larry Sample, Jerry 

Kee, John Warrick, Ves McDonald. 

Larry Lord and Martha 

Clarke even came from Florida. 

Rumor has it that they enjoyed 

being there as much as the staff 

appreciated having them. 

These volunteers were so 

friendly and presented practical 

shooting in such a favorable 

light that many people decided 

to become USPSA members 

right then and there. 

The NRA convention May 19- 

22 in Minneapolis, MN, is the 

next stop for the USPSA display. 

Any USPSA member who 

would like to volunteer a few 

hours of time to tell folks about 

USPSA please give Kathy Quilliam 

a call at the National office

Elmer Keith once said "If 

you're not having fun, you're 

doing something wrong." (I 

heard him say it.) In the hightech 

(or not, if you shoot Limited) 

kazillion dollar world of 

IPSC, it's not uncommon to lose 

sight (pun intended) of the fact 

that we're out there for recreation. 

Whether it's "all that

the ambiance of a given club 

SHOOTING PRACTICALLY 

where you're shooting, the 

added stress of the above situations 

can turn your usually 

mild-mannered self into something 

others see as quite unpleasant. 

The situation 

snowballs to a point of reduced 

self-esteem and reduced esteem 

from others. 

What to do? Chill out! Back 

away and see just what it is 

that is affecting your game. Try 

shooting less (yes, there are 

other recreational activities,) or 

shooting slower. We all hate to 

see shooters leave the sport 

from burn-out, but it's marvelous 

to see them come back from 

a brief retirement and feeling 

better about themselves. 

Whether it's something 

you're taking too seriously or 

even a temporary plateau (I've 

been a C shooter for three 

years), take a moment to see if 

you're still having fun. 

WHERE CAN I GET good 

cheap cleaning/polishing 

media? 

Try a local ranch supply. At 

last check, 50 pound bags of 

ground walnut shell went for 

about $25 and 40 pound bags of 

ground corn cob was $9 or so. 

Just add a bottle of the cheapest 

liquid auto polish you can 

find and you've got great 

treated (or not) polishing media 

for substantially less than the 

usual $1 per pound. If you don't 

need 50 pounds, get a friend or 

two to share the cost. 'It

smaller calibers. And that's 

where my targets comes in. 

They're constructed of 

hi,gh-quality steel that's entirely MIG welded 

(critical areas are even triple pass welded). 

They meet or exceed safety standards 

set by the U.S. Department of Energy And 

they're all backed by my two-year guarantee. 

While most steel targets can't stand 

up to high-powered rifles, mine hold up after 

thousands of rounds. And you don't need a 

box of tools to put them together either. 

All my portable reactive targets assemble 

in minutes without even a screwdriver. 

You'll find the same simplicity in my 

indoor and outdoor ranges, too. No

computers or complicated mechanisms 

that need constant service. Just simple 

designs built to last (Just ask NASA Security

they're fully guaranteed.

find anything you can punish quite like a

BUSHWACKER 3-GUN CHAMPIONSHIP 

The second annual Bushwhacker 

3-Gun match, hosted 

by the Joplin Rifle and Pistol 

Club this past August, was a 

hot match in more ways than 

one. With temperatures hovering 

near the 3-digit mark, the 

stamina of the thirty-six entrants 

— including our first 

lady 3-gunner and three South 

Africans en route to the U.S. 

Nationals — was definitely 

tested, along with their skills. 

Saturday's six stages included 

Border Crossing, a 

pistol Comstock field course of 

26 rounds. From a wall the 

shooter first engaged three targets 

from behind a counter, 

three more targets from a doorway, 

and the last three targets, 

which were in or behind a car. 

Mike Voigt set the pace with a 

win on this one. 

Rewind was a 24-round Virginia 

count pistol stage with six 

targets. The shooter engaged 

six targets, one round each freestyle, 

reloaded and re-engaged 

the targets in reverse order 

strong-hand only. String two 

required weak-hand only after 

the reload. Mike Voigt again 

took the honors. 

Bird II was a 14-round shotgun 

course with the shooter positioned 

in a blind, while pairs, 

thrown from behind the blind, 

passed overhead. The last half

of this string had targets appear 

at the upper right corner 

and head to the lower left. 

James Severin won this stage. 

Bushwhacker was also a 

shotgun field course requiring 

14 rounds involving plates and 

poppers. The shooters started 

in a bunker by engaging four 

plates; then they engaged six 

poppers while moving along a 

charge line to the last bunker to 

engage the last four plates. 

In Dry Seat, a limited Comstock 

rifle stage, the shooter engaged 

five hard-cover targets at 

fifty yards while seated, then 

one hard-cover target at seventy-five 

yards. Advancing ten 

yards from there to a box, the 

shooter then re-engaged all targets 

free-style. Mike Voigt won 

this stage. 

Davidian Demise was our 

"bring lawyers, guns and 

money," stage. Starting with 

the rifle, competitors engaged 

three targets at 100 yards, then 

ran to a port at 75 yards and 

re-engaged the targets. Next, 

the shooter used a shotgun on 

ten steel targets which were engaged 

through various windows. 

The final segment was a 

pistol challenge involving ten 

plates of varying sizes and at 

various yardages. Tim Crosno 

lead the field on this one. 

Sunday was a little cooler 

and breezy, which meant it was 

time for Clarence's "rifle thing."

Here, the shooter engaged six 

targets off-hand, three at 100

FRANK GARCIA TAKES FLORIDA SECTIONALS 

by K. Bond Pace, A-6962 

Florida has always been a 

center for competitive shooters, 

with places to shoot every week. 

Bruce Kamp gets started on stage 7. 

The Naples Swamp Rompers 

club is probably one of the best 

with an excellent range, and 

that's where 214 competitors 

gathered November 19th 

through the 21st for the 1993 

Florida Sectional. 

Match Director Wayne Bergquist 

and his crew of CROs 

and ROs put on a fantastic 

match with seven challenging 

courses of fire. The weather 

was a clean, crisp 75 to 85 degrees 

instead of the usual sweltering 

90+ degrees. Everything 

seemed to run perfectly. With 

all the people competing for 

prizes, money and goodies it 

was a treat to see that there 

were NO ARBITR.ATIONS. 

Vendors kept their tables 

full, and many times you could 

not get near them; however, 

with the great job of squadding, 

every individual had a chance 

to see some fancy guns and new 

products. 

Everyone seemed to think 

that the stages of fire were designed 

for speed, and although 

one or two were, the rest were 

not as easy as they looked. The 

IS 

TIME 

ON 

YOUR 

SIDE? 

You can shoot your fair share of A-zone hits, but a fraction of a 

second can cost you the stage and the match. 

"IPSC shooting is not about going faster, it's about saving time," 

says Grand Master Class Competitor Ron Avery. 

Let me teach you the sub-one second draw, optimum use of 

sights, optics and the visual field, strong/weak hand control and 

how to accelerate your multiple target acquisition. I'll show you 

how to slice seconds off your reloading time, going prone and 

kneeling, moving from box to box, and shooting from behind 

barricades. 

Cut your stage and match times with my proven stage analysis, 

match strategy and mental training techniques. 

So stop wasting time! Call me today for information on group, 

semi-private and private IPSC courses. It'll be time well spent.

stages were well-balanced for 

scoring, thanks to the Florida 

Sectional Design Team. There 

was also a side shotgun match 

and plate machine, which paid 

cash back to each class. 

The match winner, Frank 

Garcia, showed everyone why 

he and Judy now have their 

own shooting academy. He 

edged out Rick Bowerman by 

five match points. That's one 

"A" hit — or in this case, one 

boggled reload. 

Besides Frank as overall winner, 

Rick won the Man on Man 

and Kim Stroud took First 

Lady. Because the prize tables 

was abundantly stocked, almost 

every competitor got 

something to take home. 

This year, as has been traditional, 

Taurus was the Match 

Sponsor. The other Stage Sponsors 

were: Ernie Hill Speed 

Leather, Safariland Ltd., Tasco, 

Glock, Para-Ordnance, Glades 

Gun Works, Caspian, ADCO International, 

Les Baer Custom, 

Nu-Line Guns, Inc., Nowlin, 

Storm Lake Machine, and 

Rosie's Bullets. There were 

Ron Lombardi shoots through the port on 

stage 3. 

many super contributors, the 

backbone of our sport, so please 

look first to these special companies 

N.vhen you buy shooting 

products. 

Right before the prizes were 

handed out, the staff of CROs 

and ROs sold the stage signs; 

they even auctioned off the 

pants and shirts from Stage 3. 

All the money raised went to a 

good cause. 

The exciting news of the elections 

of Florida's John Hurst to 

the Area 6 Directorship and 

Bill Coogan to the post of Section 

Coordinator, the food, the 

people, the vendors and competitors 

made this a match to 

remember. 

Next year the match will be 

held at the Orlando Club, so 

look for it. It will be great fun!

VANDENBERG AR MUZZLEBRAI4CE 

The Vandenberg Custom AR 

Muzzlebrake is something for 

rifle aficionados to check out. I 

tried one recently and found it 

did outperformed the muzzlebrake 

previously installed on 

my AR-15. 

The brake I had been using 

vented gas through several 

ports vertically, and could be 

slightly offset to compensate for 

right or left handed shooters to 

effectively control the direction 

of muzzle lift. The Vandenberg 

brake is about 3'' long with four 

ports that vent gas to each side: 

This is an advantage during 

fast shooting because gases do 

not obscure the target. 

I conducted several tests with 

the new brake installed. One 

test I use in evaluating muzzlebrakes 

is to have a central aim- 

ing point on a target. I then put 

a paster 5 inches above and 5 

inches below the aiming point. 

I rarely have to use more aiming 

points, but with a heavy re- 

coiling rifle (such as a .338 Win 

mag or heavier) I may do so. 

Shooting for this test is done at 

50 yards. This enables me to 

see precisely just how far the

hardball ammunition, the 

crosshairs moved vertically 

about four inches and about 

two inches to the right. The 

crosshairs never left the upper 

half of the A zone on a standard 

USPSA/IPSC target. When 

shooting from a rest the cross 

hairs barely left the point of 

aim. 

I had no difficulty installing 

the Muzzlebrake and used two 

wrenches, a 5/8'' on the jamnut 

and a 3/4" open end wrench on 

the brake itself. The brake is 

installed by simply screwing on 

a flattened jamnut and then the 

muzzlebrake itself. Screw both 

down fairly firmly, then position 

the muzzlebrake so that 

the gas vents are pointed to the 

sides of the firearm rather than 

vertically. This arrangement 

not only keeps the muzzle gases 

from obscuring the target, but 

prevents dust from being blown 

upward from the ground during 

prone shooting. 

The Vandenberg brake retails 

at $74.95 + 3.00 shipping 

and can be installed by anyone. 

A custom installation is available 

in which the brake is 

timed to line the horizontal and 

tight against the barrel shoulder 

on an individual rifle. This 

eliminates the small gap between 

the barrel and the jam 

nut (necessary with the home 

installation). The custom installation 

is $99.95 plus $3.00 

shipping. The shop only needs 

the upper assembly of your rifle

EAA KICKS OFF "FIGHT FOR FREEDOM" 

European American Armory 

has announced a special joint 

promotion aimed at helping the 

National Rifle Association increase 

its membership base and 

provide gun owners with valuable 

legislative information 

from the American Shooting 

Sports Council. 

EAA has named its promotion 

"Fight for Freedom." During 

the promotion, EAA will 

include either an NRA Freedom 

Associate application or an 

NRA Liberty or Regular Membership 

gift certificate absolutely 

free with every firearm 

sold. Current members who receive 

one of the certificates are 

encouraged to use it to enroll a 

friend or family member who 

doesn't currently belong to the 

NRA. 

EAA has also arranged for 

buyers to receive a special subscription 

to the ASSC's legisla- 

tive newsletter. The American 

Shooting Sports Council has 

done yeoman's duty representing 

the legislative interests 

of the shooting sports industry 

in Washington, D.C., and has 

helped win several very important 

battles which, in the end, 

benefitted both the firearms industry 

and private citizens. The 

ASSC's newsletter — a virtual 

bible for industry insiders — is 

considered one of the most 

authoritative sources of information 

on pending firearms 

legislation. Since the ASSC is 

an industry trade association 

its comprehensive information 

network has never before been 

available to average firearm 

owners. 

"Where legislation is concerned, 

there's strength in both 

knowledge and numbers," an 

EAA spokesman said. "The 

NRA is the largest pro-gun or- 

ganization in the world, and 

both the ASSC and the NRA do 

a superior job of providing current, 

accurate information on 

firearms legislation. We think 

that the future ability of American 

gun owners to retain their 

Second Amendment rights is 

very closely tied to the continuing 

efforts of the NRA and the 

ASSC."

The Feinstein Amendment 

to S.1607 — which passed in 

the Senate and now moves to 

a joint House/Senate 

subcommittee for 

reconciliation with the crime 

package passed by the House 

of Representatives — is more 

than a modest proposal 

affecting only 19 firearms. 

According to a list compiled 

by Peter G. Kokalis and published 

in Gun Week, a total of 

184 firearms could be affected. 

This is due to the clause banning 

any "semi-automatic rifle 

that has an ability to accept a 

detachable magazine and has 

at least two of the following features:" 

a folding stock, a pistol 

grip, a bayonet stud, a flash 

hider or a barrel having a 

threaded muzzle. 

Also included are semi-automatic 

pistols having at least 

two of the following: a magazine 

that attaches to the pistol 

outside of the pistol grip, a 

threaded muzzle, a barrel 

jacket, a weight of more than 50 

ounces when the pistol is unloaded 

or a semi-automatic version 

of an automatic firearm. 

All shotguns would be 

banned that possess at least 

two of the following: a folding 

stock, pistol grip, fixed magazine 

capacity in excess of five 

rounds or an ability to accept 

detachable magazines. 

Many more firearms could be 

affected because definitions of 

"assault weapons" are open to 

BATF interpretation. 

Furthermore, the ban on 

large capacity ammunitionfeeding 

devices defined as "a 

magazine, belt, drum, feed 

strip, or similar device that has 

a capacity of, or that can be 

FEINSTEIN AMENDMENT COULD 

BAN 184 FIREARMS 

readily restored or converted to 

accept, more than 10 rounds of 

ammunition" will make it impossible 

to obtain any more 

original capacity magazines for 

EAA, Taurus, Strayer-Tripp, 

Beretta, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, 

Browning and SigArms 

pistols. 

Anyone interested in receiving 

a copy of Mr. Kokalis' list of 

banned firearms can contact 

the USPSA office. 

We'll show you another way 

to make the earth move...

"Politically Correct," is a 

term that I am really beginning 

to find annoying. 

Being a patriotic, sincere believer 

in the Constitution, I resent 

being told by the media 

that the majority of the people 

in the United States are in favor 

of gun control. 

Every single day the media 

keeps pounding away with misinformation 

until I finally have 

realized that the stakes are too 

high and our gun rights are in 

peril. I have procrastinated 

with the excuses, "I am too busy 

and don't have the time," "I 

don't have their addresses," "I 

know I should write, but ... etc., 

etc." 

A friend who worked for the 

Pentagon gave me some tips in 

writing. He informed me that 

Our Patented Waller Soft Safe. originally designed to meet law 

enforcement nerds worldwide, features an integral, child resistant. 

keyed safety locking system and a 2-ply, aluminized, 

heat/fire shield. The smooth non-gun appearance of the exterior 

is achieved by placing all accessory compartments within the Soft 

Safe . Discrete and convenient, there are individual padded 

compartments to protect magazines, choke tubes, an extra barrel 

or cleaning rod, ammo and other 2CCCSSOries. Additionally, two, 

large zippered net compartments arc provided for miscellaneous 

storage. Utility is enhanced by the supponing wrap-around carry 

handle system 2nd the detachable 

shoulder strap permitting both 

vertical and ZOOM 

chest/back carry.

TOO BUSY..BUT, NOT TOO LATE 

the letters do not have to be 

typed. Hand-written letters 

often indicate the sincerity and 

concern of the individual. Since 

the letters are first read by 

staff, always keep them short, 

no more than one page. I 

started out by saying I was a 

female partner in a small business 

(ladies have an impact.) 

Also mention that you are a 

member of NRA or USPSA, and 

emphasize there are thousands 

who support the shooting 

sports. Let them know we are 

aware of how they vote during 

this election year. Incidentally, 

I'm told that they check to see 

if whoever wrote the letter is 

registered; and then they see if 

y_gai voted. This is a good reminder 

that all gun owners 

should be registered to vote! 

The time has come for a 

showdown. We may not be able

matches or our club matches, as 

we now know them. After doing 

some reading, I am ping to 

take advantage of some offers 

to help send the message. There 

are NRA Member Checks available. 

At first I saw they cost a 

little more, but each check you 

write contributes financial support 

to the NRA, a small price 

to help send the message. (NRA 

Member Checks, PO Box 9867, 

Baltimore, MD 21284-9867.) 

NRA also offers a no-annual-fee 

VISA credit card so you can 

help support NRA programs 

with a portion of the proceeds 

from your purchases. (Credit 

Card Plan, PO Box 637, Bridgeport, 

CT 06601-0637.) 

Additionally our local club, 

the San Juan Shooting Range, 

will provide an NRA Membership 

to the winner of the 

monthly club matches throughout 

the year. If the winner is 

already a member, it is passed 

down to the next competitor. 

Our goal is to have all members 

who compete belong to NRA. 

My anniversary present and 

birthday present to my husband, 

Paul, will be a donation 

to the Second Amendment 

Foundation or ILA in his name. 

I have heard some people 

voice a discontent regarding the 

direction of NRA, No organization 

is perfect, from the local 

club level to the National level 

and including the International 

level of our own IPSC. We need 

to pull together so we can fight 

this assault of our precious 

right to keep and bear arms. 

Call and write your representatives 

— don't be too busy 

— or it may be too late!

count. r 

Premium Gunieather SPEED HOLSTER! 

As we traveled the competition circuit this past year, the two 

things that you wanted most were to be able to adjust the height and 

the angle of the Hellweg Tactical Speed holster. Realizing that 

everyone's body is unique we designed a new holster that would adjust 

to your individual ergonomics. 

One master class shooter we know was injured in a mountain 

climbing accident. He still draws with his right hand but he no longer has 

the same amount of flexibility. A high ride holster just will not work for 

him. He prefers a holster with a straight drop, that sits lower on his belt 

than our standard "Tactical Speed Holster." We also talked to shooters 

who were getting a bit long in the tooth and wide in the belly. They wanted a 

holster that would sit out frorn the body enough so that they didn't grab a hunk of 

shirt as they drew their gun, 

So, I grabbed a ride on a jumbo jet and made the 20-hour trip Down Under. Albert and I came up with a patent pending 

design for a competition holster that sits on a steel lined belt loop. The belt loop is slotted and allows you to raise or lower the 

holster body to the height that is right for you. The other design innovation was a friction washer that allows you to adjust the 

angle of the holster body. You can now have one holster that can be worn strong side behind the hip, on the hip or in front of 

the hip, Or if you are a cop working stakeouts or anti-carjacking details, the holster can be adjusted to be worn crossdraw. 

In other words, "Mate, here's a holster thaf you fit to yourself, for your natural drawing style." It will be available through 

the entire model line and in any color you want as long as it is black.

PROVIDE A SAFE 

SHOOTING 

ENVIRONMENT... 

Before rushing off to invite 

the public to your first match, 

take the time to sort the bugs 

out of your operations. Your 

section coordinator should be 

providing technical 

assistance In getting started 

and holding the first few 

matches. 

CONDUCT A RANGE 

SAFETY SURVEY... 

Make sure that you have a 

safe shooting environment to 

We'll warn you now that 

practical shooters arg intolerant 

of sloppy and careless gun 

handling. They expect to shoot 

a match under safe conditions. 

This means a safe range, shooters 

with a certain level of safety 

consciousness and skill, and 

alert, qualified range officers 

who will immediately deal with 

safety violations. No one feels 

comfortable if they have to 

shoot in full body armor. 

If you are the newest club in 

the section, you're at the bottom 

of a learning curve. Be alert 

and responsive to the input of 

experienced shooters attending 

your matches. Developing good 

match production values builds 

Practical shooting is self-policing. 

The shootership doesn't 

tolerate those with lax attitudes 

towards SAFETY. 

"Loose" shooters find a steady 

social pressure exerted to 

"shape up or ship out." "Loose" 

clubs find that attendance at 

their matches begins to fall off. 

It can be very damaging if a 

club gets the reputation of having 

a cadre of lax or poorly 

trained range officers. (A word 

to the wise should be sufficient.)

your matches need a certain 

skill level for safety. These 

skills are not natural; they do 

riot magically arise from the 

mere handling of a firearm 

(though some think so). 

THEY ARE ACQUIRED 

BY TRAINING AND PRAC- 

TICE That's why one of the 

first missions for a new club's 

chief instructor is EDUCA- 

TION. Call it shooter development. 

It's the process of turning the 

"guy with a gun" into a skilled 

shooter with gun control — a 

person who can hit all the targets 

in the A zone, miss all the 

no-shoots, and do so "faster 

than a speeding locomotive" but 

with the precision of a mi- 

e COMPETITIVE edge.

crometer. (Contemplating our 

last match, in which we did 

none of this, we'd settle for a 

10% improvement in each category.) 

Note that in Canada, where 

the IPSC program is government-supported 

and well-developed, 

a shooter must graduate 

from a two day "Black Badge" 

course before he is considered a 

qualified practical shooter. 

Practical shooting clubs serve 

their community as an educational 

resource by training gun 

owners in practical gun handling 

skills. In doing so, they 

also build their own shootership, 

membership, and income. 

If your club wants qualified 

shooters at matches, then plan 

on developing them (and your 

program at the same time).

WAYS TO USE 

THE PRACTICAL 

SHOOTING 

SAFETY CHECK 

He's new, and he wants to 

shoot in your match. What do 

you do? 

THE SAFETY CHECK... 

It's a key safety tool. It gives 

you an organized method of inspecting 

the gun, gear and handling 

skills of a new shooter 

before he gets on the line. With 

this information you can decide 

on the shooter's status: 

Observer, 

Coach-thru, 

Unclassified 

Any range officer can use it to 

check out new shooters at any 

time. Your section can decide 

how to use it. In our section we 

do not give checks at matches 

because we just don't have the 

time. We do it at practices and 

run one-day basic practical 

shooting courses every few 

months. We designate all new 

shooters as coach-throughs for 

their first three matches, then 

give them a section class based 

on the average of their three 

matches. 

Wallet-sized safety check 

cards can be obtained by contacting 

USPSA. Use the safety 

check to enhance your reputation 

as a safety-conscious club, 

and as tool to build a growing 

circle of qualified shooters. It 

can be packaged in a number of 

ways. One way is to establish 

set days when the checks are 

given and the fee, then advertise 

the fact. EXAMPLE:

WINNING STARTS WITH WILSON COMBATTm 

Barnhart Beats Hi-Capacity Competitors 

With Wilson Custom Government .45 

Merry Barnhart won the Limited Class Nationals 

if/against all the hi-cap g,uns with a single-stack 

Colt .45 ACP, his trusty Wilson Tactical Elite. He 

never fumbled a reload. 

Fast reliable reloads require more than just a 

bevelled mag well. 

You need a Wilson 

Speed-ChuteTm, the 

largest and best mag 

funnel you can buy 

without going to a 

costly hand-made 

weld-on job. 

For quality and 

value, the Wilson 

Speed-ChuteTm is the 

solution for singlestacks. 

It's quality all 

the way. Machined 

from bar stock for precise 

fit and finish (not a casting, like some other 

brands) and made to be installed yourself. 

Carry guns for self-defense also should have a 

Wilson Speed-ChuteTm. Thin and unobtrusive, the 

gun does not "print" 

any larger with a 

Wilson Speed-ChuteTM. 

(The Speed-Chute TM 

only adds about 3/8 

inch to the butt's 

length.) 

Try a Wilson 

Speed-ChuteTm and 

get the winning edge 

that Jerry Barnhart 

gives himself— the 

Wilson Championship 

Advantage. 

ULTIMA-LUBETm Revolutionizes Gun 

Lubricant, Blows Competition Away 

Wilson's new ULTIMA-LUBETm is not just 

"gun oil," it's a sophisticated new metal 

treatment that works by creating electrochemical 

ionization to actually penetrate the metal's pores 

on a microscopic level. ULTIMA-LUBETm, which 

comes in a handy syringe applicator, reduces friction 

better than any other ' gun oil" tested by an 

independent laboratory. 

And the unique properties of ULTIMA- 

LUBETm bore solvent actually increase velocity 

while reducing lead and copper fouling in your 

barrel. Swab your bore with ULTIMA-LUBETm 

before a chrono test for an extra few feet cushion. 

ULTIMA-LUBETm contains billions of particles 

that penetrate the metal's pores to protect and 

lubricate. Even after the "oil" carrier has rubbed 

off, ULTIMA-LUBETm is still there, invisibly keeping 

your gun running. Unlike Teflon-based oils, 

ULTIMA-LUBETm does not attract grunge.

SAFETY CHECKS AT THE 

CLUB PRACTICE... 

The "XYZ Practical Pistol 

Club" holds a combined club 

practice day and business meeting 

at the range once a month. 

The chief instructor has set 

aside the time from 0900 to 

1200 for safety checks on one of 

the smaller ranges. Each 

month, on a rotating basis, a 

pair of his instructors have set 

up the instructional area and 

are ready for business at 0900. 

The suggested fee for this 

service is $5.00, which pays the 

range fee, the cost of the student 

booklet "Getting Started 

Safely," targets and refreshments. 

The instructors strive 

to create a friendly and supportive 

learning environment. After 

the check the shooters are 

invited to practice with the club 

members and get acquainted. 

When they leave, they have 

full information on the club and 

USPSA programs, a competed 

safety check, and an invitation 

to shoot the next club match 

with one of the club's experienced 

shooters. Do they leave 

with the impression that those 

practical shooters were really 

friendly and helpful? You bet. 

Safety Check Day has been 

advertised by (1) posters at the 

range, (2) a combined flyer and 

safety check form distributed to 

local gun shops, club members, 

and recently checked shooters 

(referral business), and (3) inclusion 

in the club calendar and 

newsletter which goes to clubs 

and shooters all over the area. 

These safety checks can also be 

advertised as an "Introduction 

to Practical Shooting."

HOW 

PRACTICAL 

IS 

PRACTICAL 

SHOOTING? 

The type of practical shooting we're all familiar with is staged in a sporting 

atmosphere. But if a situation arises where you are faced with protecting 

yourself and your family, it will be no game. 

That's why the Practical Shooting Academy hosts a 40-hour Tactical Pistol 

Course designed to help you manage lethal force encounters whether you're 

at home, outdoors or traveling in a vehicle. 

We start by teaching state-of-the-art shooting techniques that work under 

high-stTess situations. Then we teach real-world tactical principles and 

decision-making skills—when to shoot, when not to shoot. Students will 

engage in a series of a tactical exercises to put these principles into action. 

Ron Avery will also address: • the legal implications of self-defense with a 

firearm • the elements that make up a justifiable shooting • what firearms 

modifications are acceptable • modes of carry • courtroom sunrival in the 

aftermath of a shooting • mental conditioning and much, much more. 

So if you're interested in the defensive aspects of handgunning, the practical 

thing to do is call Ron Avery at the Practical Shooting Academy.

30mm diam sight assures 

a clear round dot The 

patented Multi-Colored

If Red is not providing a 

clear dot because of 

lighting conditions, just 

switch the diode to Green 

Ideal for indoor ranges or 

when any light situation 

makes Red a poor option 

The ability to change the

sighting in again could 

mean the difference 

between being "Champion"

• MORE LEAD RISKS 

Recently, while I was separating 

a bunch of brass that 

had been cleaned from corn cob 

media, I noticed a considerable 

amount of dust in the system. I 

wondered what type and how 

much contamination was present 

in the corn cob media. 

I removed a 20-30 gram sample 

of media from the vibratory 

cleaner. The sample was then 

placed in a beaker with a clean 

solvent and set in an ultrasonic 

cleaner for about five minutes. 

(Ultrasonic cleaning was used 

to remove/separate the debris 

from the corn cob media.) All 

the corn cob was then removed 

from the solution, followed by 

filtering the contaminated sol-

Dave Thomas, L796 

COLOR UNLIMITED 

vent through a filter patch. A 

full chemical analysis was then 

performed on the collected debris 

by using an Energy Dispersive 

Spectrometer attached to a 

Scanning Electron Microscope. 

The total lead content in the 

system ranged from 10-15%, 

depending on the area of the 

patch analyzed. Also 4-6% antimony 

and 6-9% barium were 

present. High concentrations of 

aluminum, silicon, iron, copper 

and zinc were also observed. 

Needless to say, the lead/contamination 

content of the cleaning 

media will increase with 

use. 

All these contaminates could 

present potential health risks. 

For those of you who shoot jacketed 

bullets, the antimony will 

not be as prevalent, but the 

lead will still be present due to 

primer contamination. 

Precautions should be taken 

when storing, handling and/or 

Heidi Thomas, A21604 

disposing of any vibratory brass 

cleaning media. 

Keep this in mind the next 

time you have the kids cleaning 

and sorting your brass.

• GET POLITICAL 

USPSA may not be able to be 

politically active, but dear 

reader, you can and here is 

how. 

First, if you haven't already, 

join the NRA. The toll free 

number is 1-800-368-5714, No 

excuses. 

Second, join the NRA Institute 

for Legislative Action. Call 

(703) 267-1000 or mail your 

contribution to the NRA-ILA, 

11250 Waple Mill Rd., Fairfax, 

VA 22030. The ILA is a registered 

PAC, makes campaign 

contributions, lobbies and 

fights for our 2nd Amendment 

rights in Congress and all 50 

state legislatures. A contribution 

of $30 or more gets you a 

sharp-looking tan twill NRA- 

ILA shooter's cap. Wear one. 

Third, write your TV stations 

and networks, magazines and 

newspapers, and local, state 

and federal elected officials and 

tell them what you think. Try 

not to be strident, stay calm, be 

rational and don't say you're a

yourself and occupation. The 

pen is mightier than a gun.

WANTED: YOUR 

CREATIVITY! 

Have you ever looked at a 

course design and said to yourself, 

"I can do better?" Well, 

here is your chance to shine. 

Sten Svensson, RD - Sweden 

and Match Director of the 1995 

European IPSC Championship, 

is inviting all IPSC shooters 

and ROs world-wide to design 

courses for this prestigious 

tournament. 

The contest will be held for 

two categories, Speed Shoot 

and Field Course, and selection 

of the 30 courses will be decided 

jointly by the Match Directorate, 

IPSC and IROA. They also 

reserve the right to alter or 

modify any course design if necessary. 

The shooters themselves 

will vote on the best 

course in each category; prizes 

for winners in each category 

will be presented at the awards 

ceremony. 

Each entry must comply with 

IPSC Principles and Rules and 

must specify the category: 

Speed Shoot or Field Course, 

course details (see Rule 5.02, 

page 36 of the Practical Shooting 

Handbook, 6th edition); the 

scenario; a list of props and materials; 

and a stage drawing including 

metric dimensions. 

You may submit as many entries 

as you wish, but all entries 

must be received at the official 

match address no later than 

April 30, 1994. Mail your entries 

to IPSC Europe 95, 

P.O.Box 11, 620 12 Hemse, 

SWEDEN. If you need more information, 

please call Stefan

valid.

September 19-24, 1994, and for

PRODUCT NEWS 

Hodgdon Powder Co, Updates H41331 

H4831 powder was originally introduced in 1950 by 

Bruce Hodgdon and has been a favorite of shooters from 

the beginning. The only complaint shooters have voiced 

about it was that it didn't pour well through powder 

measures. Not any rnore. We have shortened the length 

of the kernels of powder, which allows the powder to 

flow through powder measures more smoothly and 

accurately without large charge weight variations. Additionally, 

the individual grains orient more compactly, 

improving loading density. A great powder just got 

better. 

Nielson Custom Cases has announced 

a major price reduction, 

effective immediately, for two of its 

lines, the TRAVELER and the 

SOLO. As a result of increased production, 

costs have been reduced 

and we are passing the savings on 

to our customers. 

A most important criteria is performance. Good news! 

It hasn't changed a bit. Load data remains identical, 

with optimum velocity and superb accuracy still the 

norm. The name remains H4831, with SC for "short 

cut" on the end. No, we haven't dropped the standard 

old favorite H4831. We now offer both versions to 

accommodate those who would rather "fight than 

switch." 

Look to Hodgdon for the greatest selection of rifle, 

pistol and shotgun powders. For more information, 

write Hodgdon at P. O. Box 2932, Shawnee Mission, KS 

66201, or call (913) 362-9455 

Nielsen Announces Price Reductions 

The TRAVELER, a compact, userfriendly 

black nylon case for storage 

and transportation of three handguns 

plus accessories, has been reduced 

from $159.00 to $129.95. The 

case, which is constructed of heavyweight 

ballistic nylon or fine 

leather, has a thermoplastic dosedcell 

foam lining and a semi-rigid 

structural frame to withstand the 

demanding needs of the law enforcement 

industry, sportsmen and 

others. 

The SOLO, a best-seller, will likewise 

be reduced from $79 to $49.95 

in black nylon and to $139 in black 

top grain leather. 

For more information, call (800) 

377-1341, and be sure to tell them 

you saw it in Front Sight.

judgment in this case, but 

generally there would not 

be a penalty. If the competitor 

has to reload because 

he ran his magazine dry, 

then he'll be required to 

either reload one-handed, 

or take a penalty for using 

the off-hand. 

One final tip — specify 

an exact place where the 

arm becomes incapacitated. 

If a reload is going to be 

part of the competitor's 

strategy, give him a chance 

to make it without penalty 

before the "accident." Avoid 

placing the RO in the awkward 

position of deciding 

when only the one hand 

may be used, and make it 

clear to everyone that you 

can't back up past the line 

and be healed so you can 

use the other hand!

SCALE BREAKTHROUGH 

No More pain in the Clinton 

Let's lace it. balance beam scales are a real 

pain in the Clinton. First of all they're extremely 

tedious to set up and use. Then. just when you 

think you've got the thing pinned down, it will 

switch positions and lie to you. Even when you 

manage to keep it zeroed. getting an accurate 

reading is a slow tedious process at best. Ugh! 

PACT To The Rescue 

Our new PACT Digital Precision Powder 

Scale offers a rational alternative to this Wobbly 

performance. Accurate weights are instantly displayed 

on our large. easy to read. display. No 

more waiting for the scale to settle down and 

make up its mind. just quick accurate readings 

PACT's exclusive automatic error detection and 

correction software helps insure accuracy and 

repeatability. 

Not Created Equal 

Digital powder scales have been around for 

years. The good ones give excellent performance 

but, unfortunately, have had (until now) a very 

high price. often in the neighborhood of $300.00 

or more. Not based on a repackaged postage 

meter or kitchen scale, the PACT Digital 

Precision Powder Scale was designed from the 

ground up with you. the reloader. in mind. Take a 

look at our platen design, its engineered to perfectly 

center the standard powder cup over the 

load cell to enhance accuracy. Like the expensive 

scales. our scale comes with two class 6 

ultra precision check weights for proper calibration 

in compliance with weigh scale industry 

standards . In addition, our software allows you to 

add your own calibration points for further refinement. 

Truth In Weighing 

Those of you who are familiar with our 

chronographs and shooting timers know that we're 

pretty good at building trick software into our products. 

The PACT Digital Precision Powder Scale is 

no exception. First of all we use excellent analog 

to digital circuitry between the load cell and our 

computer. Ten times a second we compare the 

raw scale readings against the calibration readings 

(remember those two check weights) stored 

in memory_ As long as everything checks out, we'll 

give you a stable accurate reading on the display. 

If we detect an error we'll warn you and ask you 

to re calibrate the scale Of course all of this is 

happening invisibly in the background, without you 

having to mess with it. How can we sell such a 

fine scale for so low a price? That's simple. we 

manufacture it ourselves and sell factory 

direct to you 

Future Upgrades 

As with all of our products we've kept the 

door open for future upgrades. Already in the 

works is an optional Infrared I/0 port for communication 

with the HP 82240 Printer we've used for 

years with our chronographs. This same I/0 port 

will allow the scale to drive a variety of electronic 

powder tricklers and powder measures coming 

onto the market shortly. We've got plenty of room 

in memory for future software upgrades as well. 

What form will they take? You tell us.

A high capacity .38 Super for IPSC...a reliable .40 SSW for duty use... 

a slim, comfortable 9mm for my wife. 

o I bought a multi-caliber 

Now I Can Afford To Have It All! 

Lots of gun companies have offered pistols with interchangeable 

calibers, but there has usually been a catch. Like finding out that 

magazines weren't available for every caliber...or discovering that 

some "Insignificant" little part (like an extractor) List didn't work as 

promised in all calibers. Doesn't sound too "interchangeable" to us. 

European American Armory's WITNESS cuts through all the hokum 

of most "multi-caliber" claims. Here are the facts: 

• Starting with any *new standard sized WITNESS pistol, you can 

easily change to any of six different calibers by simply substituting 

a different top end and magazine. There is only minimal fitting 

required, because precise machining at the factory guarantees that 

most frames and slides are easily interchangeable. 

• WITNESS add-on top ends are available in new .22LR. 9mm x 19, 

gmm x 21, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and brand new .38 Super. 

Most calibers are available in a choice of slide length, with ported or 

unported barrels, and either with or without muzzle compensators 

and other custom options. 

If all that's not enough to convince you that WITNESS can deliver 

more of what you want, remember that the affordable WITNESS still 

has the slimmest. most comfortable grip of any high capacity pistol 

on the market...it's been performance proven by world class 

competitors like IPSC World Champion Doug Koenig and one of 

America's top female competitors. Shirley Hamilton. And, it carries 

EAA's exclusive Limited Lifetime Warranty.
