By Michael yogi, SPSA PRESIDEVpresidenl@uspsa.orgI \SIDEspsAHello everyone,In the winter months I usuallyschedule maintenance, preparefirearms for the coming competitionand training season, work out and dothe huge pile of duties around thehouse that have been postponed due tothe busy fall season. This year seems tohave never taken a break! The goodnews is that the workload has paid offin the past couple of months with greatdevelopments for USPSA/IPSC and thefirearms industry in general.USPSA will once again be featuredon major cable TV! Shooting USA '4(hosted by Jim Scoutten on the OutdoorLife Network) will produce fourseparate shows featuring the four individual2003 USPSA National Championships.The show has many featuresthat convinced us to sign this agreement.Jim Scoutten knows USPSA. Hehas worked with us in the past and representsour matches accurately. ShootingUSA"' does not need to sell advertisingto buy airtime; the show's timeslots are already financially committedto. Our sponsors will be shown, shootersinterviewed and our sport will bedisplayed to more than SO millionhomes. With a format of mixing newand rerun shows, our matches will nothave the months of delay between actuallybeing shot and being shown onthe air. Coverage on the TV will befaster than most of the firearms magazines!The SHOT show seemed to be hoppingfrom start to finish. It is hard togauge the turnout or success of SHOTin a new venue because of the layout ofdifferent venues. Orlando had manyentrances that kept the crowds movingthroughout the show at an even pace.My wife Colleen has been workingwith our sponsors and was very busyduring SHOT explaining changes inUSPSA Nationals format, media coverageand other areas that will help themanufactures gain exposure to enthusiasticshooters. USPSA was well receivedat SHOT by old friends and bymany new companies. With the ShootingUSA— coverage malcing a real difference,we have a large number of toplevel sponsors signed for this year'sUSPSA Nationals... don't miss a greatset of championships. And as always,remember to buy from those that supportour sport!IPSC and USPSA instead of USPSAversus IPSC is a huge change!In 2001 I gathered a group of representativesfrom each continent withthe goal of writing a better set of IPSCrules that the whole world could workwith. John Arnidon updated rules andrestructured the rule book to allow regionsto exercise necessary differencesas well as to make use of the book easier.Unfortunately, due to the long gunrules being uncoordinated with handgun;we did not submit rules for GAapproval.

i \S IDEBy John Amidon, NROI DIRECTOR‘puspsagaol.wmwell, we have just reacheddouble digits here atnighttime, so it mustmean that spring is rightaround the corner, and with that, theshooting season will be in full bloom.It seems that many of you like the questionand answer format that I havebeen using in my column, so I will continuewith it.Weak Hand-Only Reload?I was recently shooting a SpecialClassifier at a local club in Revolver divisionto get classified. We had a stagewhere we shot six targets with oneround each (freestyle), reloaded, shoteach target again with one round each(freestyle), reloaded again, and shoteach of the six targets again with oneshot each, weak hand only. A fellowcompetitor watched me reload beforethe last six-shot weak hand "segment,"just as I had before between the firstand second segment; I transferred therevolver from my right (strong) hand,ejected the brass with my left hand, andreloaded with a moon clip using myright hand, and then transferred backto the appropriate hand to shoot. Hestated that I should have done thewhole reload with my left hand onlybecause the last segment stated weakPlease send.1 I 00for our rrejcataloghand only as per rule 10.1.4.9. I don'tunderstand this, because I don't seehow you could reload the revolver usingonly one hand. Even if I transferredthe revolver to my left (weak) hand,how can I insert a loaded moonclipwithout using my right hand? It's impossible!Please clarify this issue for usbecause I don't understand. The ruleseems to back up my friend, but I stilldon't understand it.AnswerYour friend is wrong and the rulesindicate this. Rule 1.1.5 states the spec-ified hand must be used exclusivelyfrom the point of stipulation for thebalance of the string or stage. You statethat you must perform a reload, thenengage the targets weak hand only,thus, once the reload is done, weakhand takes over. So no penalty.••■■■■■PANIHER- BULL 24 SPSped atki SCOrrnot included.Mufti-String = Standards?Am 1 interpreting rule US 6.1.2 correctlyin concluding that any stage with"more than one separately timed componentstring" is, by definition, a StandardExercise and needs to complywith all of the rules pertaining to aStandard?AnswerYes, you are interpreting the rulecorrectly. Multiple strings are used inStandard Exercises only, and must followthe rules of US 1.2.2.1, US 6.1.2and 6.1.2.1.Prepping A Production GunCan I prepare the surface of thefrontstrap and backstrap of a Productiongun so the "skateboard tape" has auniform surface with which to properlybond?AnswerYou may apply skateboard tape toyour grips, and the frontstrap andrearstrap are considered part of thegrip. You cannot, however, alter thesurface of the grip prior to installingthe skateboard tape.Fiber Optics For ProductionIf the front sight is of the "post"configuration and contains a lightgathering colored dot, is it still legal forProduction division?PANTHER- LO PRO CLASSICAffordable.

Through RulesIn an upcoming match I intend touse a swinging target that appears andretreats behind a no-shoot target. Toprevent pass-throughs we have alwaysused a steel no-shoot and appliedpenalties accordingly for hits on theno-shoot. This array, with steel as theno-shoot, has always been at safe distancesof 11 meters or more.The scenario I would like to presentin one of the stages is to have a swingerappear out from behind a no-shoot ata distance of 7 yards and state in thestage briefing that the no-shoot is softcover. Penalties will apply on the noshootand pass through hits will scoreon the moving target.Would Rule 3.2.4 allow me to dothis since it is not addressed in 9.1.5?This would allow me to set the arraycloser to the shooting position without the steel safery issue, pass-throughissues or just a soft cover wall that thecompetitor would just hose through tohit the mover.AnswerRule 3.2.4 addresses props, walls,barriers, screens and vision barriers,that they are hard cover unless stipulatedotherwise. It does not say thatyou can declare a penalty target as softcover.Rule 9.1.5 does cover it by statingthat all IPSC paper targets are deemedto be impenetrable and that if a full diameterpasses through a target whetherit be scoring or penalty, that the hit onthe target behind it will not score.So, if you use the setup you indicated,then you will have scoring problemswith the stage that will need to beaddressed according to the rules.Legality Of Texas StarSince the Texas Star moves at a differentspeed, counter and clockwise,presenting different scenarios and notgiving the shooters and equal presentation,can they be considered a violationof 4.5.1 and 4.5.1.1? Have they beendeclared a legal target of USPSA?AnswerMoving targets are legal, some willslow down and offer a different speedto shooters than others. This has beenthe way for many years. Rules 9.9.1and 9.9.2 Steel plates are legal, providingthat they are made to the dimensionsillustrated in the appendix.4.3.1.3 and Appendix D. There is norule that restricts steel plates from beinga moving target.Practice Makes4-, PerfectFamily"Starline provides the highest quality brassavailable and that is why I choose it forcompetition."NEW * UNPRIMED BRASSCALIBER 250 PAK 500 PAK 1000 PAK7.62X25 TOKARE V 66.00 111.00380 AUTO 41.50 74.509MM41.50 74.50. .9X21 47.00 79.00911AN LARGO 52.00 85.009 SUPER COMP (9 x 23) 58.00 103.009/AM MAKAROV 46.00 76.0038 SUPER 45.00 75.0038 SUPER+P 53.00 98.0038 SUPER COMP 57.00 99.0038 SFIECIAL+P 42.00 71.00357 IAAG 45.00 75.50357 SIG 62.00 102.0040 SAW 56.50 98.0010MM 58.00 101.0044 SPECIAL 57.00 99.0044 MAG 56.00 98.0044 AUTO MAG 120.00 202.0045 AUTO 53.00 93.0045 AUTO+P 60.00 108.0045 SUPER 68.00 119.00460 ROWLAND 84.00 149.00454 CASULL 66.00 109.00 197.00This Is a partial list.

These are the affiliationsand reaffiliations that have been completedby March 12, 2003, and yes,that does include the late reaffiliationsto that date. Please check the listings onpage 60; if your club is not on this list,please check with them.Store Orders -- A ReminderWith the rising costs of mailing anythinganywhere, the USPSA Store hashad to raise its shipping and handlingfees slightly. USPSA now follows a twotieredshipping structure. You'll pay aflat $5 if your order consists of nothingbut small items, or a flat $10 if your orderincludes larger items (as indicatedon the order form). Orders going toCanada cost an additional $15.00 andthose that go overseas cost an additional$20.00.Quarterly Reportsflirty days after the end of everyquarter, we mail a report to each clubthat has submitted activities to us,showing how many shooters, members,bonus points and dollars wererecorded for that club for the quarter,INFORMATION EVERYONE SHOULD KNOWBy Val Reule, EXECUTNE SECRETARYal@uspsa.orgby date and by division. The first quarterlyreports went out to the clubs thefirst week of May. Did you get yours?Club CodesWhen a club becomes affiliatedwith USPSA for the first time, it is issueda club code consisting of the initialsof the section and a two-digit identifier.For instance, GA03 is the codefor Cherokee Gun Club in Georgia;WPA06 is Gem City Practical Shootersin the Western Pennsylvania section;and IPSC10 is River City ShootersClub, an independent club in Texas.This is the code we use when enteringscores for the members and activitycredits for the clubs. Clubs, pleasecheck to be sure your work has the correctclub code on it as well as the correctdate and the correct classifier numberbefore you send it in! If you are notsure what your code is, please look atthe top of your quarterly report, or callus.INCOMING - IWith the proliferation of electronicand faxed reporting to beat the deadline,some clubs are waiting until thelast possible minute to try to get theiractivities to us — and then their shootersare disappointed when the classifierscores for that activity don't show upon the web site. We have to have theclassifier, including the cover sheet andthe fees, in the office, physically in ourhands, absolutely no later than ourclosing time of 5 PM Pacific time onthe 10th of the month (or the nextbusiness day, if the 10th falls on aweekend day). Anything that comes inafter 5 PM or is incomplete will be heldover to the next cycle.Sending Things Via E-MailBecause of the proliferation ofBULETI\BOARD dcomputer viruses these days, we don'topen any attachment without knowingwhat it is and who sent it. If you dosend something via e-mail as an attachment,please identify the attachment inthe e-mail, such as "Here is the classifierreport from club XX17 for March15."Are We There Yet? Are WeThere Yet? Are We There Yet?Every month, we get calls from newshooters wanting to be classified, andclassified shooters who are looking forthat Master Class card. Unfortunately,they call at 8:15 AM on the 10th, expectingus to have already finished themonthly run, and why haven't theygotten a card yet?As much as we would like to be magicians,and the minute the deadlinepasses, POOF! have all the scores enteredand verified, reports run andread, and the system run, it really doesn'thappen that way. If the volume ofincoming scores has been heavy, it maytake us an extra day just to enter themall. After all the scores are entered,Barbara runs a verification list, and wecompare all the scores on the list to thehard copy to make sure the scores havebeen entered correctly, that club codes,dates and classifier numbers match.There are also other reports that haveto be run and verified before the systemis cycled, so it is seldom that wehave the process completed before the12th of the month. Cards go out withina day or two of the final run, and theweb site is updated from the final run,usually by the middle of the month.So we ask you, our competingmembers, as much as we love talking toyou, to please be patient. Half the funof the journey to wherever you are goingis the journey itself. Good luck andgood shooting!May/June 2003 • FRONT SIGHT 7

Ireceive letters and phone calls on a regular basis complimenting our staff on how helpful and knowledgeable they are and getlots of positive comments on the direction the organization is going. 1 tnilybelieve USPSA decisions are made with the individual member's bestinterest in mind — every time.Several other goals were also planned and the results speak for themselves:I. Stop the erosion of USPSA and IPSC relationships.• I am currently a member of the IPSC President's Council.• I am chairman of the IPSC rules committee• USPSA has voting representation on all rule committees.2. Work with other action shooting sports to promote sport shooting.• USPSA input solved the NRA Action Shooting Championshipsshoot-off timing display problems.• GSSF held an official demonstration stage at the 2002 Factory Gun Nationals.• NRA Action Shooting approved an official demonstration stage at 2002 Factory Gun Nationals.• IDPA BOD approved an official demonstration stage at 2002 Factory Gun Nationals.3.

The enormoussize of the Orange CountyConvention Center was definitelyoverwhelming, but that magnitudewas soon surpassed by the generosityand support that was extendedby each company and organizationthat I had the pleasure to meetwith.USPSA offers the National ChampionshipSponsors some really neatbenefits, and I was very excited tobring those to the table and elaborateHearing Protectionyou can Hear!When most of us think about safety, wethink of preventing a serious accident.In most cases, hearing loss doesn'thappen in an instant, but gradually,over time.

The TexasWindmillw L.BY RORURT PORTER, TY36494needed a new andunique contraption forthe Lone Star Matchhere in Texas. When Idrew the idea on a napkin for the clubdirectors it looked a lot like a windmill,so we decide to call it "The TexasWindmill." I guess here in Texas wehave a liking for things that go aroundand around, like the plates on theTexas Star.The Texas Windmill is powered bya large weight and a nylon cord whichis wrapped around the shaft. A startweight (hung from one of the targetsticks) gets the windmill spinning rightaway, and the main weight keeps thetarget spinning at that speed. Adjustingwhere you place the start weight adjustshow fast the array will spin. Thewindmill will rotate about 11 times beforeit stops, so it spins for a while. Thewindmill center is set about five feettall and the targets are about 7 feetfrom head to head, when you place thetargets like the photo.There are several different ways toplace targets on the windmill, dependingon how mean you feel that day.Placing the targets sideways on thesticks makes them the easiest to engage.The targets go around from headto foot in a line, which gives you lessspace in between targets and more targetto shoot at for a longer time. Placingthe targets so they stick straight outfrom the center of the array makes engagingthem much harder. The uglyway is to put some kind of hard coveron the targets or no-shoots betweentargets. OUCH! We usually put thewindmill behind a barricade and putup a few no-shoot targets to keep theshooter from engaging the targets atthe top and shooting over the berm.There are about a dozen ways to setup the Texas Windmill in a stage. Youcan set it up as you see it, or set it upwith shoot targets behind it and noshootsspinning in front of them. An-other option is to shoot itthrough a port, or to shoot it aseach target comes out besidethe edge of a wall. You can evendisengage the weights and letthe shooter run up to a port andturn the windmill by hand.(This takes some carpentry todo safely, but it's a lot of fun.) Ifthey have a high classification,they can just give the windmilla spin and double tap targets asthey go by.This is a really fun prop andhas a great WOW factor. If youwould like to see it in action goto our website at www.wf.net/—scorch and click onthe video clip. If you really likethe prop, You can have one ofyour very own or for your clubfor $75 plus shipping. It comeswith everything you need to setit up and start shooting (minustargets and sticks).

BASICpBY ROBIN TAYLOR, USPSA STAFFoster child for Production Divisionand youthful preacher forthe stock gun, David Sevigny'smental intensity and hockeytrainedhand-eye coordination havelaunched him into the top tiers of bothUSPSA and IDPA competition.More curiously, at 30 years of age,Sevigny has made the rare transitionfrom shooter to full-time industry employee.The last year has seen himmoving rapidly from working as a tooland die maker (in Connecticut), tomanaging the production line at TritonAmmo (in New York), to talcing a staffjob with Glock, Inc. (in Georgia) inMarch of this year. When Front Sightcaught up with him, Glock was traininghim to serve as a GSSF range master,traveling the United States producingGSSF events under the supervisionof Glock's Chris Edwards and ScottGilbertson. Of course he'll be shootingfor Glock too, appearing side-by-sidewith ladies' World Champion (standard)Sharon Zaffiro who works fulltimefor Glock's range rental program.How did all this happen, and happenso quicldy?FOCUS.Ask him what David Sevigny doesbetter than most other shooters, andhe'll tell you straight up."Determination. I never spread my-BLACKself too thin. Whatever I do, I try to beexclusive to it. . .When I was a goalie,I'd get up at 4:00 a.m., get to the rinkat 5:00, practice for two hours, and beto work at 7:30. We'd go up and playagainst some really tough Canadianteams. I was a hockey player."Interestingly enough, Sevigny saysplaying league hockey was a lot likeshooting, only with a team focus."I played with a bunch of guys fromConnecticut, lawyers, machinists. Allwalks of life are into it."Sevigny first came to the shootingsports when one of his co-workersasked him to fill out his 3-man GSSFteam back in 1997. Sevigny taggedalong and discovered he really enjoyedcompetitive shooting. Sevigny shottwo more GSSF matches in 1998 anddiscovered IDPA in 1999. In 2000, thepractical shooting bug bit, Sevigny gotserious about IDPA shooting, andDavid started winning matches —quickly. Within months he was a contender.Triton Ammo picked him up inearly 2000 as a sponsored shooter onthe recommendation of Bryce Linskey,and Sevigny went on to win Stock ServicePistol for them at the IDPA WinterNationals in 2000."I shot one club IPSC match in1999, and started shooting that in2000," he says. "It was a progression,discovering that all the practical shootingsports turned out to be really goodstuff.... When I got into Limited, I waskind of 'let off the leash' so to speak."When the 14th edition rule bookcame out in early 2001, Sevigny startedplaying around with Production Division.It was a natural pairing to hisGSSF and IDPA equipment, and dovetailedwell with Sevigny's stock-gunsonlyattitutude."I started that in 2001, and the classifierstell the whole story," he says.Sevigny won the Production title in2001, ousting the favorite, Angus Hobdell.For a time, Sevigny and 2000USPSA Production Champion ErnestLangdon both shot for Triton, togetherwith Bryce Linskey, Joe Seuk, and TomYost. Together that group was a forceto be reckoned with, winning or placingat every IDPA event they attended.Stock Glocks R UsFrom his first days in GSSF, Sevignyhas always stuck with a Glock, and astock GIock at that. Using ArmandoValdes as his role model, Sevigny hasmade winning with a stock Glock hiscalling card. Today Sevigny is mostdangerous with a Glock 34 in his hand.With that, he won the USPSA ProductionTitle, the IDPA Winter Nationals,the Florida Open and IDPA Nationals(twice each), the Stock Service Pistol16 FRONT SIGHT • May/June 2003

He's shown here atthe 2002 Factory Gun Nationals.THE SHOOTER'SAPPROACHTO PRACTiCEInside there are over 30 drills totrack your improvement on thefour things you must do fast:Draw, reload, target transitionsand movement.Please make all checks payable to:Sam Conwayc/o Talon PublishingPO Box 831Brunswick GA 31525e-mail: Talonpublishing (ihotmail.commatch guns are box-stock Glock 34'sand 35's (plus a Glock 17 for internationalmatches). The same Ky-TacSooper-Hooper II holster accommodatesthem all.His Limited gun is onlyslightly more ornate. Cus-• tom Arms Co. does some framestippling on his Glock 35 for him,and fills in the hollow space in theGlock's grip, transforming the voidinto a sort of internal mag well. Totalexpenditure: maybe $1000, includingsights. "All my other guns don't evenhave skateboard tape on them. I justshoot them smooth," he says.As to triggers, "I've kind of gonefull circle on that in the last sixmonths," says Sevigny. "I've toyed withsome different things, but I've decidedto stick with the stock trigger."Here again, take note of the exclusivity.All of Sevigny's guns look, feel,and behave very much the same. All hisguns, his Hyrdastorm water carrier,and even his clothes are basic blackwith Glock logos on them. A littlemore barrel length, a little different recoil,the differences are minute. Thegrip, controls, and sights are all thesame. As a trainer might say, they're"transparent" — no re-training or familiarizationrequired (other than timing).Playing Both Sides Of TheFenceSevigny's homogeneous equipmentpays big dividends when it's time totransition between disciplines. Thisyear, Sevigny will be shooting Productionfull time up until the USPSA FactoryGun match in July, then switch toa blend of Limited and IDPA Stock ServicePistol in the runup to the USPSAand IDPA national events.Once again, exclusivity comes intoplay. Notice there isn't an Open gunanywhere in sight. No Bianchi cup orSteel Challenge toys to worry about.Nothing but stock Glocks."The most important thing for ashooter to understand is the scoringsystem. You absolutely have to knowhow the different games and divisionsare scored. Sit down sometime with acalculator, and you'll be able to tellquite easily that sometimes shootingfor points is the way to go, as long asyou're not that much slower than goingfull out. I've been guilty of goingtoo fast and getting to where you'renot seeing anything. Any time you haveto wander around following the RO,hoping the shots are there, that's bad.But we've all been there."As the summer wears on, Sevignywill find himself wearing a competitor'sbadge one week, and a range officer'sbadge the next. He seems excitedabout spending time on the other sideof that fence as well."It's nice being able to give back tothe sport now, especially because I'minvolved in the venue that got mestarted. With the practical stuff, this isall volunteer effort, and it's critical tokeeping these sports alive. Now I'm anemployee, and I get paid for it, but it'snice nonetheless."Strong Suits: Vision AndReaction TimeListen to Rob Leatham (a formerenduro motorcyle racer) talk about hisnatural abilities, and he regularly men-Cases fly as Sevigny shoots his wayto seventh Limited at the 2002 RaceGun in Bend, Ore.18 FRONT SIGHT • May/June 2003

Sevignysays his years as a goalie helped him hone his abilityto react and make decisions under stress.tions his ability to switch focus quickly. Talk to Todd Jarrett andhe'll tell you he doesn't win matches on his shot-to-shot splits,he wins on his transitions. When I asked Sevigny what his strongsuit was, physically, he mentioned the same sorts of things."I think I see things really quickly," he says. "You can only shootas fast as you can see, so probably fast hand-eye speed helps me.That and being able to make quick decisions, like what to dowhen a 90-mile-per-hour puck is coming."He has certainly had to make a number of quick decisions inthe last year career-wise, which so far have worked out well. Infact, one of the more consistent items on the home front hasbeen his girlfriend, Dana, a firearms examiner whom he met ona flight home from a GSSF match."GSSF has been reallygood to me," he joked.Now favored to placein the Top 16 whereverhe appears, Sevignyis quickly becominga household nameamong both USPSA/_www.acc-u-rail.comAll 1911's style, LDA Pura &Browning Hi-Power, too.Doug Jones2271 Star CourtIPSC and IDPA shoot- Bldg. 4ers nationwide.

Mondo Mud. Match Director Artie Mitchell dugout much of "Mighty Mouse" for Sunday's mudfest.and Mart Harris contributed manyhours of set-up time.STI is the Founding Match Sponsor,having sponsored the match everyyear since its inception. The other MajorMatch Sponsors were Strayer-VoigtInc and Shooters Connection, whilethe Match Sponsors included MitchellCustom Guns and Outdoor Specialties.Stage Sponsors are noted in the stagedescriptions that follow.In addition to agenerous prize table,class and division winnerstook home a beltbuckle instead of themore typical plaque ortrophy. Top Lady ReneeTyson said this matchhad "a fun, relaxed atmosphere[and a] greatprize table. I love mybelt buckle - a trophyyou can wear!" TexasState Limited has alwaysbeen a favoriteamong shooters, and"first-timer" DavidBirdwell agreed: "Itwas tun, I'll definitely be back. Eventhough this was the biggest IPSC matchI've been to and one of the most competitive,everyone I shot with had goodattitudes and friendly faces. I didn'tnotice any negative `tudes as I figuredyou would see in such a competitivearena."Stage 1, Have A Shot, was spon-sored by Triangle Shooting Sports andSmith & Alexander. This stage was agood ol' stand-up 16-round speedshoot that began at the Toon Town Saloon.Mandatory reloads and classicpoppers standing in front of no-shootsmade this a not-as-easy-as-it-looksspeed trap that caught more than onecompetitor.Brazos Custom Gunworks' Stage 2was Quick Draw's Round-D-Round,also known as "the windmill stage."The windmill was a classic Rube Goldbergmachine, a spinning propeller-likewheel with four identical targets thatcould be activated by shooting either afar-right or far-left popper. (See relatedstory on page 15.) The targetswere visible through two large lowports, and the challenge on this stagefor many shooters was decidingwhether to shoot each target once ortwice as it spun by. Texas seems to haveno shortage of clever shooters buildingnew props, as the windmill joins theTexas Star and the bear-trap in thestage designer's arsenal.

Porter. Another windmill design hadalso appeared at a match in Coleman,Texas, prior to the state Limited match.Robert said, "No, I did not base thisdesign on one I saw at Coleman. It waslike two great minds coming up withthe same idea at the same time. The designsare similar but Coleman's turnsabout four times faster (really) andgoes in both directions. I had the ideato build one for about four years andgot around to building one for myhome club recently."The windmill has four targets withpower supplied by a heavy weightwrapped around the shaft of the windmilland a lighter weight on the targetsticks or the pulley mounted on theback. The smaller weight gives thewindmill an instant boost to get it movingat speed right away. The otherweight just keeps it going. The speed ofthe targets can be manipulated by theaddition of more weight to the "motor"or a smaller weight on the pulleyat the back.Stage 3, Planet Tiros, was sponsoredby VandenBerg Custom and AdvancedPerformance Shooting. Thisstage experience left shooters as befuddledas if they'd been on anotherplanet. Competitors found this coursedeceptively simple as they tried to figureout where each of the 10 paper targetsshould be engaged through thedizzying array of 18 tire-ringed ports,since many targets were visible throughmultiple ports. Shooters were overheardsaying "What's up, doc?" (orsomething that sounded like that)while trying to figure out how to shootthis stage. David Elderton ended thematch on this stage with a good run,enabling his first-place finish in Limited10.As you approached Stage 4, Root'nToot'n Yosemite, you could almosthear Yosemite Sam yelling "racknfracknrassafrassn#$%@$!" in frustrationover this devious stage, sponsored byBigham Machine Shop and Hot Shots.This stage was a straightforward runand-gunstage...sort of. Opening thedoor activated a horizontal swingerwith three targets all moving back andforth, left and right, in-between andbehind three hard cover targets. Just tomake it interesting, one stationary targetwas placed at the end. All target,'were engaged through a port on theleft a few steps into the doorway. Aftergetting past the swingers, shootersfound another port presented mulfiplesteel plates, including one that had tobe engaged through a steel IPSC targetwith the A-zone cut out, making ahardcover "donut" to shoot through.Naturally-, that target activated a beartrap. But wait, there's more! Leavingthe hallway, shooters charged a lowwall with targets behind and below,and a narrow port that exposed multiplePepper poppers, stacked one behindthe other.Stage 5, Saving the Day, was sponsoredby The Bulletworks and ClarkCustom Guns and was another versionof "Did I shoot that target already?"Even Mighty Mouse couldn't save theday for some who ended up with acombination of misses and double-engagedtargets.

ter the phone booth, there were twoports with paper and steel to engage,and a long run downrange to engagethree paper targets around a wall.Most shooters ended up shooting thelast array with one hand, hanging ontothe wall with the other as they leanedout as far as possible to engage the finaltarget from a difficult angle.Stephanie Hough. Came in second lady behind Renee Tyson.BEEP! BEEP! Leck's Guns andMontana Gold sponsored Stage 7, theonly "hoser stage" for the match. Sixteentargets were scattered all over atight maze of barricades, walls and barrels.Schuemann Barrels sponsoredStage 8, Fancy Funeral Anyone?, whichoffered a little of everything - a door,poppers, swingers, high ports, windows,low ports, tight shots and hosing.This was another field course thatfeatured a mix of shooting challenges,Top woman Renee Tyson managed tosuccessfully navigate to her best finishon this stage and ran away with theladies' title for the match. Not surprisingly,she said this was her favoritestage of the match because "It had themost variety of any stage - different positions,shooting on the move, steel,[and a] well-designed swinging target."Stage 9, Flag Day Bugs, was sponsoredby Green Mountain Sports andwas another deceptively difficult stage.If Beep-Beep was the hoser stage, thisone was the precision stage. Shootershad to engage most of the targets fromtwo stairstep platforms, with one targetonly visible through a low "tent" inthe middle of the range. The symmetricalstage required poppers to be shotcross-range from the platforms, andeach popper activated a doubleswinger that emerged from hard cover.Those swingers accounted for half thepoints in the stage. This low roundcount stage was full of difficult shotsand had the lowest high hit factor forthe match, as shooters waited on multipleexposures of the dual swingers.All shooters shot some stages onFriday, Saturday, and Sunday, and thematch ran ahead of schedule for thefirst two days. Mother Nature cooperated,providing beautiful sunnyweather, and saved the big thunderstormfor Saturday night after most ofthe shooting was complete.

AWLALL NIGHTRADIORE'VIEW BY/ERRY BURNETT, TY-18486move over Kinsey Milhone,there's a new girlon the block and hername is Kashi Cannon.Michael Bane, author of 14 nonfictionbooks, has finally published anovel. This is the first of a series of"Kashi and Anna Mysteries," and it's apage turner.Kashi is a competitive IPSCshooter, an ex-criminal lawyer, andowner of a firearms training school on40 acres south of Nashville. She is eitherthe "Most Dangerous Woman InAmerica," or "The Fastest Girly-Girl InThe United States," depending onwhich magazine you read.Life is not always one-dimensionalwhen you're Kashi Cannon.Kashi's partner, Anna, is an ex-SWAT sniper. Sexy, unlikely to sufferfools gladly, think of her asCher with a black leatherjacket and a Barrett's .50cal.Kashi and Anna havebeen hired by Susan S.Smith, press agent for countrymusic artist Clive Carr,to guard the very-valuablebody of the great man whowas once described by SPINmagazine as "a thumb wearinga cowboy hat."Kashi's less thanthrilled. She's a trainer, nota bodyguard. This isn'tsomething they "do."

quickly becomes even less one-dimensional.Along the way members of Clive'sepically dysfunctional family mix withsome "Real Bad Guys" lurking not-soquietlyin the background. These badguys are the kind whom James Pattersondescribes as "... we're not badguys; we're much worst than that."They provide the book with some rawand vicious chapters, and while the sexand violence isn't as gratuitous as itseems at first, it's made even moreshocking in contrast to the good humorand earnest efforts of the GoodGuys, er ... Girls, er ... Women. Whatever.Bane's antagonists are definedmore in the style of Stephen Hunterwhose bete noir novels seem to haveprovided a model. For example,Kashi's magazine-assigned title as "TheMost Dangerous Woman In America"is a subtle reference to "The Most DangerousMan In America" a.k.a "BobThe Nailer," from Hunter's "Point ofImpact." While Hunter's Bob Swaggeris among the finest rifle marksmen inthe world, Kashi Cannon's expertise inpractical pistol provides another roughparallel between the two heroic figures.Kashi's figure is, presumably, themore appealing of the two.Fast-paced action and usually likeablecharacters, with a dash of STI raceguns, keep the interest high. At first,it's difficult to accept Mr. Bane's styleof portraying a female protagonist inthe first-person voice, but it doesn'ttake long to become so enchanted thatit is easy to suspend disbelief. This isthe epitome of the novelist's craft, andit's handled very well here.Is there a higher moral message beingdelivered here, perhaps hiddenmessages? Only if you consider that a.44 Magnum might be a more appropriatesniper rifle for Urban SWATTeam usage than a .308. The occasionalnew idea like this adds technicalspice to the already rich Bane's brew.As a special attraction to IPSC people,several of the characters are basedon real people whose names we mightrecognize. One favorite example isUncle Walt, the retired CIA spook. Youmight recognize a certain southerngunsmith as well.Mr. Bane keeps the pace up untilit's impossible to ignore that book sittingon the nightstand. I was late towork one morning, having made themistake of grabbing for the book insteadmy trousers after hitting thesnooze alarm. No problem, I only hadone more chapter to read, and I wasn'tabout to put the book down until I finishedit! Perhaps this is why he chosethe title "All Night Radio?"The sequel, "Five To Go," shoulddebut in December 2003. I've read theprologue and first chapter, and I can'twait until it's finished so I can read therest. Spend the money, buy the firstbook, encourage the author.

Brim SCOL: I I EN, A-49019There is no question the industrywas surprised whenMichael Voigt released thenews at this year's SHOTShow that our new TV gun show -Shooting USA - will have exclusiverights to broadcast all four USPSA NationalChampionships on OLN — theOutdoor Life Network.In the time it took for the press releaseto circulate on the show floor,there was grumbling and even a few ofconspiracy theories circulating, thatthis decision by the marketing subcommitteeof the USPSA board of directorsmust have some dark motive(especially since the coverage of lastyear's Factory Gun Nationals OnAmerican Shooter had been disap-USPSA TV Deal More ThanEntertainmentpointing and just flat wrong in reportingthe facts).That disappointing show, writtenby a producer who has never attendeda USPSA match, was the disaster I hadbeen expecting ever since the companythat produced American Shooter for10 years was taken over by a Frenchmulti-national corporation. It was theresult of accountants making decisionsabout television production and assignments.And that's the reason I leftthe company to form a new productioncompany, staffed with the best photographers,editors, and producers fromthe best years of American Shooter.That's why we have a new name for theshow — Shooting USA. We don't ownthe rights to the name "AmericanShooter," but we do have the right peopleto restore the tradition of accuratereporting of the shooting sports.That's what you may expect to see laterShoot Mort. r Las!NO/tea- C0/77?

Theyknow not to cross the shooter's 180,not to get into his peripheral vision,not to distract when a pro is "in thezone." We know when to ask for an interview,and when to wait. It was 11years ago that Nyle Leatham, the veteranstill photographer and father ofthe IPSC world champion, took us underhis wing to explain what we couldand could not do with our video cameras.It was my view this year that thenational match range officers shouldnot be trying to manage a large groupof novice video operators, and theUSPSA marketing committee agreed.So you'll only see our guys at thematches with video cameras.The Best Action, Explained ForNon-Members:You may expect to see the best ofthe action as the national titles are wonthis season, but don't expect to see astage-by-stage chronology of "whoshot-what-when."To a considerableextent, you who are USPSA memberswill be the secondary audience for ourreports.

The range staff has RO's withnationals and world shoot experienceand a grand-master-level stars crew.You can test your skills against yourneighbor or against the best in theworld, and if you don't live up to yourexpectations there is even a pond withan alligator that you can jump in.

think that leaving the dot on for the entire match will solvethe problem, but I have wimessed several shooters over theyears who have had their "dot" die midway through a stage.Let's also not forget the people who don't turn their dot offat the end of competition, only to discover that fact at thenext match. You can usually spot them running to the vendor'stent or looking like a homeless person going from competitorto competitor asking for spare batteries.Another favorite are the shooters who recently havegone over to the dark side and entertain us with the "Opengun wobble." These misguided few have a hard time findingthe dot, so they wobble the gun around trying to find it.rr 1 rjwww.getirip.comHOGUEcan ilIDI VOLIP dedler80043R-4747 or 80i 239,1440 lax 3305.239 2553PO Km 1138 Paso Roble..

At least,that was the plan. It seems in the heat of!he moment, one of the first competitorsslammed his hand on his pistol and whenlie fired his first shot, the magazine, all 19rounds of it, dropped out of the gun.This in itself was not funny, not until thenext guy did the same thing and so didthe next. The next person in our squadwas very careful to not repeat the errorsof our squad mates, so we then felt welearned our lesson. Apparently the nexttwo competitors had not. In the end sixof eight people in our squad had releasedthe magazine when retrieving their pistolon this stage. Thankfully, since I'm lefthanded,I wasn't one of them.Technology Strikes Back 4: WhenSimple Parts FailHigh-capacity magazines were developedspecifically for our sport. Today, weregularly see 18-20 round Limited pistolsand 27-29 round Open pistols. However,it seems that in our march to maximizemagazine capacity we have startedto minimize several of the parts. Smallerfollowers and thinner magazine baseplates have permitted us to add one ortwo extra rounds, but removed materialthat holds the parts together. I'm startingto see more and more self-unloadingmagazines. You've probably seen a few ofthese wonderful inventions being used.They work like this. During the middle38FRONT SIGHT • May/June 2003

of a course of fire, you insert the self-unloading magazineinto your pistol. This immediately disengagesthe magazine base plate removing the spring and allammunition loaded in the magazine in less than oncsecond! Unfortunately, this usually triggers one ofthose "brain on the floor" moments. I've watched afew competitors forget to remove the empry magazinebody from the pistol and forcefully insert the toppart of the incoming magazine into the bottom partof the empty, creating two very un-usable magazines.Hey,where is my Dot?PROBLEMDShow Them You're Canadian!Since I'm Canadian, I see many of my fellowCanadian shooters on both sides of the border. InCanada, we are limited to 10-round magazines.Some of my fellow shooters have made variousarrangements to have a set of high capacity magazinesavailable for competing in America.Now the first thing you will notice about shootingwith Canadians is that we do not make standingreloads. The general rule is, if you're moving, you're reloading.As a Limited-10 competitor, I have never had tomodify my shooting style when I travel to shoot USPSAmatches, but some of my fellow Canadians have not been solucky. A few years ago at the USPSA Limited Nationals wewere on a squad that was primarily Canadian. This stage inquestion consisted of 11 rounds. My high-capacity Canadiansquad mates were not planning to reload since they had19 rounds at their disposal.Well, we were all surprised to see one of the first high capacityCanadians reload to finish the stage.

High Capacity Canadians WithLow-Capacity ProgrammingWhen you have high capacity magazines,you figure you would shoot justlike everyone else, right? That could betrue if you loaded the magazines withmore than 10 rounds. I have watchedseveral of my fellow Canadians competingin USPSA matches over theyears charge up to a bank of targets,blazing away, then move to the nextbank and fire two or three rounds andstop because they only loaded 10rounds into in the 20+ round magazine!From a safe distance I have beenable to see them looking at their pistolthinking something is wrong, and inseveral instances, trying to drop theslide on an empty magazine and pullthe trigger to get back to shooting.Eventually, even we Canadians will realizethat the pistol is empty, then reloadand continue with the course offire. My favorite is the shooter whoonly loads ten rounds in his high-capacitymagazine then loads the lastwhole-bunch-a-rounds just before it'shis time to shoot. The only problem isthey often forget to top up. Of coursethey're now one round short, and youknow what happens next.Pro-Gripping Your AmmoCompetitors who shoot in the summerknow that your hands sweat andget slippery. To keep our hands dry weuse chalk, dirt, and this neat stuff in abottle called Pro Grip. Pro Grip is greatbecause it goes on like a liquid and thendries on your hand almost immediately.You get a solid grip and can shootbetter because of it. The one thing youshould never do is load your magazinesjust after applying it to your hands.One of my squad mates at a recentmatch noticed his rounds were a littlesticky in his magazine. They wouldn'tfeed and stuck down at the bottom ofthe magazine. Even when slapping themagazine they refused to move. Hedisassembled his magazine and discoveredall his rounds stuck together like abunch of grapes!The Joys Of LocktiteNow we all have that nasty littlescrew that refuses to remain tight. Youknow, that one that comes loose at themost inopportune time? For situationslike that, someone invented Locktite.Several years ago I was attendingthe AWARE Invitational and happenedto meet a couple of guys who had justfinished the match.

Nowthe wonderful thing about indoor clubs is that they havea nice solid floor. Now the bad thing about an indoor clubis that they have a solid floor. I stepped on the magazine andslipped and landed upside down on n-iy back. I managed to controlthe firearm so the muzzle never left the backstop. I pickedmyself up, then finished the course of fire. When I returned backup range and to the scene of the crime I noticed that a "chalk outline"of my body had been drawn on the floor where I fell.So as you can see IPSC is a serious sport with some seriouslyfunny people.

B eep! thwack, thwack...thwack-thwack... grunt...thwack-thwack... Beep!" Finallyyou managed to get thatlast pair of shots through the low portbefore the PAR time signal! Your momentof glory is interrupted by a knockon the garage door followed quickly byyour spouse asking, "Are you done inhere? The garbage needs to go out, thedog wants his dinner, and I need to dosome laundry."No, it's not a weird dream indby too much barbecue sauce. This hasbeen happening a lot lately — eversince you got that AirsoftQuality Airsoft replica pistols thatmimic the feel and operation of theirreal-life counterparts are becoming importantparts of the modern shooter'stool box. If you are like me at all, youhave a day job, a family, and other commitmentsthat limit how often you canget to the range. You also find dry firing,well, a bit dry. With so manythings wanting your attention, it's hardfor dry fire practicing to make it up thelist – there's always more ammo toload.An Airsoft pistol can change allthat. Now instead of hearing the smallclick of dry firing during which youconvince yourself that you had thesights aligned before you pulled thetrigger, you hear a small puff of air followedby the "thwack" of a small plasticpellet striking the target and theslide cycles, ready to go again. You'llknow whether or not the sights werereally lined up – no more kidding yourself.And most importantly, practicecan be done conveniently at home andis a huge amount of fun.BackgroundAn Airsoft gun, as the name implies,uses a small blast of air to force alightweight, 6mm plastic ball down thegun barrel, typically at speeds around200 feet per second (the 20 rounds Iput through the chronograph were allbetween 194 FPS and 210 FPS). Someguns add "hop-up" capability which isnothing more than a little back spin appliedto the ball as it leaves the barrel.Typically, a patch of rubber or otherfriction surface will be placed on theupper side of the chamber to cause theback spin. Theoretically, the spin canhelp the projectile fly a little straighterand perhaps a little farther. Someproviders claim it is of limited value asit doesn't affect the BB until later in itsflight — well beyond the limits of yourgarage.Cover the red spot with your thumb, then try to tellthese two guns apart. Ellingsworth reports the replica's slideis just slightly wider, causing trouble with traditional holsters— lever holsters like the Ghost or Arredondo shouldn't notice.The gunsconie inspring powered,gaspowered,and electricpoweredversions.Spring poweredonesneed to becocked everytime so theyare hardlybetter thandry firingyour normalfirearm. Theelectric onestend to befull auto andare morecommonlyused for paintball. Many electric replicasare modeled after machine guns.These may be a lot of fun, but theywon't improve your IPSC shooting.The gas powered guns tend to besemi-automatic and many provide"blow back" action to cycle the slide,increasing the realism. Operatingmuch like the real thing, as the slidemoves forward, it strips a BB from themagazine and pushes it into the chamberfor the next shot. If you are shoppingfor a realistic practice gun, rnakesure that it is identified as a Gas Blow-Back (GBB) model.According to a widely circulatedand repeated (and hopefully accurate)account, Airsoft guns were originallyavailable on the U.S. market more than20 years ago. They were marketed byDaisy (who called them SoftAir guns)as a recreational version of the BB gun.Where many BB and pellet gun userswere interested in hunting applications,Airsoft users were consideredpurely recreational shooters. The Airsoftgun with its large plastic BB andlower muzzle velocity was the ultimatein a safe, yet quite serviceable plinkinggun.For whatever reasons, they didn'treally catch on back then. One theoryis that a spate of shootings of kids hold-May/June 2003 • FRONT SIGHT 43

ing SoftAir guns made Daisy shy awayfrom the market. Nonetheless, developmentcontinued and the guns improvedover several generations of development,largely overseas. Advancesin manufacturing and the advent ofpolymer technologies brought aboutnew levels of detail, durability and reliability.In countries where firearms arebanned or strictly limited, Airsoftreplica guns provide the only pistolshooting sports action available. TatsuyaSakai, a Japanese competitor,practices all year using Airsoft guns andthen borrows a real firearm to competein the Steel Challenge held in Piru,Calif. In two of the last three years hehas finished second overall, beatingmany accomplished IPSC shooters, despitebeing restricted to Airsoft practicefor nearly the entire year.So you'll have a hard time claimingthat Airsoft practice won't work foryou.Getting StartedFirst and foremost, Airsoft guns arenot toys and if you aren't careful youcan still get hurt.

tion, keep away from unsupervised children and untrainedpersons, etc. Start with safety. Follow the safety and operatinginstructions that come with your gun.Even with the federally mandated orange markingsaround the muzzle, I keep mine locked in the trunk when Itravel and locked in the safe at home. They are good replicasin many cases and most people won't be able to tell, soif you are waving it around indiscriminately where theneighbors can see, expect the police to visit.Then you need a gun that suits your needs. Many areavailable at gun shows or there are many sources on the Internetfrom which to purchase (see table at end of this article).The GLOCK replica I use was purchased at a gun showand the 1911 replica is a Caspian licensed version that wasprovided by Specialized Distribution of San Diego, Calif.,(wwvv.Airsoftsd.com ). Many major firearms makes are representedby an Airsoft replica.Expect to pay anywhere from $60 (what I paid for theGLOCK) to something short of $300 depending on themodel, level of detail, quality, and licensing. The Caspian licensedsingle stack model, which lists for $150, is nicely detailedand is largely made of metal parts. Caspian even sellsit on its web site. STI and SV both license copies of some oftheir models as well. In some cases, parts of the Airsoft gunare the same as the real thing. While I didn't find any withred dot sights, there's no reason you couldn't install them.For the most part, the similarities of the replicas to theirreal counterparts outnumber the differences. They look andfeel much like the real thing, the primary difference beingtheir weight distribution. Because they don't have heavymetal barrels, they are balanced more to the rear than thereal thing. They also weigh less overall. A real GLOCK 17Latte' cups and paperplates?

In actualshooting Ididn't reallynotice Ormind. Whenthe timer goesBEEP and thesights come up,it's just shooting.itMulti-function mags. Each magazineholds both the ammunition, andthe propellant source. They're heavierthan they look, and a bit fragile.In some dimensions,the replicas aren't quite enough like their realcounterparts. I couldn't find a standard scabbard style holsterthat would fit either gun exactly right. The KWCCLOCK replica's slide is a few hundredths wider than thereal thing so it didn't fit any holster I had. The Caspianreplica mostly fit into a Blade-Tech holster, though it didn'tseat all the way. The Caspian worked without any adjustmentsin a CR Speed 2000 race holster. You may not be ableto use your favorite holster with your Airsoft purchase. Ifthis is important to you, take your holster to the gun showor store or make sure that the mail order house you use hasa return policy.Unlike the magazine in a conventional firearm, theAirsoft magazine is a dual purpose component. Itholds the BBs in a single stack under spring pressureand it also houses the gas reservoir and the gas releasesystem. To load the magazine with BBs, you pull backthe spring and drop or pour them in. To charge thegas reservoir, hold the magazine and gas canister upsidedown, then mate the nozzle on the canister andthe receptacle on the magazine. Press the canister towardsthe magazine to move gas from the canister tothe magazine. Most of the instructions indicate youshould do this is several three second long spurtsrather than a single transfer. When gas starts to comeback out, the magazine is full. I was able to reliablyshoot two magazine's worth of BBs on a full reservoir,though I typically gas up whenever I add BBs.The "Green Gas" used with Airsoft guns is a Freon"substitute that contains an atomized lubricant. Dependingon the brand and where you buy it, it runsfrom $12 to $20 per 1000m1 canister. You can typicallyshoot around 2000 rounds per canister. It is importantto use the specially made gas as the atomizedFRONT SIGHT • May/June 2003

silicone lubricants it contains help keep the gun runningproperly. The gas is considered a hazardous substance forshipping purposes and is generally not available for expeditedshipping. BBs are pretty cheap as well, particularly ifyou order the bulk bags, with prices running about $2.0 forup to 5000. If you shop carefully, you'll pay about a pennya shot even if you don't reuse the BBs. You'll want to get atleast one of the easy-pour containers of BBs as it makes loadingthe magazines much easier.Field TestingI tested the accuracy of the Airsoft guns byshooting rested groups at several distances. Ieven took them to the range one day and shotthem side-by-side against their real versions.While the Airsoft accuracy wasn't terrible, youcan't do useful bullseye practice with them. Thegroups aren't nearly as tight as a real firearmand they are prone to fliers. That said, at 7yards or less, you can reliably hit the A-zone onthe target. Unless you have a very large, unclutteredgarage, your Airsoft gun is likely to beplenty accurate enough for the stages you canset up.I also tried a variety of simple drills: shootingfrom either side of a barricade, a Bill Drill,"drawing" from a table, moving forward orbackward, and moving laterally. Other than thegroup sizes, it just felt like shooting. Lateralmovement did create some horizontally strungoutgroups as the low speed of the Airsoft BB allowedit to be influenced by the vector of mymovement.By the way, the triggers work pretty well. Ifyou have tuned up your gun's trigger, it is probablybetter than the Airsoft trigger. If you areusing a stock trigger, the Airsoft trigger maywell be better.On my test guns, the replica triggerwas lighter than the stock triggers of similarguns, though not as nice as a gunsmith can doon a real gun. Both of the guns tested had triggerswith a noticeable reset point so you can dorealistic trigger control practice. Because theguns are reasonably accurate, you'll know if youare jerking the trigger. I didn't want to takemine apart (just in case I couldn't get it back together),so I can't comment on whether a gunsmithcould improve the trigger.Because the Airsoft magazines are somewhatdifferent in shape and size from real ones, theydon't fit standard magazine carriers very welland I found little value in practicing reloadingwith them, For that matter, I bobbled a reloadwhile testing and dropped the Caspian's magazine.Being top heavy, it struck the cement floornose first, bending one of the metal lips, and the Caspianhasn't shot reliably since. have to replace the magazineto get it back in the game. That said, if it works for you, gofor it.Because most of the ranges I shoot at tear down all thestages at the end of the match, so there isn't really much ofa chance to practice the sorts of things vou run into at aGarage 1PSC continued on page 50New Range Officers, Dec.

OPINION:VirEBY ROBIN TAYLORA s one of the as-sistant editors hereat Front Sight, I work insort of editorial crow'sIleSt, sloshing back and forth with thewaves of fortune, reporting on changes in theweather, and watching the seas ahead asour ship of state churns forward. Idon't get to steer the ship, but I callattention to various things, occasionallyscreaming "Land Ho!" overthings like 3-gun competition.During my first year here in the crow's nest, I wrote aneditorial about the sorry state of sportsmanship in USPSA titled"I have met the enemy, and it is us." Greg Lent followedup with an article about cheating in USPSA, and since thenwe have endured some pretty low moments.For several years, USPSA's culture has mirrored the largerworld of sports. It has its heroes, but it also has the twistedinfluences of men like John McEnroe. We don't have directcorrelations with horrors like Mike Tyson or Dennis Rodman,but we have seen violent displays of temper, and playedhost to some bizarre characters. Those last are needle-in-ahaystackevents, but when you think back on sports historyin general vis-a-vis sportsmanship, it's been a long time sinceSimon and Garfunkel lamented, "Where have you gone, JoeDiMaggio? . . ."As grim as the national sports scene has been, USPSA hashad its triumphs. Individual sportsmanship has caught afresh wind and tacked its way back onto the USPSA horizonover the last year or two, occasionally on a grand scale.Greg Lent and I compared notes over sushi at the RaceGun last year, where he took the opportunity- to tell me yetagain how cheating at the chrono has all but disappeared. Atthe time I wasn't seeing the Clintonesque behavior that oncetypified the word "gamesman" as much either, but I wrote itoff to my limited travel schedule in 2002. The next day I hadmy head down over my cameras photographing Jerry Barnhart,when I noticed he and the ROs having an animatedconference. As Barnhart (yes Barnhart) was explaining to theR0s, he had accidentally touched off his first round early,blowing a hole in the hard-packed sand nor much over sixfeet from his feet. Thanks to the way the course was set up,no one saw him fire the shot (though some saw the roundimpact), and yet here was Barnhart, with visions of the 1997"squirrel incident" still swimming in his head, essentially offeringto disqualify- . . . himself! Having not seen the shotthemselves, the range officers politely declined.tkelcoJO&kje,t,,44444. ,9;:jdLater that week USPSA's executivemanager Dave Thomasbumped into me and said "Didyou hear about David Sevignyback at the Factory Gun?""No, what happened?""He insisted on a reshoot because his time waswrong. He said it was too FAST. When was the last time youheard of someone doing that?"Later during the Race Gun, Michael Voigtburned down the "Killer Tomatoes" stage, finishingright behind the all-but-unstoppable Rob Leatham. Aftersigning his scorecard and sitting down, one of his squadmatestold him that one of his shots had actually passedthrough the hard cover, but was overlooked by the ROs.Voigt should have received the miss. Voigt got out of hischair, found RO Andy Stanford, and demanded the scorecardbe changed to reflect the miss.I don't want to give rhe impression that poor sportsmanshiphas disappeared (one doesn't have to look far todisprove THAT), but there are shooters among us that aresetting a higher standard, and they deserve to be recognizedfor it.When people ask me about what the best sportsoftdshooters are like, I've often said they are like 1940s baseballstars. TFiey aren't always like that, but most unconsciouslyadopt that humble, self-effacing attitude you see shiningthrough those old World Series newsreels. Travis Tomasie isthat way 24/7.At the Race Gun this year two serious contenders wentout of their way to claim the penalties they earned, riskingthe prestige and sponsorship dollars that often follows a nationaltitle. Factory Gun added at least one more.Not long after watching Barnhart volunteering to fall onhis sword at a national championship for an infraction noneof the officials saw, I found myself at a match watching ashooter weaseling his way out of an accidental discharge. Itinvolved significant coloring of the truth by the shooter. (Example:"Yes, the hole is WAY over there in the wail, and Ishot all alphas for the rest of the course, but I just, uh,missed. Yeah, that's right, I missed. Prove I didn't miss!")Reflecting on the self-sacrificing actions of Barnhart, Sevigny,and Voigt, I confess I breathed to myself, "How cheapyour honor, dirtbag?"To Sevigny, Barnhart, and Voigt, I say vvelcomehome, Joe DiMaggio.48 FRONT SIGHT • May/June 2003Ent

INSIDEUSPSA continued from page 3.mitment from many individuals overseveral months. USPSA has a representativeon every committee, so we havebeen able to provide input and also tohear what is needed in other parts ofthe world first hand. USPSA committeemembers are: Michael Voigt (overallrules chairman), John Amidon (coordinatingand tournament), Bruce Gary(handgun), Troy McManus (rifle) andArnie Christianson (shotgun). If youhave input for any discipline, pleasecontact these men.Other committee members arefrom across the globe. We have shooters,match directors, range masters andstats personnel. Committee memberswere nominated by regional directorsand accepted by coordinating committeemembers. All members were advisedthey would need to commit to activelyparticipate in rule discussions, attendan in-person meeting in Orlandoprior to the SHOT Show and wouldgenerally be worked hard, lose familyand business time, and do it ali for nopay. The one thing these men shouldget is your suggestions, support in theirdifficult task and our gratitude. I wouidlike to say THANK YOU! to all of therule committee members!Part of the agreement with this rulecommittee is that President Nick Alexakoshas rescinded his veto power oversubmitted rules and the 1PSC President'sCouncil has rescinded theirpower to change rules submitted by therules committee. The committees inshort have been asked to come up withrules, submit them to the IPSC President'sCouncil for approval on the GAagenda, but without Council influence— huge change from the historic wayour rules have made it to a voting motion!Thank you, IPSC, for your trust!The handgun rules have been givensome great updates in the areas thathave been needed for several years. Wewere also able to address areas thathave been without guidance for sometime. While the handgun rules were inneed of updates, they were also insome respects the easiest rules to workwith as they get the most use, inspectionand recommendations.Shotgun rules were given a greatdeal of input from the United Kingdom.They have been shooting 1PSCshotgun for many years, and due to losingtheir handgun privileges, shoot atremendous amount of shotgun thesedays.Rifle rules have been amazing!There is a huge difference in the way riflesare used for IPSC competition indifferent parts of the world; this was byfar the most challenging discipline towork through. Some regions shootpredominately one shot per target atranges seldom under 100 meters, whileothers shoot two shots per target andcourses seldom have a target over 50meters!

Dravvingfrom the race holster and using thePAR time on the timer, I was able to dowhat felt like real practice. The BBsleave real marks in the targets so it iseasy to tell what your score is.

Everything YouWanted In A .45,No,BY ROBIN TAYLOR, USPSA STAFFit's not a beer commercial.Take a .45 ACP case,cut it back by almost .15inch, and what do you get?A full-fledged .45 in the 9mm/.40S&W's overall length.What's the point? With that shortformatcartridge in hand, it's a shortleap to wedging a .45 ACP look-alikeinto a 9mm/.40 S&V■7 sized gun. Accordingto their sales representatives,Glock is hoping to create a "new paradigmin defensive pistols" with the .45Glock. If the Glock 37 can live up tosuch heady press, they may succeed.ft's not about smaller cartridges,it's about smaller gunsihe new Glock 37 in the .45 Glockcartridge looks and feels like a Glock22 — perhaps the most popular law enforcementautoloader ever built — onlyit offers 10+1 rounds of the .45 ACP'stime-proven terminal ballistics.With the possible exception of the.357 Sig cartridge, "there's no big rushtoward smaller diameter projectiles,"says Glock's Chris Edwards. "Practicalexperience now from the war on terrorismhas people wanting .45's."'The large girth of the Glock 21 hastraditionally been a barrier to sales, butthe new Glock 37 should offer the performanceof the 21 without the sizeand weight. Magazine capacity stops at10 rounds instead of 13 thanks to thenarrower magazine, but going to a 10-rounder avoids the potential hassles oflaw enforcement only magazines.And LessGlock Re-Invents The .45 ACPPhoto courtesy of Glock, Inc.We're all familiar with the light, reliable,Glock 22, the .40 SEAN versionof the famous Glock 17 shownabove. Imagine this gun chamberedin .45 ACP (using shorter-than-standardcases), and you have a goodpicture of the new Glock 37.The new pistols should hit the marketin May, following some reliabilitytweaking."We have no issues with FMJ's, butwe will soon exceed the FBI standardof less than one stoppage every 2,000rounds with hollow point ammunition,"says Edwards.CCl/Speer already has two loads out —a 200 grainer at a little over 950fps,and a 185 that comes in at around1030. Other firms are expected to offerammunition shortly. Is there a futurefor this gun in USPSA/IPSC? It alldepends on whether the cartridge takesoff. Assuming Glock produces 2,000units this year, the gun should becomeeligible for Production Division competitionstarting in May of 2004.MOEUSPSA continued from page 49.meeting until 4 a.m.!Wednesday was the IPSC President'sCouncil meeting.

.,..- 11110By Ron AverykiNi'...:;:.psarr 2r• 1 @ai )1 tom3.sti-.1... -, • ■Physical Training for Shooting,Part 2In part one, vve dealt with somecore concepts of body awareness andcentering while shooting. In part two,we are going to expand on these concepts.In order to reach higher levels ofcontrol and precision, we must learn torelax more of rhe body and isolate tensionto only those areas of the bodythat need to be tense. This allows thebody and mind to flow and allows theexecution of skills without interruption.Relaxing the body and isolatingtension while performing skills such asrunning, while shooting fast shots upclose, while moving, reloading etc. isdifficult to do under pressure. Manyshooters remark to me about how wellthey shoot in practice and then howpoorly they just shot in a match. This isa partially a result of not being able tomaintain the mental and physical relaxationthey had in practice in thestressful environment of a match.Let's get to work on some thingsthat you can put into use right now thatwill help your march performancetremendously.isolation Exercise 1On the range, put up an IPSC targetand set it up approximately 7-10yards downrange. Draw a 3"-4" circleon the target with paint or magicmarker. Now, facing downrange andmaking sure your gun is unloaded, getinto your shooting grip and stance.Keep your sights on the dot.Take a deep breath and have thefeeling of relaxing your whole body.You should be able to see your sightssinking down off the dot as your musclesrelax onto your skeleton. Feel yourshoulders sinking as they relax. Payparticular attention to the area aroundthe diaphragm, as this is a commonarea of tension.Now take a loaded gun, go throughthe relaxation process, and, keepingtension only in your grip, fire a shot onthe dot. Pay very close attention towhat happened in your body. Did youtighten up your shoulders? How aboutthe diaphragm area? Neck? Back? Tricepsand biceps? Repeat this exercise10 times as a warm-up.Isolation Exercise #2Following the same format as before,fire three shots on the dot, spacedapproximately a half second apart andcounting one and rwo and three. Monitoryour body closely at the end of thethird shot, holding the position. Howmuch extra tension did you put intoyour stance? Work on keeping the tensionin your hands, wrists and forearmsand relaxing the rest of your body.A rule of thumb: The tension youput into your grip will automaticallyset a bit of tension in your upper arms,shoulders and back muscles. You donot need to add extra tension in theseareas.Exercise #3Unload the gun and, facing the target,keep the gun in a two-hand hold atthe approximate level of where youwould bring your hands together if youwere to clap them together. As youraise the gun to the dot, tighten yourgrip, wrists and forearms while keepingthe rest of your body relaxed. Holdthe position and monitor tension.Now, using an electronic timer, startdoing this exercise with a par time.Start with three seconds and workdown to one second, each time stayingrelaxed as you execute and only ten-Avery'scornersioning hands, wrist and foruarms.Now, load the gun and repeat theexercise, this time firing a shot on thetarget. Monitor tension in your bodyeach time you fire a shot and work onrelaxing more and more of your body.After you are comfortable with oneshot, start doing two shots at a time.Exercise #4it )ou remember the cup of waterdrill froni part 1, we are going to startdoing a shooting drill with it.Set up three targets, a yard apartedge to edge at 10 yards.Make sure the gun is unloaded andhold it at the handclap position. Now,as you bring it onto the target, startcounting, one-one thousand, two-onethousand, three-one thousand, untilyou get to six-one thousand. Each timeyou say one, two, three etc. simulatefiring a shot. The first two will be onthe first target, the third will be on thenext target as will the fourth and soforth.Really work on staying relaxed atthe diaphragm while you transitionfrom target to target. This is wheremost people tense up.Now, load the gun and do this sameexercise while live firing and counting.As you get better with it, startshooting it right to left as well as left toright. You can speed it up by going toone and two and three or even one,two, three.The object of this exercise is to keepyou relaxed while moving from targetto target and not throwing the gunover but placing it lightly on each target.52 FRONT SIGHT • May'Jurie 2003

Exercise 5Now you can practice drawing thegun and only tightening your hands,wrists and forearms while performingone shot, two shot and multiple targetdrills. Work on keeping the shouldersrelaxed while drawing.Exercise 6Set up a shooting box 7 yards fromthe three target array. Move back a stepand a half from the edge of the box.Make sure the gun is unloaded andhold it at the handclap. Take a step tothe edge of the box with one foot and,as you cross into the box, bring the gunup on target without tightening yourbody as you are moving forward. Letthe gun settle into the A zone withoutyou bouncing it. If you do it correctly,it will settle softly without bouncingaround. Think of carrying that cup ofwater into the box as you are moving.Try not to spill it.Now back up3 -5 steps andwork on this drill.Focus on runningUpcoming RO Classes:05/03/0305/17/03- 05/04/03- 05/18/0305/31/03 - 06/01/03with the diaphragm relaxed.Exercise 7: Triangle drillsSet up three boxes, two at 7 yardswhich are 5 yards apart and one at 15yards which splits the distance betweenthe first two boxes. This will form a triangle,hence the name of the drill.In front of each box at 7 yards, setup an array of three targets.Starting at the 15 yard box, draw tothe array on the left and engage thethree targets with two shots each.Move to the 7 yard array and repeatthe engagement. Then move to thenext box and finish. Check your timerand record your times for your drawsand your splits. Check your transitiontimes from box to box. Make note ofthe distance between boxes. Also makenote of your precision and dispersionof your hits. If you are shooting relaxedRO SNOWFLAKE, AZ Dennis OpheimRO GONZALES, LA Lloyd LandryRO RAMSEY, NJGeorge Joneswith proper trigger manipulation, theshots will stay close to one another andnot be scattered around the target.For learning how to isolate tensionbetter, monitor your tension in yourbody as you are moving, shooting, reloadingetc. The goal is to decrease tensionthroughout the body. Practice thisin local matches to learn this relaxationresponse under increasing stress loads.You can vary this particular exerciseby putting in a barricade or awkwardposition at any point, doing reloads betweenboxes, shooting on the move betweenboxes or whatever your imaginationcan conjure up.

In the last issue, President Voigttold you about the passing of Iry Stone II. While it isimpossible for Front Sight to talk about all who leaveus, three recent passings of note have been brought toour attentionLong-time USPSA member Charlie Funk passedaway February 17. Charlie was best known as the developerof the DOS-based EZScore match scoring program,which was adopted by the association in the late80s. Although he refused to work in the Windows environmentfor several years, he eventually relented.The result was the now-standard EZWin-Score program used by most USPSA clubs.For many years, Charlie served as theNortheast Section Coordinator and thematch director for the ill-fated 1998 Area 7Championship match. (The event had to becancelled due to torrential rain that turnedthe range into a large swimming pool.)He attended the first two SC Workshopsand spoke to both groups about the earlydays of USPSA, before there were areas,when the Section Coordinators governedthe association. At one of those events hedisplayed a photograph that showed himselfas an early 20-year old standing withJeff Cooper as Cooper taught a class.Connie Burch, Section Coordinator inWestern Pennsylvania for many years, recentlylost her long battle with cancer. Conniealso attended one of the SC Workshopsand, despite being sick enough that she hadto bring a nurse companion for help, wastmfaiiingly cheerful and fun to be around.She is one of those people about whom onenever heard a negative comment.Bob McGarey, another former SectionOpen Grand MastersGoettel, Robert J.Higdon, GlennOpen MastersDevine, LonnieJacobe, Ken ASchioidan, KimWoodford, RaymundTY17959A38083TY40193TY40656FY44055A24603Limited Grand MastersJacobe, Ken A.Sherman, Roger ACoordinator, also served as a NROI instructor.

Nonetheless,we did under-recognize the Juniors.From the IPSC website:Open JuniorCalculating AveragesA reader contacted us last monthwith a question about how one wouldcalculate their world team selectionpoints if they had missed a match.In our January issue, we explainedthat world team selection points arebased on the following formula:Your best qualifying NationalChampionship score from the two calendaryears prior to the world shootmultiplied by 2, plus the average ofyour best two area match scores forthe year two years prior to the worldshoot, plus the average of your besttwo area match scores for the yearprior to the world shoot.The Board Meeting minutes publishedin the March issue explain this1.

Howwould they generate an average score?Answer: Add the two scores together(one score, and one zero) andaverage them (divide by two). Alternately,one could add the two scorestogether (one score, and one zero) andmultiply by .500.

On rainy match days the targetswear their raincoats of plastic drycleaning bags which everyone hates.The bags help for a while but the targetsstill get wet from the taping andtheir heads start bending low. The bagsusually end up torn so the targets canbe taped easier. This allows the targetsto get wet all that much quicker. Wethands make for a wet bag which in turnmakes the target wet.

I am assumingthere was difference in the cardboard.The next day as we set up thestages we left an IDPA target out in therain. The water beaded up on it so wedecided to go without the bags. Weslanted the targets slightly forward sothe rain did not hit the front of the targets.This worked out fairly well. Thepasters worked better than tape. TheIDPA targets held up better than theIPSC targets. We were thinking abouttaping the edges of the targets to keepthe rain from going between the layersof the cardboard.Give this a try on a few targets nexttime.

Maybeit's because I'm a lefty, but I don't findany of the disadvantages he listed withmy SAR 2 (AK-74 in 5.45mm).The safety only takes one hand. Ihit it with my right thumb and slide theright hand ahead to the forestock.I find reloads easier than with theAR. Hit the release with the edge of thefresh mag and just roll it in. Note thatthe AK system uses a latch; the topround in the mag doesn't bear againstthe bolt. No need to rap the bottom ofthe mag, and a full one seats as easily asan empty. This system also improvesbolt speed and cycling reliability.Clunky scope set up ? The SARcomes with a neat side rail. The red dotCobra sight clamps on and off easilywith no loss of zero. Accuracy-wise, theSAR is no half-minute rifle, but it allowshead shots at 100 yards, and that'sall you need for 3-gun.I own an AR, a Mini-14, and I'vetried the Mech Tech, but on rifle/shotgunnight I pull the "epitome of an evilassault weapon" out of the safe.Warren Rosen, 7Y-315141514Loss of Bob McGarey L-it is our unfortunate duty to informthe IPSC community of the death ofBob McGarey, Monday, Feb. 24, 2003after an unsuccessful fight with cancer.Bob was a charter member and pastpresident of the Capitol PracticalShooters League as well as a USPSArangemaster and instructor.
