Why we do it.

Different guy. I'm thinking of one that's a highly regarded deputy sheriff on the training division of a metro agency in MN.

The one I'm quoting is Steve Anderson the GrandMaster USPSA shooter.

.....I had been shooting through a wooden frame that was painted florescent orange and had gotten the gun up against the top of the frame during recoil and it had slowed the slide down enough to cause the spend case to not eject properly.......

It's difficult to resist the impulse to crowd things like ports and barricades. Better to stand back a step and -- although still maintaining cover -- engage the targets as they appear while keeping the gun clear of any obstacles.

Steve Anderson is one fast and accurate shooter. This is his fastest ever El Prez 3.69sec with 10 alphas and 2 charlies. Simply amazing his open gun sounds like a machinegun!

Dayam ! ! !

But hey, he forgot to pick up his mag!

From the Brian Enos Forums. I thought this was damn cool. Some 'gamers' gave back. James Gill doesn't let the fact that he's has one eye and one leg keep him from shooting/competing.

Semper Fi James Gill!

Keep on Rockin'!

I wanted to share a video of what happened at our local club this weekend. We have a USPSA shooter that is also a Marine that was injured in the Iraq war - his name is James Gill - He comes to many matches in the area and shoots very well - you never hear him complain that with one leg one eye he is having a hard time - NO - he shoots outstanding and has a great attitude. One of Austin's shooters and club member here at the Bullet Hole - Huston LaClair decided that this young man deserved something more than our friendship since he gave up so much to protect our freedoms! Huston got together an impressive list of Company's to donate and discount products to help this shooter shoot open division - he really wanted to shoot open but was having a hard time getting the massive funds together at one time to get started. In the end - Huston was able to gather up a New Grandmaster from STI and Dave Dawson - Tuned and ready - Shooter Connection donated a top of the line range bag with mags and the CR Speed complete rig with holster - Dillion 550 loader and all the goodies needed to reload!! 2000 Brass from Starline and 4000 Bullets from Magnus bullets and Zero! There are so many other things given you will need to watch the video! - Remember - he had no idea this was going to happen! All of the clubs in the area donated to the event and I wanted to thank all of them and the great companies for doing something that can make us all proud to shoot this sport!!! THANKS!!!

He's shot the 'El Presidente' classifier http://www.uspsa.org/classifiers/99-11.pdf at 3 of these:




He had 10 A hits and 2 C hits.


Open guns are expected to be faster but that's still very incredible.

My fastest times were 7.61 sec with 12 A hits (clean) with a M&P9 in Production and 7.02 sec with 10 A hits and 2 C hits with my Limited gun (.40 STI widebody).
