Teaser…

By
August 31, 2010

We’re 9 months away from the 2011 Bianchi Cup in Columbia, MO.  I’m already thinking about it, because today I picked up the gun I’ll be shooting – this is a gun with history that ties in to my roots in the shooting sports and one of the legends in the competition shooting world. ...

Area 8 Revolver showdown

By
August 31, 2010

Walsh vs. Olhasso – battle of the roundguns!  It’s actually a pretty cool write-up from the guys at Ammoland.  Having shot one area match with a roundgun, I can say for absolute certainty that people who are willing to do a 300+ round match shooting double action the whole way are monster studs.  To...

Freedom Gun Works

One of the things I like to do here is highlight shops and companies that are dedicated to supporting the shooting sports.  One shop, in the fine state of Georgia is Freedom Gun Works.  In addition to sponsoring a shooting team, the Freedom Gun Works crew do custom work on pistols, including taking a...

The mutable shooting stance

While mostly irrelevant in the age of modern pistol shooting, occasionally you will see the debate pop up about modern isosceles vs. the Weaver stance.  In it you’ll get doctrinal adherents proclaiming the superiority of one particular stance over another; and I’ve even fallen prey to that debate on a couple of occasions myself. ...

Learn from my mistakes

By
August 30, 2010

So that you don’t have to make them. If you’re wondering what goes wrong in that video, the easy answer is “everything”. I’m shooting my Single Stack 1911, a heavily modified ParaUSA LTC in 9mm. The stage is simple, turn and draw and fire two shots at each target at 10 yards. Piece of...

Scope-lock

By
August 30, 2010

The phrase scope-lock is a military phrase that basically means “You’re getting all your info from one place and it’s screwing up how you think”.  Lately, I’ve noticed a version of that same tunnel vision or target fixation in myself.  I started actually noticing it with the post about the guys shooting the .500...

Let’s say, hypothetically that you’re at an indoor range trying to iron out some kinks in your pistol’s magazines.  Further, you’re next to a couple of guys who haven’t exactly impressed you with their attention to detail.  Just by chance, you notice a really long revolver barrel protruding from the booth next to you,...
