Like most families, my wife and I are feeling the pressures of the current economy. Things like groceries, which we’ve never put a whole lot of thought into, are getting more expensive. When we decided to start living a healthier lifestyle, we were a bit surprised at how much fresh vegetables cost as opposed to [...]
In July of 2012, I shot my first IDPA Match at Lower Providence Rod and Gun Club. I enjoyed it and thought that it was a nice change of pace from the USPSA Matches that I had been shooting prior. When the USPSA Season geared down for the winter, I filled the holes in my [...]
A couple of weeks back there was a bit of a stir in the local IDPA scene. News broke that Guthsville Rod and Gun Club was canceling their IDPA Program and attendees were upset. The information being spread pointed to the Guthsville Board of Directors being behind the cancellation of the program. About a week [...]
As a member of both USPSA and IDPA, I am familiar with the websites of both organizations. While the USPSA Website could use a bit of improvement, it was leaps and bounds better than the old IDPA website. When I first heard that IDPA would be working with Range Log to overhaul the site, I [...]

I’m sure most people can relate and know the confused ‘deer in the headlights’ look that comes immediately after a sentence which includes ‘that match I’m shooting tomorrow’. I needed a system that would allow my wife and I to [...]
Yesterday I put together a blog post outlining what I did to Make USPSA Production Division B Class. The post focused mainly on my mental game and how I went about changing it throughout the USPSA Offseason. This post takes the original a bit further and breaks down each classifier stage. Once you are finished [...]
Last year I set a goal for myself. Before the 2012 season came to a close, I wanted to make USPSA Production Division B Class. I came close to reaching that goal but ultimately failed. I am convinced that the problem wasn’t that I lacked the skill, instead I think it was an issue with [...]
Sometime last week I was scrolling through my Facebook Timeline when I came across a status update by Dave Bair. Dave was concerned about IDPA Programs in Eastern Pennsylvania. As the Match Director for Ontelaunee IDPA, he has been hearing that some clubs are planning on slashing minimum round counts to ease the burden shooters [...]
