Dead Trees Don’t Always Make for Good Target Stands

In FirearmsTags Firearm, ShootingMarch 29, 2014Leave a comment Walt

Several years ago I got a call from a friend asking if I had the weekend free to head out to Central / Western Pennsylvania for ‘Man’s Weekend’. The event boiled down to a group of friends going out to hunting cabin on 550 acres. During the day we would work around the property. After a few hours of labor, we would hit the makeshift gun range and send lead flying down range. In the evening we would have a …

Ontelaunee USPSA: March 2014

In Firearms, USPSATags Firearms, Ontelaunee, Pistol, Shooting, USPSAMarch 25, 2014Leave a comment Walt

Earlier this year, news spread like wildfire that Sean and Joe Roberts were starting a USPSA Program at Ontelaunee Rod and Gun Club. Not only would the new program add variety to our general area, it would easily be the largest. Opening the season with a 10 Stage / 230+ Round Count Match seemed very ambitious. Not many clubs could pull off a match of this size, even if it weren’t their first. I’m happy to say that the match …

Southern Chester USPSA: August 2013

In Firearms, USPSATags Firearm, Pistol, Shooting, Southern Chester, USPSAAugust 22, 2013Leave a comment Walt

Have you ever set out to compete in an event, where final scores were not known immediately, and thought you bombed it? That was precisely what happened to me at the Southern Chester USPSA Match this past weekend. I’ve been in a bit of a slump as of late and after an atrocious score on a couple of stages, I expected to be in the bottom of the rankings for yet another month. Don’t get me wrong, I had some …

Shooting The Breeze Podcast: Episode 61

In UncategorizedTags Firearm, Podcast, Shooting, TalkMay 26, 2013Leave a comment Walt

Over the last couple episodes of the Shooting The Breeze Podcast, I’ve been talking about an upcoming format change. Among those changes was a decision to record Shooter Profiles of local shooters. First up for this new feature is the Angrypig Shooting Team. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kerry Woods, Jake Degenshein, and Sam Woods (Left to Right in the photo below) during the 2013 Burt Shaffer Memorial Sanctioned IDPA Match. I hope you enjoy the episode …

USPSA Stage: Son of a Bee Sting!

In Firearms, USPSATags Firearm, Match, Shooting, USPSAMay 23, 20132 Comments Walt

I’m probably going to regret this but if you are convinced you can make this work then go for it. If it works you get the credit, if not, you’re the goat. This isn’t the type of response to a USPSA Stage Design that instills confidence in the designer but, I was eager to test my idea and challenge shooters. A couple of weeks prior to the May 18th USPSA Match at Southern Chester, the Match Director sent me an …
