If there is one aspect of USPSA Shooting that I love, it is angles. There is just something about leaning around obstacles, to line up the perfect shot, that gets my juices flowing.

While I don’t think the steel will cause much trouble for the average shooter, I think …

The latter option would have meant cutting it close and may have resulted in posting the show later than usual. As is my style, I opted to just wing it with disorganized show notes. Recording felt like a complete mess but when I watched the recording …
