For the month of April I was given the task of designing a USPSA Stage to be used on the 50 Yard Rifle Range at Southern Chester Sportsman’s and Farmers’ Association. The objective was to design something that would fit on the specified range, be friendly to new shooters, and provide a challenge for the more seasoned shooters in the crowd. Just like previos stages, the stage you see down below is free to use. The only thing that I …

A couple of weeks ago I shot a Local USPSA Match at Lower Providence Rod and Gun Club. Shortly after that match I put together a post talking about a match disqualification that involved one of my squad-mates.

In my neighborhood we didn’t have a lot of parks or sports specific places to go. As a result, we played pretty much everything in parking lots. In the Spring and Summer we gathered in the old Core States Bank rear parking lot and played Stick Ball. In the late Summer and …
It is Tuesday once again and a new Episode of the Shooting The Breeze Podcast is hot of the press. This week, with the help of listeners/viewers, I have plenty of news and featured content to fill out the show. I got a little long winded towards the end and spent a significant amount of time discussing My Gun Database. On a side note, if you’ve got a dull weekend to fill out, I’ve got a great game for you. …
