By understanding the principles match directors use to build your course of fire, prop utilization, and what characteristics to look for when building your yearly schedule, your scores will improve quickly. We all know that shooting better scores is definitely more fun. Enjoy!
Joel sat down with the three candidates running for Area 3 Director to have a conversation about issues within USPSA and how they plan to make a difference if elected. The candidates were sent a questions list ahead of time, but they didn't know which of them were designated for answering each question first. At the end of the discussion, they were each asked a question specific to them that they were not allowed to prepare for. For reference, the questions list is below: Luke What qualifications do you have for being an Area Director? Do you feel personal shooting ability ties into being a good area director? Kevin You were all asked to describe the current culture of USPSA for your bio's. Knowing what you think of the current culture, how do you think you can change the culture to make it a more welcoming environment for new and current shooters? Scott The bans are a very hot topic. What behavior do you feel warrants a ban or suspension? What guidelines do you think should be established to endure bans are made objectively and not subjective to a board members feelings towards a particular member? Kevin What does transparency mean to you? When do you feel executive session is appropriate to use? Luke How do you plan to bring fiscal responsibility to the USPSA organization? Kevin If you had to pick one thing that needs to change about the organization, what would it be, and how would you plan to actually make that change a reality? Luke What changes, if any, have you made at your local matches that have been successful that you could implement on a bigger scale? Scott In regards to match staff, what plans, if any, do you have to revamp the RO program? What are your feelings about the current system for compensating RO's and do you feel it is adequate? Kevin How you feel about the rule set? What changes, if any, do you feel we need to make to equipment or division rules? How often do you feel they should be made? Scott Why do you, or don't you, feel it's important for the Area Director to be the Match Director at the Area match? Blind Questions: For Luke: Your campaign seems to be based on creating suveys to poll the members. How do you plan to handle decision making in board meetings if you don't have the ability to have members think for you in the moment? For Kevin: The bans and suspensions are a very hot topic. As someone that voted in favor of the bans, what was your thought process behind voting to ban the members and how do you think it reflects on the membership? For Scott: Most people see you as very agreeable and not polarizing in any way. I've had several members ask me privately if you are willing to have uncomfortable conversations and go against the flow if you don't agree with something, or if you will be a go along to get along guy. How would you respond to that?

Im doing it my way." Compete or get out right? Jeremy, Adam, and Gary weigh in with their thoughts and what they would change, didn't like, and other complaints or kudos. If you've never shot a Guardian match or been part of a match directed by Tyler, it's a must attend.

The Everyday Sniper Episode 235 Match Tips, FB Rants, War Machine Leather Very interesting episode here, I have to admit, I am a bit wound up. So I start out complaining about my Bose headphones and then drive right into a FB exchange regarding Mils and MOA. That was pretty comical, but we knew a Mil vs MOA discussion on Facebook would be a joke anyway. There are a bunch of nuggets hidden in the episode. The careful listener will find them if choose to listen carefully. I actually like the part about the Match Directors thinking outside the box and creating 2 signature stages for their events that really push the shooters. In my mind, every competition should have a signature stage or two that highlights what the Match Director brings to the table. It's what made the Sniper's Hide events so popular. I want to thank Seth from War Machine Leather Works for the iPhone Holsters. Awesome products for EDC. #snipershide #practicalmarksman #STAhungy #precisionrifletraining Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for commenting, even if it's just Free Comment Stay tuned for the 6GT Manners Stock and GAP Rifle combination, hitting the range soon.

It cannot rewrite history. It is our purpose to be just in our time." Rapid Fire Feedback iTunes Author: Atrixsaysfixthis Rating: ⭐⭐ Title: You’d think they’d improve after so many episodes. Review: I’m a fiscally conservative gun owning Canadian with a degree in the STEM field so I thought this podcast would be up my alley. Basically it’s a group of extremely beta Canadians submitting to their American daddy who calls in and leads them around by the ball sack. It’s a fact-free zone where opinions are based on poorly informed feelings. 2 stars because the gun talk is somewhat on point. Patreon Evy New subscriber here. Just wanted to say thank you Canadian news podcasts that are not left leaning are hard to come by, let alone a good one. Thank you for filling that void for us. Email From: Ron Subject: Trudeau & Tory Letter Message Body: Hey guys! Please read on air if you think this is worth while! Dear Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Tory, STOP! Stop slandering the 2.1 million firearms owners in Canada! Stop painting us as "the bad group"! It has been proven time and again we are not your problem! Stop being so naive! Stop ignoring the facts! Criminals are already not obeying your laws! What could possibly make you think they will start? We have heard a lot about gun control and the erroneous ideas that Bill C-71 or any further gun control measures would make us safer. But your government also introduced Bill C-75 that would allow a large number of indictable criminal offences to be tried as summary offences (read lower sentence or none at all). Things such as Section 357, which covers Bringing into Canada Property Obtained by Crime (read gun smuggling) and Section 467.11 (1) Participation in Activities of Criminal Organization (hmmm....oh yes gun smuggling). Of particular interest Section 83.18(1) which is Participation in Activity of Terrorist Group could also be punished as a summary offence!! All of these offences were indictable offences. Now your government is set to quietly turn these offences into hybrid offences, where the court could decide on a much lighter sentence than previously. So in summary, your government wishes to "clamp-down" on the law abiding firearm owning population, but "relax" it's hold on actual criminals and terrorists, who are smuggling and illegally using firearms! Perhaps Mr. Trudeau you could tell me how further harassment and restrictions through Bill C-71 or any other proposed firearms ban, on a population that is 6 times less likely to commit ANY criminal offence (licensed firearm owners), matched with a softer stance on criminals through Bill C-75, will make anyone safer. But I guarantee you cannot. Because it will not. In fact it will become less safe. When morally and ethically minded people are restricted from owning firearms and criminals receive lighter or no jail terms, crime will increase. Criminals 1; Us 0. Make a smart decision for Canadians; leave the 2.1 million legal firearms owners alone and properly concentrate on the criminal activities of criminals. Respectfully, Ron From Better Andrew Hey Guys! I was bored at work and decided to do some napkin math in between the multi-million dollar hourly sales I get and found out some info about carfentanil. It's used to sedate elephants, rhinos or other large animals. The average dose is 2.1 micro-grams per kilo, which works out to be 12,600 or 0.0126 grams for a 6,000 kg African bush elephant. That still leaves enough to properly dose over 3.3 million elephants. Talk about a wild party! Wish I could have been on the show for that, but that triple back-flip I did on my motorcycle didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it to. Anyways, I got to go, Jeff Bezos is calling me again for more computers.

2018 Goals. I'm writing it down here, throwing down the gauntlet for 2018: I will make USPSA Production Master before my birthday at the end of June. I refused to make this goal last year, but 2018 is the time to make it happen. You read it here first folks. What are your goals for 2018? How are you going to make them happen? What to do with junior shooters who don't help? This question came in from a long time listener who is noticing a trend of junior shooters who only shoot, and don't bother to help resetting and pasting and scoring. What should we do with them? I don't know, unfortunately. I do think that the shooting sports run on responsibility, and when people aren't helping, I don't think they're being responsible. What targets do you bring to the range for practice? Major asks what targets I bring to the range when I'm practicing. I have 3 target stands that I built with regular old 2x4's from Home Depot and a couple screws. All told, they cost me about $3 a piece, and they've been great. I have a few pieces of steel that are all mismatched that I picked up here and there, and if I could do it over again, I would buy a few pieces of steel that were all the same so I could set them up like a static plate rack, or move them around however I wanted. Right now, with all the different pieces of steel I've got, I can't do that. Bring real targets. Don't skimp on the paper (like paper paper, not cardboard), get real deal cardboard targets. Also, bring pasters. First Match: Russ in Pensacola sends in a voicemail about his first match... as a Match Director. That's awesome.
If you’re local to me, listen up. If you’re not local to me, just bear with me or skip ahead 30 seconds or so. At the end of the year I’m killing the Triangle Tactical competitive shooting calendar on the website. There are a couple of reasons for this: It costs more than a hundred bucks a year for the software to keep it running. Not a huge deal, but it’s a factor. The time to keep it running is substantial. I can’t seem to keep it accurate. Matches start and stop even when they’re super local to me, and I don’t find out about it, and I don’t want people to get sent to a match somewhere and not have there be a match that day. I received a good bit of feedback on last weeks podcast. A bunch of Match Directors contacting me saying “yes, Lucas, you’re almost exactly right!” So, I want to dig into this a little more in the near future. It’s basically the “off season”, or at least the slow season for most of the country right now and I think this is a good time of year for most matches to startt putting things in place to make changes if they need to, so I want to dig into this a bit more. Also, maybe I didn’t make it clear, but I don’t have any issue with for profit matches. I’m a big fan of free markets, and if someone can figure out a way to run good matches, keep shooters happy, and make some money, I’m all about it. Personally, I think getting paid a good salary to run matches would be a great way to avoid burnout on the behalf of the MD. If it were my full time gig to run matches, I think I could pull that off for a while without getting completely burned out. However, sometimes with a part time gig, you just get burned out to the point that you just don’t want to do it, even one more time. I used to literally get paid to shoot guns. Like, the coolest newest guns, as soon as they came out. Most of you are probably thinking that that sounds like a dream gig, and in the beginning it was. I named the rate that I wanted to get paid, and was given the new guns and a bunch of ammo, and sent off to the range to do my thing. However, after a while, shooting just became monotonous and boring. I’m still unbelievably appreciative of the company for thinking of me when they wanted someone to do this for them, but it just became a thing that I got tired of, and I think that’s exactly the same thing that Match Directors can go through. Because it’s a part time thing, and because it’s not a major source of income, it can just become monotonous over time, and you just dread it. I also received exactly 3 messages from concerned listeners, and one Match Director regarding another thing that I think is worth addressing: “Jersey Wearing Complainers” It was brought to my attention that there’ a certain type of shooter that MD’s absolutely hate, to the point that some of them will just walk away and never run another match, solely because of a couple shooters: the jersey wearing complainers. This is really interesting to me, because it’s something that I don’t see. I wear a jersey (with my own business on it, mostly so listeners can find me at matches, and partially to promote what I do) but I’m not representing anyone with it, but myself. I am Triangle Tactical, and it’s just me. But, I do frequently shoot with a bunch of other shooters who wear jerseys, and I don’t really see this. It sounds like the jersey wearing complainer has become a rampant thing in the shooting sports, and it’s something that needs to be addressed. I don’t have the answers, so I’ll just say this: If you’re a shooter, and you’re not impressed with a match, absolutely deliver your feedback to the Match Director, but do it in a way that’s actually constructive. If you’re idea of delivering feedback about a match to someone is to make anonymous forum posts, or just being a dick, don’t bother. I don’t know about you, but if I’m unhappy enough about something at a match, my goal is to improve that thing so that it can suck less in the future, or at the very least figure out why it was done that way, so I’ll at least have a little more understanding as to why it is the way it is. I think if you’re unhappy with something, you should absolutely bring it up to the MD. If you’re unhappy with it, chances are other shooters are unhappy with it as well, and if nobody says anything about it, it won’t improve, registration for the match will start to fall off, and the match might go away completely. On the flip side, if you’re a dick about it, the MD could throw his hands in the air and quit too. There’s a balance here. Just don’t be a dick.

With the US IPSC Nationals around the corner this episode Shannon talks with his good friend and Match Director extraordinaire Dave Jennkins on differences, likes, dislikes and importance or lack thereof of IPSC and the US IPSC Nationals.
Pete Rensing, Match Director of the 2016 Colt Multigun Nationals gives us a full breakdown of the match, the level of obsessive planning that goes into it,… The post 71: Embracing the Suck at Multigun Nationals With Pete Rensing first appeared on The 3-Gun Show.
The difference between a really good match, and an average match isn't a lot of super crazy, hard to do things. It's simple really, and in this episode we talk about a few of the things that set some matches apart from others. Matches should have clearly labelled safe areas. It doesn't matter if the game happening at the range requires it or not, take the time and setup a clearly labelled safe area. All you need is a table facing a berm somewhere, and something labeling it as the designated safe area. A lot of ranges in our area just have people holster up at their car, and that's just not preferable. Clearly written stage descriptions. Often, Range Officers will walk through all of the stages before the match with the Match Director and be told how the stages are to be shot. Then, maybe 3 or 4 hours later, they finally arrive at a stage and are expected to remember exactly how the stage was supposed to be shot. Was it a loaded table start or unloaded? I know I've cried foul a couple times when I've noticed the squad behind me shooting the stage differently than I did. Take a minute, and write out the stage descriptions for your match, it's not hard to do. The 180* boundary should be clear. This is more of a USPSA specific thing, as IDPA allows for the use of muzzle safe points (which I really like, good job IDPA). Some bays at different ranges don't have a backstop that's parallel to the 180*. In this case, doing something simple like setting up the rearmost fault line parallel to the 180* gives a reference point for shooters and Range Officers. Buddy System for New Shooters: Back when we had Ben Stoeger on the podcast he mentioned that ranges near him have a buddy system for new shooters, where newbies are assigned to an experienced shooter to help them and answer their questions during the match. I think it's a great idea, and I'm surprised the ranges around here don't do this. Have a clear procedure for what to do with brass. It's a little things, but I've given a lot of unimpressed glares to people when they start picking up "my" brass. I don't really care how you do it, but I think the best way is to tell everyone to leave the brass on the ground all day, and after the match, let them pick up brass from the bay they finish on. It's simple, and leave the brass for the people who stick around and help tear down, etc. Use Practiscore. For those who don't know, Practiscore is a match administration software that allows shooters to sign up for, and squad for an upcoming match ahead of time. It's fantastic for many reasons, I like it because it keeps the match from having too many people show up. Once the specified amount of shooters have showed up, the match is full and more people aren't able to sign up. It's also great because it eliminates having someone sit in a stats shack all day entering data, and it spits out scores really quickly and distributes them via email to the shooters. The News The Holly Springs, NC police department is setting up a couple parking spaces at their new police department for online commerce (craigslist sales, basically) but they're specifically not allowing people to sell firearms there. I think they're being a little weird about banning the sales but whatever. Strict scrutiny was applied to the Maryland assault weapons ban by judges in the 4th circuit this week. They overturned the AWB and the hi-capacity magazine ban. Awesome. Here's more from Andrew Branca over at Legal Insurrection. A VA man who was open carrying was robbed of his gun last week. He's lucky that the bad guys only took his gun and not his life. If you're going to open carry, get a retention holster. I like the Safariland ALS, it's the best thing going.
