February 15, 2024 by Jodi Humann

I can hardly believe that we have been producing this blog for five years, but in February 2019 we set up this website and started releasing blog posts. Let’s look at some of our stats for the past 5 years!

Plates and major matches

February 1, 2024 by Jodi Humann

In 2023, there was a change in the rules as to the legality of using steel plates in upper level USPSA Competition matches. Most Area and National matches already avoided using steel plates to minimize reshoots to ensure the match stayed on schedule, so most competitors probably didn’t even notice the change. But we wanted to quiz our rules aficionados and see if they noticed the change in the January Question of the Month.

January 4, 2024 by Jodi Humann

Okay, the December Question of the Month posed an unusual situation, but something that could happen at a match. During a course of fire, a competitor’s belt comes loose and falls off with a loaded and holstered handgun. As the RO, what is your call?

Does your club host Multigun matches?

December 21, 2023 by Jodi Humann

I am trying to build a list of clubs and match directors who hold multigun, 2-gun, or even shotgun- or rifle-only matches. Since we don’t have a mechanism to upload multigun scores to the USPSA website, we really don’t have a way to reach out and ask questions to those clubs. Even if your club hosts multigun matches and you don’t use USPSA rules, I am looking for input.

Fixed Time Fun

December 7, 2023 by Jodi Humann

For the November Question of the Month we posed a question about penalties for a Fixed Time Speed Shoot. Why? Because we know everyone can use a bit more practice with Fixed Time penalties.

Chronograph comparison

November 30, 2023 by Jodi Humann

As with any sport, the more involved you get with it, the more gear and gizmos you invest in. Many competitors eventually start loading their own ammo and if you have ever worked up a new load for a new firearm, caliber, or powder you know that having a chronograph is a handy tool. But which gives the best readings?
