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?

What’s Your Club’s Emergency Action Plan?
Guest Post by Mark Compton
Do you have one? Does everyone know it? Does everyone roll their eyes when you discuss it? When was the last time you did a test-run of the plan?
We all talk about safety. Muzzle Awareness. Plan of action in case of Fill in the Blank.
Our club found out firsthand that our EAP works. I don’t recommend finding out the same way though.

One of the biggest challenges for new competitors is figuring out what gear they need, what gear is legal, and which division they need to register for. NROI and USPSA have been working on getting that info out there in multiple places, but here is a handy guide that has the info and links to resources in one place.

Due to the change in venue for the former 4 Division Nationals, new staff applications have been produced. NOTE: If you are on staff already and do not have any changes, i.e. will work both matches, then DO NOTHING. Do not apply again. If, however, you can only work one or the other, email me, Troy McManus, at dnroi@uspsa.org, with the match your can work in the subject line and let me know. I will sort existing staff applications out. We will also provide the staff registration link to all accepted staff, but if you were in the match already, I believe Jake Martens has moved you. Please log in to Practiscore and check before emailing either one of us about your match entry. Here’s the link to the Nationals staff applications. Just log in to USPSA.org and select the match(es) you want to work. Carry Optics is overstaffed at present. More information will be provided to all accepted and standby applicants.
