The “Southern Utah Pistol & Revolver” club is a “U.S. Practical Shooting Association” affiliated Practical Shooting club. Practical Shooting matches are primarily pistol matches however rifles and shotguns are sometimes used at special matches.
The Southern Utah Pistol & Revolver club holds matches on the 1st, 3rd and sometimes on the 5th Saturdays of the month at the “Southern Utah Shooting Sports Park” located adjacent to the “Washington County Regional Park” (Fair Grounds). Matches start at 9:00 A.M. in the Summer and 10:00 A.M. in the winter. Matches generally consist of 4 or 5 stages and require approximately 150 rounds to complete.

Jim and Jon will be away for this match, so it will be me, Brian and Bob trying to get things together. Help would be appreciated (-:
We will be using the Palm scoring now that I’ve found the scoring computer (dry and working – yippee!) after my unfortunate house watering incident.
Directions and stages can be found here.
The Shootmobile is heading north and south
Saturday:
I will be shooting in Cedar City with Drex’s club on Saturday. I plan to arrive there around 0900. Departure here… TBD. If folks tag along we generally meet up at St. Helens in Washington for breakfast and then carpool from there.
Sunday:
Sin City in Las Vegas is moving to Palm scoring, and I’ll be attending there to help them have a first successful use. It will be a 6 stage classifier match only.
Just e-mail or call me if you want to tag along either day. 435 703 2897 or kn@kennelson.com

Contact James for information.

As you may know, Nevada no longer accepts Utah CCW permits (because their law requires more shooting in the training than Utah requires).
So if you want to carry while in Mesquite or Vegas, then a class like this is necessary.
P.S. Wish I had a private range. (-:
Weapons Training School is offering an Advanced Concealed Firearms Training Course on 25 September at the SUPR range.
From their brochure:
So many of us possess a concealed permit, but how confident are you with your handgun? How would you react from a concealed carry? Why not invest in improving your skill and ability to really protect yourself and/or your family in a life-threatening situation. This course teaches effective, safe, and practical training in the use of a concealed firearm for self defense. This one-of-a-kind course goes beyond the lecture of CCW & actually provides 3 1/2 hours of hands-on methods of defending yourself against criminals. Don’t let “advanced” intimidate you from coming. This training is open to anyone who desires to improve their skills. Includes tactical handgun presentation, threat identification, moving in realistic dry-fire & live-fire training scenarios exclusive to carrying a concealed handgun. Conducted at the Southern Utah Shooting Sports Park Tactical Range. Hurry, limited space.
Date: 25 Sep, 2010
Cost: Only $75
Call (209) 532-6677 for info or to reserve a place.
Vegas, and “A” classifications or bust!
Sin City Shooters will hold a special 6 stage classifier only match on 29 August.
I plan on attending with my new Open gun, and possibly with a G34 to clean up my Production rating.
If you’d like to join me in Vegas, just e-mail or call. I’ve got room for 5 other shooters in the comfortably equipped Nelson Ford E-350 shooting van.
Note that young Brian will not be joining us, instead he will be in Washington D.C. raising political havoc with his Mom and Sister at the Glenn Beck 8/28 rally.

Since I don’t have a lot to say that the subject doesn’t, I’ll just include a picture. This is taken at JoJo Vidanes USPSA match in Norco, CA. I shot there as a break from when I drove back from San Diego . They have a fun setup, and believe in high round counts. They pull in 80 to 120 shooters every Saturday. Brian and I will be heading down there in September to tune up for Nationals. My brother lives a few miles from their range.
A rare photo of me, taken by my brother. Not a bad position, my left thumb is a little high, eventually it could get into the slide and cause a jam. I’ll watch for that. This was in CA, so I’m shooting a Glock 34 (9mm) with CA legal 10 round magazines. What a silly state. Too bad they have such nice weather.
Setup starts with loading trailers at the Sports Park at 7:30 AM. Last time, no one showed until 8:30. Simply put, that’s not good. If we have 3 to 4 people to load, we’ll be shooting before it’s too hot.
Load: 7:30 at the Sports Park.
SetUp: 8:15 at the Sheriff’s range.
Shooting: As soon as setup is complete (9:00-9:30)
Match: 73 Challenging rounds.
Stage 1: The Last Thing, 16 Rounds.
Stage 2: 30 Yard Standards, 18 Rounds.
Stage 3: Quickie, 8 Rounds
Stage 4: Wobbly, 24 Rounds
Stage 5: Classifier CM 03-02, "Six Chickens," 12 Rounds
