Update: Shooters united together work. This action was halted.
The Department of Defense, presumably acting on orders of the Obama administration, is stopping the sale of expended military brass to ammo manufacturers. This will dramatically reduce the ammo supply in the short term, and make ammo more expensive in the long term. It will also make the government less money because the empty cartridges will be turned into scrap brass rather than sold as higher value cartridges ready to clean/reload.
This is the time to mobilize and put a halt to back door strategies to make our sport and self-defense more expensive.

I have the complete set of Matt Burkett videos’. Brian & I have learned a lot from them.
The range from the basics (Practical Shooting Volumes 1-3), to How to Shoot Faster, and the most useful so far – How to Practice (Volume 7). Volume 7, the Practice one also includes training charts and dry fire drills in a PC readable PDF format.
If you want to borrow them, just e-mail Ken Nelson (kn@kennelson.com) and we can arrange a meet in town sometime.
I’ll also bring them to matches and make them available for return at the next match.
BTW:
http://www.mattburkett.com has tons of info and products for the practical shooter.

My son has been yakking at me non-stop about having a “single stack” option for IPSC and a CDP option for IDPA shooting. He did a ton of research and finally decided the Kimber Desert Warrior fit his desire for match quality performance + rugged “tactical” looks.
So we started hunting around on GunBroker.Com and in local shops. Sure enough Cedar Post Pawn in St. George had it an attractive price. And we walked home with the Kimber, a Kimber .22 conversion kit, and 1,000 rounds of Federal .45 ACP.
Initial Impressions: Very nice! It is quite accurate. It shot where I pointed it. And the crisp, light, trigger made tight groups a piece of cake at 10,15 and 25 yards. I’m talking “holes overlapping” at 10, and 2” freestyle at 25. No malfunctions.
We had no malfunctions in the first 100 rounds fired.

Thanks for coming out to the range and shooting it is real nice to have so many shooters at the range. With the larger numbers shooting we need to make a larger effort to be safe.
Safety – Take care of your firearm first, protect it at all times. after it is safe then pickup brass and mags. keep it pointed down range and level while unloading.
Targets – Are getting shot up faster(good thing). I still want to use targets as long as we can but each target should not be shot by more than 30 to 35 shooters Max. after that numbers of shooters targets should be replaced. Next match we will use all new targets and keep a better watch on the targets.
Stage instructions – I will try to make better stage instructions and there for have less problems on the range. I want to thank everyone for there help with this problem. Stages are subject to change up to the point that we start shooting. Everyone needs to shoot each stage in the same manor at that point.
Please continue to come out and shoot with us none of us get paid to put on a match so the only reward is to see a lot of people enjoying a day out at the range.
If you have any suggestions on improvements to our matches. if you have any stage ideas please let me know and we will use them. all USPSA rules will be applied.
Thanks,
Jim Meade
