Here is an interesting set of quick video tips that should help almost any shooter do a bit better next match.  I’m not sure who the shooter is in the video.

USPSA Area 1 Results

Category: Match Results, Photos/VideosKen N. @ 8:41 pm

Area 1 is complete.  Jeff did very well – winning Limited A overall. Congrats!  Ken N. had a good Saturday and weak Sunday just missing a 5th place in Limited B and a trophy.   We all then had good luck driving home and getting signed on to the National’s Limited Match wait list, with numbers low enough to be confident we will get a spot on the match.

Area 1 results can be seen here.

Here are videos of Ken N. and Jim M. for your enjoyment. These are stages 1 – 6, 7-12 will be uploaded later.

Off to USPSA Area 1 Championship

Category: CoolKen N. @ 3:29 pm

St. George shooters Jim Meade, Bryan Mortensen, Gary Powell, Jeff Bailey, Ken Nelson & Brian Nelson are off to the USPSA Area 1 Championship tomorrow and Friday.

Bryan M. starts Friday.  Jim, Gary, Jeff and Ken start Saturday. Brian N. nurses a damaged trigger finger and will just be bringing us cool drinks as well as following the super squad (hint – not us).

The weather looks good:

Here are the stages. They look pretty fun and will certainly be challenging.  Or maybe weak hand to an A zone only with Virginia scoring will prove easy.  I doubt it  (-:

I’m told the prize table is rich, but alas we have to enter it based on performance.

.22 Steel Match in Cedar City Thu evening

Category: AnnouncementsKen N. @ 8:15 pm

Brian and I are heading up to the ICAP .22 Steel Shoot this Thursday evening. We will leave at 4 because Chuck Nichols needs a hand setting it up since the folks that usually help him are on holiday.

If you wish to join us, just give me a call (435) 703-2897. We have room for 4 others. 

Equipment needed… .22 pistol, no holster, 100 rounds of .22 ammo (or so).  Having 4 magazines is helpful, but not required.  Optional… a .22 repeating rifle, time permitting they will shoot rifle stages.

Related travel news… Brian and I will shoot in Vegas on Sunday as a final tune-up for Area 1.   We have room for 4 others heading there as well.

Category: AnnouncementsKen N. @ 8:40 am

Just so you know… there are two action pistol clubs in Cedar City.

Iron County Action Shooters shoots .22 on the 1st and 3rd Thursday nights at 6pm.

Iron Springs Practical Shooters runs USPSA matches on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays.

Drex will be holding a USPSA match this Saturday in fact.  Brian and I have to go to LA for a funeral, so we won’t be attending, but here are directions and information so you can go get some shooting done!

Start time: 9AM
Setup time: 8AM

Directions to the match:

The range is located 13 1/2 miles north of Cedar City off hwy 130 (Minersville Hwy).  If coming from St. George, take the Love’s exit off the 15th in Enoch (just past Cedar). Turn left off the I-15, and follow Hwy 130 about 1/2 mile past mile marker 13, turn right, there will be a small modular office trailer and scale to mark the road you turn on.

The USPSA match is the pit on the right. The .22 match uses the one on the left of the road.
