Brian & I shot a USPSA match in Las Vegas this Sunday.   As we fought our way south against hefty winds, we were wondering “is this a good idea???”…. but it turned out okay.

Yes, the wind howled early on, but the Vegas match director, Keith Wright, called an excellent audible and designed a fun, steel only, unsanctioned and FREE match on a piece of scratch paper in the equipment conex.

Steel only runs quicker and doesn’t blow over in the wind. Good call Keith!

We did have one paper stage, the shoot house.  You started in the middle of the house, shot forward, then had to move backwards, exit the front door and work up the right side of the house.  The stage had about 5 opportunities for 180s.  I ran 5 shooters through it and most came really close. One, though, spun the wrong way to back out of the house and the muzzle hit about 210. I had him stop, unload and show clear, and our squad leader DQ’d him.

And then the story gets good…

Mark, an airman at Nellis AFB,  grabbed the clipboard and scored the rest of our match.  Way to go Mark – that is the right attitude!

BTW: If shooting doesn’t take up your weekends, Mark has a hobby to consider. AutoCross. I’d never heard of it, but it sounds fun.
