    How many USPSA shooters are XS11 riders?

    Just started shooting with one of the local clubs. Man this is fun. I'm going to a big shoot at the Sir Walter Gun Club in Raleigh NC today. This will be a seven stage match with 4 of the stages being classifiers. I'll put 150 rounds down range today. One of the reasons this game is better than golf is that I can put all my gear on the back of the 11 and ride it to the match. Can't do that with Golf. Check out the wbe site

    miss this activity ..

    Yup ... that's fun, alright. I've put the website in my favorites. There used to be an indoor range (The Range) in Manitou Spgs., Co back in the day. Many of my co-workers then were into Practical Pistol Shooting and, being a military vet, it came pretty natural to me.

    Haven't been on a range since those days .... but you're right, it's a ton of excitement and who knows when it may be useful. I'm reminded of the incident that occurred a few months back at that church in C. Spgs where a civilian woman on Sunday morning service security duty took out some f----n' nut case who entered the church with a gun and mal intent having just killed some others in Denver hours earlier. Still have the Gold Cup National Match too .... only gets occasional outdoor use these days.

      I haven't shot a USPSA match. I have shot IDPA, that was fun. I shoot SASS cowboy matches. Shot one today. There is more places to shoot cowboy around than anything else.

        I had my Gold Cup out last Sunday. We go to an indoor range, and usually go through about 50 rounds each. I will be out of action for a little while, though. I had a part break in the trigger group, and it's ONLY used on the Gold Cup! I hope to have it back from the smith in a few weeks!!

          Interesting that you should mention that, Ray. My little brother had mine out looking it over a few months back. While cycling the action, he pointed out some weird sloppiness in the reciever. Hmmmm ...... I need to check it out closer, I guess.
