Shooting Championships Day 3--Sometimes Cowboys Cry...

The third day of the USPSA shooting championsips allowed me to watch a solid squad take on a state in which knocking down a steel Pepper Popper started a pair of targets swinging.

By the way, you can watch full-screen by clicking the little symbol below the lower right-hand corner of the video image.

This is still a sport that is much more fun to do than to watch...

Another day at the United States Practical Shooting Association Championships

My family and friends know that I am a 77-year-old who never grew up and still itches to go out and do this kind of shooting.

The first course is a quick little exercise that tests your ability to make a plan and carry it out under pressure.

The second stage we'll watch has a bit longer distances and a couple of steel targets toward the end which can ruin your entire day if you take them too quickly.Note that this shooter definitely slows down to hit those two steel plates.

Finally, here's a little sprint course in which you can go down either side of the barricade. This shooter did it in the way most did. A smooth run.
 See how easy all this is?
