We are very fortunate to have Rick and Mike Foley. I don't agree with everything but I've been a member for 10 years and this is the first time I've felt we were moving forward instead of backwards or stagnant. Membership is growing. I get to complain about PCC and the ones that shoot it (has taken pressure off the open shooters). Life is good.
All is good at USPSA however I have lobbied with Merriam Webster as they got the definition of Practical wrong. [h=1]practical[/h] [FONT="]adjective
[/FONT][FONT="]prac·ti·cal[/FONT] [FONT="]| \ ˈprak-ti-kəl
\[/FONT]We all know it means terminator type holsters made from erector sets and sticks with a case of ammo shoved in them and another case in the mag holders. Guns have more millwork than a Amish wood shed. Electronic dots and gizmos bouncing around like crazy. Not being able to shoot until the beep. High fiving each other as the shooter takes a yardstick long rifle and doubletaps ( he shoots dead people) a static cardboard three feet in front of him. While we are at it we grind our sear down to 3 oz and wonder why it won't work. A typical regional match is now 300+ and easily over 10 stages in one long day of dawn to dusk or when your ass is dragging. Oh yes and the practical world only happens in linear fashion as nothing breaks the 180. Do not forget we get to spend money to do this and drive for hours on end standing around in makeshift gravel pits with ticks trying to suck us dry. But there is more...we know now why it isn't call practicalscore. You never really learn it complete, it is just one big practice on the tablet. Yep this is truly practical and I love it. Shooter ready????
