We'll also be hosting an Air Rifle/Pistol, Free Pistol, Sport Pistol, & Centerfire pistol match the weekend of March 16-17. See below for more information. We look forward to seeing everyone there! http://www.t...

Greg, I can only speak for the 2003/2004 Nationals... but the past two years FP finals have been held around in the noon-2p window, with awards given out within 15 minutes of finals completing. For 2005, it appears pistol isn't competing for 50m range time with rifle so scheduling should be more pre...

I received an MS Excel spreadsheet of the 3x Air Results (all events) from USA Shooting after emailng them last week asking about it.

I can email anyone a copy who wants one.

Just email me at mc@harrisfish.com.

Found this article recently. It was written by Lones Wigger, apparently in April of 1997. Amazing what has, and hasn't changed in the last 7 years. Maybe this can spawn some more discussion in light of the recent topics about: growing the sport, participation at major matches, winning more medals on...

TCAnthony: I just read that as well in USA Shooting News that the Championship of the Americas team would be comprised entirely of juniors this time. That is a departure from how they did it last time and from what they published earlier this year as the official selection process. But, I think it's...

Looks like the dates for 2005 Nationals are finalized:

At 8 days total, it appears they _did_ compress the schedule in some way.

I guess we'll have to wait and see exactly how.

He didn't say. But I didn't ask about it specifically either.

Coach Luzov responded to my email about this today.

He says:
3x Air will be held at the OTC Jan 19-24, 2005.
There will be no Spring or Fall Selection Matches in 2005
The Championship of the Americas team will be selected at the National Championships

I also got a ticket at the March match but Phil said to give it to him and he'd take care of it. As best as I know he got it taken care of. In that case, he had approved parking permits, they just hadn't arrived by match day. I think typically Phil does get the permits in time, that month being one ...

Saw it wasn't yet posted on the USA Shooting website so I'll post it here. There's a PTO in Austin next weekend at the University of Texas ROTC range.

Mr. Ragay,

Just got the official word from Tim Conrad of USA Shooting. Apparently shooters must fire 3 Olympic courses of fire PER 12 MONTH PERIOD, NOT PER QUARTER. Hope this helps. --Matt -------- [Tim's Response] We documented this about a year ago in USA Shooting News, but have not said much about it since....

Steve,

The methodology is described in the article below:

I see you're not listed in the National Rankings. From what I've heard/seen, there are a number of people not showing up for some reason who should be.

Here's more info on the Dallas Pistol Club and the Airgun program there. DPC website - http://www.dallaspistolclub.com There's also an airgun league, almost year-round, at the Haltom City Rifle and Pistol Club. Don Strickland can probably provide more information. You can get Don's contact informati...
