I thought I'd separate this...

Shooting has really become one of my favorite hobbies over the last year and a half--and it occurs to me that on my regular pages, continual updates about my shooting matches might get old. Thus, I decided to start a different blog specifically with regard to shooting sports---rather along the lines of a continual training diary/commentary as I work on getting better and better at it.

So here we go. :)

I joined the USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association) about 1.5 years ago, and was initially classified as "B" class in the Production division of USPSA, which I achieved somewhen about this past July. My goal is to reach Master class sometime within the next 5-8 years. (Perhaps Grandmaster, but that really depends on how much time it takes for Master.) We'll see.

I'll probably move from Production to Limited class after I reach Master in Production, and stay there in Limited for some time. (And when my eyesight starts to go, I'll get into Open division, and use those handy red dot sites.) For an explanation of all of this stuff, go to the USPSA site and take a look around.

Currently, I shoot at the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club as part of the Eastern Nebraska Practical Shooters group. We have USPSA pistol, 3-Gun, and Steel Challenge matches (to the tune of about 23 matches per year) so there is always something to shoot at!

Anyway--more later. But this is where I'm starting!
