The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
Para has pretty much completed their move to North Carolina by this point, so I wanted to stop by, and talk to Kerby Smith, who arranged the whole thing with Todd Jarrett at Blackwater for us last year, and see which of their products they were excited about this year. This year they are touting … Continue reading “A Stop by The ParaUSA Booth”
The Army’s new green training rounds carry with it a cancer risk because of the tungsten. They’ve stopped production. Maybe they should go talk to Dan Smith of ICC, who’s ammo we shot last summer at Blackwater with Todd Jarrett. That stuff is non-toxic sintered copper and tin, and it worked well.
Mr. Completely’s e-postal match this month was a bear. Difficult to shoot with a rimfire pistol, and even harder to shoot with a 1911. If you take the size of Mr. C’s stop plate, and project it out to the 42 feet it would be for the Steel Challenge course, it would only be two … Continue reading “Smoke ’em & Hope”
I have finally completed my pin collection for Thursday night indoor metallic silhouette with rifle. I have gotten pigs and rams and chickens a few times over, come close to turkeys a few times, but last week finally got 10 of them: I am starting my collection for pistol now, since I got ten chickens … Continue reading “Completed Pin Collection”
Downrange TV has their coverage of our weekend at Blackwater with Todd Jarrett.
Joe Huffman has his impressions of the training we went through last weekend with Todd Jarrett. Joe has had a good bit more training than I have. Before this, I had only taken basic pistol.
Todd Jarrett has made me a better Silhouette shooter. Tonight was our thursday airgun match. I started out on chickens, doing about what I normally do, got into pigs, and then noticed I was moving the gun when I pulled the trigger. I then remembered Todd saying “You have to increase your grip strength by … Continue reading “AAA Silhouette”
I have never been a huge fan of laser sights. Mostly because I’m a bit of a traditionalist, and believe that getting a clear sight picture on your target needs to be something instinctive, and it’s how folks should train. When I found out our Para 1911s were going to be equipped with Crimson Trace … Continue reading “Teaching With Laser Grips”
Para and Todd Jarrett demonstrated the new TTR system, short for Tactical Target Rifle, slated for release in 2009. Quite simply, it is made of awesome. For an op-rod driven AR, the thing has no recoil. It’s literally like shooting an airsoft gun. Recoil on a 10/22 is greater. An AR that shoots well that … Continue reading “Para TTR AR-15”
Our time at Blackwater is at an end. I am back in the hotel at Norfolk, Virginia. I still have a few more posts to do on the experience, but I definitely want to send out a few really big thank yous for helping put this together: Kerby Smith, Director of Communications for ParaUSA, who … Continue reading “All Good Things Must End”
