Episode 83 - Sighting In Your Gun for Competition
Rick takes us back to the range for a long overdue episode about sighting in your gun for competition. Before heading out to shoot your match, you have to make sure that you gun is sighted in correctly for the distances that you'll be shooting at which is common for practical pistol competitions. Rick talks about the different types of sights that you'll find and how to sight them in correctly.

Episode 92 - Unload and Show Clear
If you've been shooting IDPA or USPSA for a while now, you must be used to this command. It's typically given at the end of your run in a stage to ensure that the gun is unloaded and cleared. Do you also realize that this is where you'll find the most dynamic and varied performances by the shooter? Everyone has their own way of making the gun clear. Rick and Larry discuss this and demonstrate some of the more common ones we've seen on the range.

Episode 95 - The Colt Tour, Part One
Steve had the privilege of visiting the old Colt factory in Hartford, CT and was given an in-depth tour of their new manufacturing facilities. To say that Steve was blown away by the skill and attention to detail of their staff is an understatement. We were very blessed to be able to tell this story to our viewers even if it's only through still photos.

was surprised to see this thread this morning. I just recently became re interested in IDPA and found the show on my own last night. Found it by searching for articles on the 22 for training idea, episode 22 or 23 if memory serves. Now I have bookmarked the entire utube series
