The PowerFactor Show

I have a lot of catching up to do first, only watched 3 episodes. The one on 22 practice, intro to steel challenge, and the one on strong hand/weak hand stance. All were excellent and I practiced some of what I learned yesterday on the strong/weak hand shooting yesterday at the range. It did make a difference:)
 
In the next few weeks, we'll have part two of Match DQs, an episode on prepping for Steel Challenge, and an interview with USPSA President Phil Strader. Thanks for watching.
 
Episode 102 - Match DQs (Part Two)
The boys are back together for a two part episode on Match Disqualifications. The shooting sport is divided into two groups, those that have been DQed and those that will be. It is something that happens very rarely but when it does, can cause a person so much grief. Hear all the horror stories Rick, Larry, Caleb and Steve have to share about match DQs, both from their perspective and from having doled out the penalty.

Episode 103 - Interview with Phil Strader, President USPSA
Every year, the USPSA office in Burlington, WA hosts a Christmas party where they invite local USPSA members to visit their offices and celebrate the holidays, with lots of food, beer and wine. If you remember, Rick and Steve were at the party last year to interview Dave Thomas (Episode 53), the now outgoing executive director of USPSA.

This year, we're lucky enough that Phil Strader, the new President who took over the reins from Michael Voigt early this year, flew in to attend the party. Naturally, we jumped at the chance to get him on the show.

In fact, if we continue to get support, we will be recording at least another 52 episodes, so keep the emails, comments and donations coming.

Our sincere thanks to all our loyal viewers and to the sponsors Rainier Ballistics, Hodgdon Powders, Safariland and JPL Precision.

Changed my grip style slightly last time at the range due to one of the episodes and really tightened up my groups on double taps and got better with transitions. Thanks a bunch!
 
Episode 111 - Gun Control and Competition Shooting
There's a lot of craziness these days that's happening in the United States politics pertaining to gun control. Rick and Larry spends some time to talk about the impact it could have on the competition shooting and what it would mean to your beloved sport if the anti-gun advocates get their way.

Episode 112 - Being a Lefty
Rick is a lefty as most of you would have known already. That together with decades of competition shooting experience, gives him a unique perspective to discuss the considerations and limitations of being a left-handed individual in a sport that's primarily dominated by right-handedness.

Episode 113 - Sporting Clays
Sporting Clays is akin to the sport of golf or as many would say, IPSC for Shotguns. "Stage" designs are variable and the sport is very fun to shoot. Steve and John meet up with Dave Jefferey and a bunch of great people at the Granite Falls Sportsmen's Club, to take us on a tour of what a typical Sporting Clay match looks like.

Episode 114 - Scholastic Steel Challenge
SSC provides the opportunity for young adults aged 12 to 20 to participate in the exciting and challenging family sport of “speed steel," and do so in a supportive environment taught by trained and supportive adult coaches focusing on the safe handling and use of handguns.

SSC's competitive format is based on the Steel Challenge, the nation's most successful handgun competition. We have adapted the format to provide a safe yet action packed competition, one that both neophyte and experienced shooters will enjoy.

Rick and Larry head to the first sanctioned Steel Challenge match held at the Renton Fish and Game Club recently to give it a go.
