New F.A.S.T. Rules for 2012

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

As the Fundamentals Accuracy and Speed Test -- and the F.A.S.T. challenge coin -- become more well known, a need has arisen to clarify some things and establish some new rules to keep everything fair for all the folks who participate in official pistol-training.com events. "Concealment" will be defined as the ...

Competition: Minor Musings

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

Tuesday night, I shot a competition for the first time in a few years. It was the KSTG inaugural match. I was also the match director and watched almost every competitor shoot every stage. Some random thoughts: Night sights work better in the dark than black sights, even if you have ...

For those of you within striking distance of the NRA Range in Virginia, later this month we will be putting on a KSTG (Kinda Sorta Tactical Game) match. KSTG is a collaboration between SLG and me a few years ago to create a fun, objective pistol sport that we'd want ...

Just SHOOT

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pswt13GKb2k[/youtube] When Julie Golob told me last year that she was writing a book about shooting and the shooting sports, I honestly couldn't think of anyone more qualified. As this year has proven, no one shoots as many types of competition at such a high level of success as Julie. I've begged Julie ...

Monday, November 28th, 2011

When Jose G. earned his F.A.S.T. pin this past Saturday, our little gathering of shooters was made up of one F.A.S.T. coin holder (me) and three other guys on the Wall: Jose, Krasen Georgiev, and Joe S. Wanting to achieve more harmonious balance with the universe and apparently having some ...
