This past weekend I shot my second USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association) match in Fairbanks. Shooters are required to analyze, draw, shoot, reload, and negotiate obstacles, and the clock doesn't stop until all of these have been accomplished. The match is strictly supervised and you must go through a safety orientation prior to competing. When it is your turn to negotiate the course you are under the watchful eyes of two Range Officers at all times. During the day we were blessed with rain, hail, and sunshine - you have to love Fairbanks in July! Also, I need to note that my son smoked the fun-house stage - a little over 18 seconds! The best time for that stage was shot by Bill who competes internationally and he came in at a little over 15 seconds. It took me that long to figure out where to stand!

Well, all I can say is...I'm jealous! Looks like you had fun. You are out doing exciting new things and I am here "embroidering" in Washington...doesn't seem fair, does it? Well, I'm glad for you, in any case. Hope all is well and it sounds like it is. Blessing on you. Lisa Smith
Burning gunpowder and Cutters, bacon and fresh eggs over a camp fire! Those are smells of home to an Alaskan! Good job shooting, Pastor Ted!
