Here’s us VA Arms crew shooting the side match today. I wasn’t on my game on pistol today (3rd place) but did pretty well with rifle (1st place). Terry puts on a great match, if you live even kinda close and want to try USPSA competition come out and play. The Blackwater Practical Shooters web site is http://www.blackwateripsc.exis.net/. We traveled 4hrs each way from northern VA. We even had a pistol stage in the shoot house which was awesome.

Cool deal…what kind of gloves are you guys using?
These photos are like a kick in the balls. 
I was signed up, packed, and ready to go…until my wife dropped one kids B-day party and one softball game square in my lap.
M4arc and I did the August match.
Oakleys. I always wear on when shooting this rifle or my Benelli 3 gun shotgun. I’ve been burned before by both.
Where does Terry Bailado post the scores now?
The website shows the May 21st 2006 Steel Challenge as the last match there which we know isn’t true and the www.USPSA.com website isn’t showing them either.
Robb,
Thanks for sharing…when are we going to do some shooting? With the shop opening, I’m relagated to Sundays. IIRC, you are in the same boat.

Quantico Range 1 is closed until further notice. They’re likely going to be building up the dividing berm between R-1 and R-2 and make it go all the way to the end (it’s about 50yds short) since that Marine Lt got hit in the head by a bullet fragment while working the butts on R-2 (it came from Range 1).
Range 305 is now sometimes open on Sundays for rec shooting. I’ll let you know when it is next and I’m free.
I have no idea.
I’ve emailed them 5-6 times since the August match looking for the results.
What kind of Rifle is that you are using Robb. Did you build that just for 3 gun matches.
Damn! I wish I could have made it yesterday. 
Hopefully next month…
Nice photos especially of Brett’s Tigerstripe. Good job.
I thought about going but pussed out. Thanks for posting the pics.
How was the turnout?
Joe Mamma
Total Frankengun and yes is a competition only gun.
Bushy lower, Bushy lower parts kit, JARD trigger, Magpul MIAD grip and PRS stock, Enidine buffer, CMT upper receiver, JP service weight carrier, Leitner Wise Advanced Combat Bolt, PRI gas buster charging handle, JP FF tube, JP gas block, Bushy 20" 1x9 fluted bbl, JP Bennie Cooley muzzle brake, Larue SPR scope mount, Leupold Vari-X III 1.5-5x illuminated scope (German No.4 reticle), JP ‘home-boy’ close range (10yds) sight, on a JP 4" rail with 1/2" YHM risers.
Small turnout, less than 30 I think.
I’ve been trying to make it out to every one of these, but I didn’t find out about this one until the day before. Since Klaus went his own way, the website hasn’t been a very good source of info, which sucks since I can never make it out to their meetings. There’s a big paper/steel match scheduled for next month that I hope to make it out to.
Nice Robb…making me jealous! whis I was there with you guys.
In do time brother, in do time!
Where was this shoot?
Anyone know how far it is from Raleigh NC?
Can anyone come play?
Blackwater Practical Shooters, LLC matches are held at Blackwater USA, located in Moyock, NC. It is in the northeastern corner of NC, near the Virginia border.
I spoke to Ron Reiner today. He is the guy that is doing the Paper and Steel Shootout at Blackwater October 28/29. Ron said that match will be 7 stages with paper in 3 of the shoot houses and 4 stages of steel. Round count will be over 250. The classes will be a mix of IDPA and IPSC rules. A new thread should be up very soon. Prize money will be awarded. I am shooting both Stock Revolver and Stock Pistol.
I’m in dude! I’m shooting Sunday morning. Hopefully we’ll get a good sized group from the forum there. I’ll probably spend the night nearby on Saturday night. We should try to get a group of us together for dinner or something.

I’m very interested in shooting this. Will probably have 5 or 6 of us. How do I sign up? We would need to shoot Sunday.
