August (This is a very busy month at work. I don't think I will be able to make any events this month. I will spend time dry firing, practicing draws, and hopefully some live fire practice at South River)
Sept. Busy month: Shot in several USPSA matches, Shot and R.O.'d the Glock Match in Conyers
Oct. Shot/R.O.'d the Area 6 MultiGun Championship. Plan on shooting monthly Cllassifer _ Autrey's. Hopefully get in fair amount of practice, as well as some trap / skeet.
Nov. Monthly USPSA match _ South River, Classifer Match _ Autrey's, Steel Match in Griffin, East Alabama's USPSA Match and 3 Gun Match
Dec. Fort Benning 3 gun
I started shooting in IPSC/USPSA matches in June of 2009. I was hooked after my first match. I also have competed in Steel Matches, GSSF and am starting to branch out into 3 gun / multi gun .
I am one of the lucky people who gets to make a living doing something I love: Photography. I manage a large school portrait company, as well as own my own photography company.

Learned my lesson about propper equipment set up and testing.
Lesson #1. Use locktite on everything. I had a sight fall off and it ruined the day. I have also had an issue with the barrel clamp on my Ext Tube coming loose.
Lesson #2. Always double check that your guns with cycle with a particular load. I switched slugs in my Shotun at the area 6 match, and my semi auto became a single shot
Take your time! Speed has ruined my results more often than anything. Slow is smooth. Smooth is Fast...
