    Very cool, thanks!

    I kept waiting for them to tell me to get off their lawn, though....

    It is a good video. I would like to know more about how the Americans had to have things their way and created USPSA in the 1980s.

    One of the better videos in the series. Ken's really at his best when he's talking history.

    I was involved in IPSC in California, back in the late 80's. Younger shooters today would be amazed at how basic the gear was compared to today. Some of the things commonly incorporated into stages back then would make an insurance adjuster faint.
    We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......

    That video should have been about three hours long and Ken should have let the other guys talk a lot more.

    Cool video. I shot my first IPSC match at Fort Harmar in 1981. Certainly has been a lot of change since.

    Was it the old Ft Harmar or the new? I shot a course at the old venue that involved going down into a ditch/creek. Some guys lost magazines down in that crap!

    Good times!

    I started at the old range in town. Before people built houses behind the back stop and they had to close the range. There was a creek that ran across the range between the 50 yard line and the 25 yard line.

    When they moved to the new range out in the country, they had stages where you had to jump into the creek and make your way, wading down the creek while shooting targets. That was fun. Best to bring a change of clothes those days.

    Yep, good times.

    I started shooting IPSC in 78 at the Medina Rifle and Pistol Club in Northern Ohio. We shot in a sand pit, usually only one stage, and most of us shot a 1911 in .45ACP. We had a great time. I do miss it. USPSA isn't the same. The stages are overly complicated with awkward positions and many 180 degree traps.
