MY PISTOL IS OFF!
How many of us have ever experienced a range session were no matter how hard we try it seems the target moves out of the way of the bullet a millisecond before the shot impacts? We spend a lot of our hard earned money on expensive pistols that never seem to hold up to their end of the deal and do their job, which is hit the target they are aimed at! Unfortunately for a shooter nowadays the excuse that a modern manufactured, out of the box handgun is “off” is generally not the case. Subjects that are often overlooked or misinterpreted when dealing with handguns and precision should be looked at before the equipment is blamed.
There are only two things needed to make a successful shot, stabilizing the muzzle on the target (referenced by the sights) and pressing the trigger to the rear without adding extra movement to the muzzle. The fit of the pistol to the shooters hand is often neglected when a handgun purchase is made. Would you by a pair of shoes that aren’t comfortable? Trigger finger placement on the trigger is important. If the index finger lands on the side of the trigger because of improper fit the possibility for unwanted movement taking place as the trigger is pressed can cause a miss down range. With this statement being made the other subject is sights. Sight picture, or how the sights are viewed on the target when the front and rear sights are aligned is a topic sometimesmisunderstood by the shooter. It is important to know where the bullet will impact in relation to your sights. Sights are often broken down into two types, point of aim/point of impact (commonly called “combat” sights) and traditional target sights (or six o’clock hold). Mixing a target hold with combat style sights will generally result in shots impacting low, and vice versa. Keep these subjects in mind next time you find yourself cursing at your gun for not hitting the target!

60 & 100 Round Mags from Surefire!
Personally, I haven't tried these. I have read some reviews where some worked and some didin't. It is my understanding that the inital ones that came out had an occasional problem, while others stated that they didn't have any problems at all. In the end, if any mag is used and abused it will eventually give you problems.

Health Insurance Survey Targets Gun Owners
Brian McCombie | Dec 19, 2011 |
Oregon State Senator Ted Ferrioli.
“The questionnaire asked the workers to volunteer lifestyle information that would be used to assist medical professionals in tailoring wellness plans,” Blue Mountain Eagle reported. “One part asks about gun ownership and how securely guns are kept. Ferrioli took issue with lumping gun ownership in with statements about risky behaviors.”
“The question ridiculously equated gun ownership to drunkenness, reckless driving, and other criminal behavior,” he said. “The assumption insults people who exercise a constitutional right to keep and bear arms. These issues have no bearing on an individual’s wellness plan.”
Kaiser Permanente agreed to delete the question from the forms. Ferrioli has also asked that the company to purge any gun ownership data that was already collected.

Great Picture of Daniel Horner!
I don't think anyone would argue that Daniel Horner is the "Superman" of 3 Gun. Here is another great pic of him in action. I believe credit goes to the photographers involved with 3 Gun Nation.

Patrick E. Kelley Discusses Trigger Control
Shooting can sometimes seem easy until you are "on the clock." Every now and then it helps to get back to the basics of breathing, sight alignment, and trigger control. For most, once the buzzer/timer goes off, all plans are thrown out the window and sometimes the basics too.
Focus on fundamentals. Patrick E. Kelley discusses trigger control and relays a tip to help improve it.

Team Stag Arms Posts Strong Inaugural 3-Gun Season
Source: www.TheShootingWire.com

At the final match of the season, the FNH 3-Gun Championship in Glengary, WV; Kalani Laker finished well in the Tactical Optics division with a 6th place finish and two overall stage wins. The stage wins were the talk of the town at the awards banquet. Jesse Tischauser finished 9th in the Open division, impressive for his first time competing the Open division where some of the best shooters compete.
At the 3-Gun Nation Championships, Kalani was able to make the top 16 shoot-off again this year out of the most talented group of shooters ever assembled. Jesse just barely missed the cut, but weather had a lot to do with it as it was very cold and windy in the morning when he got drawn for his starting time slot.
Unfortunately, in the shoot-off, Kalani couldn't make it past the first round like he did at the Ozark 3-Gun match. However Kalani is healing well from an injury earlier this year and it has shown in the past few matches. It is evident that Team Stag Arms will be a common fixture in the shoot-offs and division rankings for some time.
Jesse and Kalani are on a phenomenal roll. They have amassed a remarkable amount of top ten finishes and shoot-off appearances as a team, only surpassed by the US Army Marksmanship Unit. The best part of the final match, perhaps a good indication of Team Stag Arms' influence the past few months, were the remarks by a few top tier shooters saying they were contemplating using the Stag Arms Model 3G in competition next year. They wanted to know want ammunition to use for the best results. That is a huge compliment!
Stag Arms and Team Stag Arms are both excited and looking forward to a great 2012 3-Gun season.

Game Gun: The Stag 3G Review, by Patrick Sweeney
In some circles, Stag is known as either the left-handed AR maker or the plain-jane AR maker. Well, that isn’t the case anymore. Stag has unveiled a top-end AR that is meant for a particular market—the 3-Gun shooter. However, it’s more than just that. The evolution of the AR has brought us to a realization: top-end ARs are very versatile rifles and can do a lot more than you might think.
