What a great finish for Team S&W at the Smith & Wesson US Steel Shoot National Championships held in Titusville, FL last weekend.  The match featured the eight Steel Challenge stages used in the World Championships each year.   In addition to Team S&W securing 13 top five finishes in several divisions in the match, my teammates BJ Norris and Jerry Miculek earned national titles.BJ posted phenomenal scores in Open, Limited and Rimfire events.  He won Limited by over 3 seconds and just barely missed laying claim to the Open and Rimfire titles by less than a tenth of a second … Read the full story

It’s critical have effective eye protection whenever you are around shooting whether you are competing or just watching at the range. I have been a big fan of Rudy Project eye wear for a while now.  Not only do they protect my eyes, but they look cool too!  They have so many different frame styles and practically any lens color you can imagine make them a  great choice for ever changing lighting conditions on the range.  Now I am excited to add them to my list of sponsors.  For great fitting, effective eye protection and other cool gear check out … Read the full story

Unfortunately I can’t make this match, but I am very excited about it.  First I am proud to say that Smith & Wesson® is the title sponsor for this national level event and all the Steel Challenge regional matches throughout the country.  Steel Challenge is arguably the best action shooting sport to get started in for any new shooter, especially juniors and women.  Competitors draw from the holster and shoot different arrays of five steel plates. There is even a .22 only division where you don’t even have to have a rig (belt, holster, etc.) that makes it even easier … Read the full story

Tonight we’ll be joined by Julie Goloski, member of Smith & Wesson’s pro team of shooters. She will be sharing her insight on the shooting sports, as well as the balance of being a top level professional shooter and a wife and mother.

Back from my first match of my season, the 2009 ICORE Southern Regional, and I have to say I am officially hooked on ICORE.Annette Aysen, Match Director for the event, and her crew of talented range officers ran over 60 revolver shooters from all over the country and even Canada.  The match featured ten dynamic and fun courses of fire.  Shooters were tested on simple and straight forward  stages like “Not Jeff’s Prez II”, “Three Pairs”, and the all steel stage, “Four Times Six”.  All were challenged by “Annie’s Standards” – a modification of the notorious “Near to Far Standards” … Read the full story

As many of you may know I took a year and a half off from shooting for the best reasons in the world – to become a wife and mom.  I can’t say enough how amazing it has been watching my baby girl grow. I could go on for hours about how wonderful she is but I won’t do that to you.The itch to compete again has always been there, but now I am looking forward to scratching it. As I jump back on the competition circuit I feel somewhat like a veteran looking at the events I have always … Read the full story
