For those of you that were in thee Grans Island area on August 11-14, 2011, you had the opportunity to see a lot of great shooters competing. In fact, the entries in this year's competition was over 300! At this rate of growth, who knows how many shooters we will see in coming years?
Once again, the Heartland Public Shooting Park pulled out all the stops in trying to put together a safe quality match, and they were also glad to see all the shooters. It was gratifying seeing all of the various license plates show up at the park, and we thank you for coming. We look forward to hosting many more USPSA matches in the future.
One of our local club shooters, Jeremy Millard, once again made a solid showing despite not winning his division. Enjoy this brief video as he attacked the steel, and we look forward to hosting all of you when you come out to shoot with our club.

Who Takes Part In USPSA?
The first time that you step onto a USPSA range, you may feel somewhat intimidated, especially if your previous experience was in just shooting at paper targets. However, this should be the least of your worries, as our shooters are of all skills, speed levels, ages, health, and fitness levels. We are all out to help each other and have a good time, so we can fit in anyone.
Competitors in USPSA clubs and matches come from every walk of life and socioeconomic level. Some of the career paths that some of the USPSA national members follow include the following: doctors, lawyers, mechanics, engineers, small business owners, pilots, law enforcement personnel, homemakers, students, security officers, ministers, and many others. In fact, it would be hard to find a career that wasn't represented. Many women also take part in the sport, as fifteen percent of the USPSA members are women. Youth are also discovering the sport, as ten percent of the members are under the age of twenty one. However, it is not just the young who are taking part. A large number of USPSA members are either approaching, or have already, retired. The members are also of many different races and religions, as the national bylaws require that membership be open to anyone that can legally own a firearm.
As you can see, there is room for anyone in the sport, and we would be glad to host you at Heartland Public Shooting Park. We look forward to seeing you at our next match.

Successful 1911 Shoot
We would like to thank all of the people who came out to shoot in the Centennial 1911 Match, along with all of the volunteers and other workers who made it possible. A special thanks to Mick Reynolds for all of the time that he spent designing the stages and those who were able to set up the stages behind the scenes. All of these things worked together in order to make things run smoothly. Above all, a big thanks to the Heartland Public Shooting Park for being the venue for the event, and we couldn't have done it without all the sponsors.
Despite the scorching temperatures, twenty eight shooters took part in the match, and it was a good mixture of challenging and typical courses, all with a military theme (in honor of the history of the venerable 1911). I am sure a lot of people were surprised by the unique movement and the movable platform that they faced (and who thought they would have to hit a target with softballs in a shooting match?).
Although we consider everyone who took part in the event to be a winner, we would like to issue a special congratulations to the top five shooters in the match:
