The Rock River Arms PDS Pistol is the first of a new generation of firearms employing Rock River Arms’ patent-pending Piston Driven System (PDS).

Utilizing a purpose-designed bolt carrier, an adjustable gas piston and an over-the-barrel spring and guide rod arrangement, the Rock River Arms PDS is able to completely eliminate the traditional recoil system associated with AR-style firearms, making for an extremely versatile weapon platform. The design of the upper receiver and guide rod base prevents gas blow-by to the back of the receiver.

Norris, who used a Smith & Wesson M&P Pro Series 9mm pistol, dominated the field by winning six of the eight stages on his way to a final time of 93.56 seconds. Norris’ time, which was 6.82 seconds faster than Leatham, also placed him 14th overall in the match.

“I’m pretty happy with how I shot. I only had to eat a couple slow runs here and there, but overall it was a very solid performance the match and my time of 93.56 is usually good enough to win the Limited division,” said B.J Norris. Norris’ was so strong that he would have placed second in the Limited division. Finishing third behind Leatham’s 100.38 was fellow Smith & Wesson shooter Mike Seeklander who won one stage to post a final time of 108.66. Fourth place went to Bradley Holt who shot a time of 115.98 while fifth place, and the Women’s Production title, went to the captain of the Smith & Wesson shooting team Julie Golob with 121.20.

California Outdoor Heritage Alliance California --(Ammoland.com)- Legislation is pending on the California Senate Floor that would expand the current handgun registration law to long guns by requiring the CA Attorney General to permanently maintain a registry of ALL firearms purchasers.

Norris’ was one of nine titles won by the Smith & Wesson shooting team during competition at the Steel Challenge. The Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships were held August 19-21 in Piru, Calif.

Under the provisions of AB 1810 (Feuer), those who purchase or transfer a shotgun or rifle will be required to register that firearm by submitting their name, address, place of birth, phone number and occupation to the California Department of Justice.

phone number, occupation, and sex to the California Department of Justice.

AB 1810 (Feuer/D-Los Angeles) proposes to expand the current handgun registration law to long guns by requiring the Attorney General to permanently maintain a registry of all firearms purchasers. Under the provisions of AB 1810 (Feuer), those who purchase or transfer a shotgun or rifle will be required to register that firearm by submitting their name, address, place of birth, phone number and occupation to the California Department of Justice.

AB 1810 is little more than an extreme invasion of personal privacy masked as an important crime fighting tool. At this point, it is unclear whether or not California’s existing handgun registration law is helping to fight crime in any meaningful way. Therefore, it is unnecessary to greatly expand the handgun registration law to include all firearms, particularly given that traditional sporting arms make up less than 10% of all firearms related homicides in California each year.

Unfortunately, AB 1810 raced through the Assembly earlier this summer and is moving equally quick on the Senate side. The measure passed out of Senate Appropriations Committee in early August and is now headed to the Senate Floor, where it will come up for a vote in mid August.

AB 1810 would not help law enforcement agencies solve crime, but rather unnecessarily invade the privacy of otherwise law abiding hunting and sport shooting enthusiasts. Because the bill’s negative ramifications far outweigh its potential positive benefits, I urge you to oppose AB 1810.

COHA believes that AB 1810 is an extreme invasion of personal privacy masked as an important crime fighting tool. At this point, it is unclear whether or not California’s existing handgun registration law is helping to fight crime in any meaningful way. [But it is safe to assume that it will be no different in California than any where else in the world were it has not made a difference in crime]

Sincerely, YOUR NAME

Therefore, it is unnecessary to greatly expand the handgun registration law to include all firearms – particularly given that traditional sporting arms make up less than 10% of all firearms related homicides in California each year.

Smith & Wesson Junior Shooters, Crow, Sarabia and Smith Score Steel Challenge Wins

Earlier in the year, Sarabia, who is just 13 years old and proving to be one of the strongest additions to the Smith & Wesson shooting team, came within one stage of defeating team captain Julie Golob in competition at the Smith & Wesson International Revolver Championship. In the Iron Sight Revolver match, Smith & Wesson’s other junior powerhouse Molly Smith not only won the Junior title but took the overall Women’s title by edging out teammate Annette Aysen.

AUG 27, 2010 02:11P.M. Smith & Wesson Junior Shooters, Crow, Sarabia and Smith Score Steel Challenge Wins

Smith, who found it personally difficult defeating her close friend Aysen, won six of the eight stages to finish with a time of 137.05 seconds to Aysen’s 140.70. “I shot the best I ever have and set a new personal record. It was really exciting shooting by personal best at a big match like this, but it was very bittersweet beating Annette. We kind of have an agreement that if there is anyone we’d want to lose to it would be each other,” explained Smith. “But she still has me in the IRC so I’m not that good yet,” added Smith. Rounding out Smith & Wesson’s collection of junior titles was Rachel Crow who finished as the top lady in the Open Sight Revolver match. Crow, who also competed in the IRC with Sarabia and Smith, posted a final time of 155.32 seconds to win the Women’s OSR title.

Janae Sarabia finished third among all women in the Open division.

Also claiming titles for Smith & Wesson were B.J. Norris in the Production division, Julie Golob with wins in the Limited and Production divisions, Phil Strader who claimed the Iron Sight Rimfire title and Jerry Miculek who won the Open Sight Revolver title and posted the third fastest time in the Steel Challenge.

Ben Avery Shooting Facility Happy to see Phoenix City Working to Acquire Pioneer Village Property

From humble beginnings as a schoolboy trapper, Miranda has taken his love of the outdoors and turned it into the career of a lifetime. Running trap lines near his hometown of suburban Columbus, Ohio, he learned the ways of the wild. After high school, when many graduates went off to college, Miranda was off to the wilds of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to build his own log cabin and launch his professional trapping career. Questioning parents and confused friends maybe didn’t understand, but he knew that his life pursuit was found along the streams and wild places.

Several years later, he found himself in South Dakota, working as a government trapper and hunter, mastering the art of trapping and honing his skills. These bold steps have since led to authoring five books, more than 60 how-to trapping and hunting videos, and eventually the chance to host an outdoor adventure show. In 1992, he became the adventurous Saturday morning bow hunter on ESPN. The “Outdoor Adventure Magazine” TV series took him around the globe on exciting expeditions, and his viewers followed.

Pioneer Arizona Living History Museum

Winter Range cowboy action and cowboy mounted shooting championships, and the annual Western Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) and Creedmoor Cup high-power rifle competitions, to name a few. In addition, the facility hosts the annual Arizona Game and Fish Department Outdoor Expo, which draws more than 30,000 visitors. While all Arizona residents and out-of-state visitors have access to the unique Arizona opportunity that the Ben Avery Shooting Facility represents, the Arizona Game and Fish Department receives no general tax revenue, and the range and its facilities represent the contribution of substantial shooter, archer, and sportsmen and sportswomen dollars that support this world-class venue. The Department will continue to monitor developments on this issue. The Arizona Game and Fish Department prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, or disability in its programs and activities.

Arizona Game and Fish Department PHOENIX, AZ – -(Ammoland.com)- Hello Shooters: Many patrons of the Ben Avery Shooting Facility have been following the developments over the last six weeks related to the Pioneer Arizona Living History Museum property located west of I-17 on Pioneer Road in Phoenix. That property borders the Ben Avery property to the north. The following is an update.

The Phoenix City Council voted at a special session on Aug. 18, 2010, to authorize the City to acquire the Pioneer Arizona Living History Museum property from the current owner, either by purchase, donation, or by the power of eminent domain. The current owner had acquired the 92-acre property at a state land auction on July 15, 2010, narrowly outbidding the City.

The City has had a long-standing interest in acquiring the property for the purpose of preserving the museum and land. The Arizona Game and Fish Commission voted unanimously at the Commission’s February 2009 public meeting to support the City’s acquisition efforts to ensure that a family-friendly, historical-themed park be maintained at this location, which would also be compatible with the ongoing operations of the shooting range and serve as a buffer against encroachment.

Julie Golob competes on Smoke & Hope. The Smith & Wesson team captain used the same M&P Pro and Safariland holster to win both her titles.

Julie Golob’s performance on Outer Limits helped win her the Production division title. In Friday’s Limited division match Golob won just three stages to Abbate’s five but finished with a final time of 113.72 seconds, outpacing Abbate’s 116.41 by 2.69 seconds. On Saturday, again shooting the Smith & Wesson M&P, Golob went head-to-head with Rogers with each winning four of the eight stages. However, it was Golob’s performance on the stage called Outer Limits, where she picked up 5.01 seconds on Rogers, that gave her the advantage and ultimately the win. Golob finished the Production event in a time of 121.20 seconds to Rogers’ 125.98, a difference of 4.78 seconds.

Steel Challenge Shooting Association PIRU, Calif. –-(Ammoland.com)- Helping to set the tone for the rest of her team, Smith & Wesson’s shooting team captain Julie Golob knocked off defending champion Jessie Abbate to claim the Women’s Limited division title during Friday’s competition then outgunned Glock’s Randi Rogers on Saturday to take the Women’s Production title at the Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships in Piru, California.

Earlier in the match Golob finished ninth overall with a time of 106.85 seconds in the Iron Sight Rimfire event where she was the only woman competing. Her fellow teammates, Phil Strader and John Bagakis, finished first and third respectively in the same event. The Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships were held August 19-21 in Piru, Calif. For more information on the Steel Challenge and the Steel Challenge Shooting Association, visit www.SteelChallenge.com, find us on Facebook or follow @SteelChallenge on Twitter.

Golob accounted for two of the nine titles that Team Smith & Wesson picked up during the three day speed shooting competition. “The Steel Challenge is one of the most intense matches on the circuit. The women competing here are incredibly talented and going into the event I knew I would have to be at the top of my game to win,” said Golob.

“The Steel Challenge is all about control for me and not shooting outside of my ability. It’s easy to get lured into shooting someone else’s pace but I was able to stay focused. I used a Smith & Wesson M&P Pro Series 9mm and Safariland production rig in both divisions. I love this set up and to be undefeated at this year’s Steel Challenge was an absolute thrill,” said Julie Golob.

“It was a tough match so I was really pleased with the way I shot. With just 1.26 seconds between the top four shooters, it could have been anybody’s match,” said Ishikawa. “I shot pretty steady throughout though I didn’t have any stage wins. I had just one rough stage and going into the final stage, Pendulum, I knew that I needed to get through it without any problems and though I shot it a little slower than I did in practice, overall my time was where I’d hoped it would be.”

U.S. Army Marksmanship Soldiers Return Home With Multiple Shooting Titles AUG 27, 2010 11:01A.M. United States Army Marksmanship Unit U.S. Army Marksmanship Soldiers Return Home With Multiple Shooting Titles By Michael Molinaro USAMU PAO

FORT BENNING, Ga. --(Ammoland.com)- Soldiers from the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit completed one of the unit’s most successful runs in recent years at the 2010 National Rifle and Pistol Championship, winning multiple individual and team championships, setting national records, and upholding the unit’s reputation as the “Home of Champions.” Accomplishing the unit’s mission to enhance the Army’s recruiting effort and raise the Army’s combat readiness takes up a lot of the Soldiers time, so the USAMU Soldiers’ intense desire to train to win enabled them to prevail at Camp Perry. “Our expansive mission of supporting the war-fighter limits the amount of time available to prepare for the National Championship,” said Sgt. 1st Class Kyle Ward, noncommissioned officer-in-charge of the service rifle team “When the team is able to come together and train, everyone is extremely focused on the task at hand.”

CAMP PERRY, Ohio – Soldiers from the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit’s Service Pistol team won the National Pistol Championship overall team championship. Team members were: (front) Staff Sgt. Lyman Grover; Staff Sgt. Robert Park; and Staff Sgt. Patrick Franks. (back) Sgt. 1st Class James Henderson; Sgt. 1st Class Gregory Wilson; and staff Sgt. John Ennis.

The crowning achievement for the unit was finishing first in all of the major team competitions at the championships. The USAMU Service Pistol’s Blue team started things off by winning the “Coming Through the Rye” trophy as the top four-man pistol team, winning the title for the second time in the unit’s history. Soldiers from the International Rifle team followed that up by winning the prone any sight team championship during the smallbore matches, defending their crown from a year ago. Soldiers from the Service Rifle team completed the sweep, winning the “Dogs of War” trophy and the coveted National Trophy Infantry Team match. Much of the team’s success is credited to teamwork, Ward said. Soldiers helped each other out during training sessions, communicated well during the matches, and, as is always the case at the USAMU, the Custom Firearms Shop provided the direct support that enables the USAMU to stand tall above the rest.

“I attribute much of our success to the professionals in the Custom Firearms Shop and loading facility who went the extra mile in ensuring that we had the best equipment possible,” said Ward. Individually, USAMU Soldiers stood out amongst the huge field of more than 6,000 competitors throughout the six-week period in July and August. Sgt. Sherri Jo Gallagher persevered against one of the toughest field of competitors in the history of rifle competitions to win the national highpowered rifle championship. Gallagher set a new national record in the process with a score of 2396-161x, beating out a ten-time champion, a four-time champion, and the defending champion.

She is the first service member to win the championship since 1987 and only the second woman ever to do so—her mother was the first. Gallagher won eight individual matches, seven aggregate championships and set four other national records over the course of the week. Staff Sgt. Shane Barnhart swept the field during the smallbore matches, winning both the national three-position and prone championships, the second consecutive year a USAMU Soldier has accomplished the incredible feat and only the third shooter ever in the history of the matches. It was the fourth time he won the three-position championship. “I have been close to winning the prone before, but this year I was hungry for it,” Barnhart said. “I worked my butt off during the entire nationals. I never let up.” “Being only the third person in history to double up on the championships feels amazing. This motivates me to really train hard to make the Olympic team and World Cups.” Staff Sgt. Robert Park led the way for the Service Pistol team. Park won the prestigious President’s Pistol Trophy for the second time and finished in third place overall at the National Pistol Championship, his first time making the podium. He was a member of three team championships and won three other individual titles, including the overall service pistol champion during the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s National Trophy Pistol matches.

Soldiers are primed for a busy fall season conducting marksmanship training for Soldiers preparing to deploy. Combining the unit’s performance at the nationals with their sheer dominance in the Interservice competitions, the training those deploying Soldiers will receive will undoubtedly come from the best.

About USAMU: The USAMU’s mission is to raise the standard of marksmanship proficiency and combat readiness throughout the Army by sharing knowledge gained from competing and winning in national/ international competitions, research and development and advanced training programs while enhancing the Army’s recruiting effort through an active public information and public relations program. For more information on the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, contact the Public Affairs Office at (706) 545-5436, Michael.Molinaro@usaac.army.mil or www.USAMU.com .
