I was working carpentry for the last 2 months and was just too busy to work on any HandgunJoe stuff, so here is an update on everything I have going on:
1.
The new Web site is up and running obviously. Many thanks to Russ at Spyderbyte Media, He did a phenominal job of designing the theme and layout of the new blog.
2.
I have ALOT of video from the last two months. I attended one of Steve Fishers’ Handgun I defensive firearms classes, the video is almost ready. I participated in two ACTS matches, the June video is already up, and The July Combat Rifle Championship pics and video will be up as soon as I can edit it. I suck at shooting video.
3.
I have snap caps ready for sale. They are much better than anything else on the market right now. I make most of the popular calibers and I can make custom stuff too. I’ve sold them on www.ar15.com, & www.migunowners.org. I will be posting some customer reviews soon. You can check them out on the My Stuff for sale page.

4.
I have been working on an adapter to allow the use of the longer 45acp slides on the model 30 subcompact 45. This project is going well but is not ready yet. I’m having trouble finding a machinist who is in my budget.
5.
I want to engineer and build a carbine that uses Glock magazines. I know that others are working on similar projects but they have missed the most important details that make the thing worthwhile. I have some solid ideas that I will be working up in the near future.
6.
I am now certified by the NRA to instruct Basic Pistol, Personal Protection In The Home, Basic Shotgun, and Basic Rifle classes. I plan to offer small CCW-CPL classes for friends and family members.
Introducing new people to the shooting sports and the importance of self-defense is something we should all be thinking about.
7.
I have a few other ideas I want to pursue, but can’t talk about just yet.
Its all hush-hush you know.

…so the short version is I will be doing my best to get these things going full steam but I can’t promise anything as far as dates go.

Stay tuned…

     The stages were very challenging, from 100 yard precision to fast and close in the “weapon confiscation” stage.   Andy actually finnished in second place.  He is better than he lets on.  In one of the stages he had a malfunction and cleared it pretty quick to finish the stage.  Of course he thinks he was too slow. 

     Anyway here is some of the video, I know the quality stinks but i left it in there to show what effects the cold has on everything. I will post more in a few days as i get it ready. 

     You can go to the offficial web sites to learn more about ACTS and Centerline of Calhoun County in Bellevue, Michigan.

we got wet and i shot horrible.

there was a gong with a 2 inch hole in it and this chick put five arrows in a row through the hole!

she was awsome.

but i redeemed myself yesterday when my buddy and i were practicing.

we were taking all kinds of wierd shots spontaineously so there was no time to get comfortable with the range or angle of the spot we were shooting from.

i would start crouched behind a mound of dirt where i could not see the target and Tim would pick which target i would aim at and say go.

then i had to stand and shoot as quick as i could and get a solid hit.

it was very realistic training.

i dont think i will shoot any other way any more.

standing at a given range and shooting over and over just does not prepare you for hunting.

even in competition you have to judge distance and shoot only one or two arrows at most, before moving on to a new target.

HGJ out.
