February 1st, 2014, The University of Florida Practical Pistol Team
traveled to College Station, TX to compete in the A&M hosted SPP Southwest Winter Regionals. The centerfire team made a huge improvement by shaving over 150 seconds off their score from last year’s match, placing 2nd and receiving funds for their growing Midway USA foundation account. Through a year of competition the Gators and Aggies have forged a strong friendship. A&M’s former team captain will be traveling with and shooting the Area 6
Championship with UF team members in April. – Tom Davis

Hello USPSA Section Coordinators and Club Presidents,
Per direction from USPSA President, Phil Strader, I am sending this email. Please get this out to all Match Setup staff, directly.
With the division change to Revolver, allowing 8-shot Minor, going into play in February…USPSA needs to pull some of the classifiers (at least for the time being). See the list below. You are getting this ahead of any changes on the USPSA website.
Juniors of Area 6 make World Shoot Team
Two juniors from St Petersburg FL have worked very hard over the past 3 years. So hard that they made it to the USPSA World Shoot Team. Jason Katz and Seth Clagg will be competing in the Production Division of IPSC’s biggest match. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for them both. With tremendous support from their home range, the Wyoming Antelope Club and several of the local competitors individual donations, these two have a good chance of winning at the biggest IPSC tournament in the world.
As many people know the World Shoot XVII will be held this year in Florida at the Universal Shooting Academy. World Shoot is only held once every three years and is in a different country each time. This is such an opportunity for all of us to see the absolute top competitors from each country stretch it out over 30 stages. Make your plans early to visit Frostproof FL in October. More information is at http://universalshootingacademy.com
Electronic Scoring
Electronic Scoring can and will be a great improvement to our sport. There are several companies developing software to be used across many platforms. Action Shooting is in the birth years of electronic scoring and development is just starting. It is still unclear as to who will emerge as the best for USPSA but there is plenty of room for developers to bring forward their ideas.
