Recently completed my annual retired law enforcement officer qualification (LEOSA). Kept it REVO running my R***r GP100 snub. Scored a 💯 -BARELY, had one round error to the right at 15 yards, just breaking the line of full-value scoring zone. "That little guy, I wouldn't worry about that little guy!" 😁

Corgi Nation Pistol Team’s last range day of 2025! Spent a cold (but dry) morning today at PB with range family, busting caps and burning powder. Looking forward to another year in pursuit of elusive -0’s.
Earlier this Fall, Corgi Nation Pistol Team competed in the 2025 Archangel Manufacturing and Fusion Fi****ms Western Washington IDPA Regional Championship held at Renton Fish & Game Club ( https://rfgc.org/ ).
Match Director Joe Bawden and the Down Zero 214 crew did a stellar job making what I think is the best Tier-2 match in the Pacific Northwest! 👏
Regarding this video, I need to thank the SO Team working this stage: Josh Stone, and Sidney and Katie Ballard for helping me figure out a Start Position. 👊
This footage captures the most challenging shooting I’ve done since becoming disabled. To be able to shoot activator and engage disappearing Drop Turner (DT) in time from my chair, I had to be way back in a “Position of Ability”, far behind normal Start Position so I could simultaneously see through both ports. This provided only partially visible targets for both, the activator and DT. Ended up having to ambush the DT as only right edge appeared through the port.
Definitely not my best shooting, but luckily my BERETTA 92x Performance Defensive has a knack for finding -0’s and allowed me to secure Most Accurate Irons. 🙌

Corgi Nation Pistol Team's Lead Corgi Wrangler and our very own Area Coordinator Shawn Hallinan are featured in this quarter's IDPA Tactical Journal. ✍️Check it out here: https://www.idpa.com/tactical-journal-volume-29-issue-4-4th-quarter-2025/
Last month, Corgi Nation Pistol TeamMatch Directed the “2025 Senior Classic” Action Shooting International (https://asi-usa.org/ ) specialty match at our home range, Paul Bunyan Rifle Club ( https://pbrsc.org/ ).
The annual Senior Classic gives well-tenured shooters opportunity to compete against one another for Division / Category awards and has continued to grow in popularity –we had 98 shooters this year!
As usual, a big, “Tango-Mike” (Thanks-Much) to our SOLID crew of volunteers who help make this event possible.
Also, special recognition to Brent at River's Edge Arms / Artistry for his long-standing support of our local shooting community and awesome work making our Olympic style medals. 🥇
New adventures abroad lie ahead for Brent, good luck Sir –you will be missed.
This video captures what was hands-down my favorite stage. Conceived by our very own “Target Master” Marshall –who works tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure our success– I couldn’t help but think, “Marshall Mayhem” was his gift to the competitors!
My BERETTA 92x Performance Defensive continues to impress, harvesting down zeroes with ease, and allowing me to win Most Accurate Irons. 😎
