AzCDL Awarded “Grassroots Gun Rights Organization of the
Year”
Arizona Citizens Defense League
Catalina, AZ --(Ammoland.com)- We just got word from AzCDL
Secretary Charles Heller, attending the 2010 Gun Rights Policy
Conference (GRPC) in San Francisco.
AzCDL has been awarded “Grassroots Organization of the Year” for our
success on Constitutional Carry and other bills this year. This is our third
award from GRPC and we are very proud of our accomplishments!
However, it was YOUR support and activism that resulted in AzCDL
being recognized. Thank you!
Now, we have to work even harder! Get ready for next year!
These alerts are a project of the Arizona Citizens Defense League
(AzCDL), an all volunteer, non-profit, non-partisan grassroots
organization. Join today!
About:
AzCDL believes that the emphasis of gun laws should be on criminal
misuse and that law-abiding citizens should be able to own and carry
firearms unaffected by unnecessary laws or regulations. AzCDL was
founded by a group of local activists who recognized that a sustained,
coordinated, statewide effort was critical to protecting and expanding the
rights of law-abiding gun owners. As a like-minded coalition of activists,
the AzCDL founders were instrumental in the successful passage of the
first major improvement to Arizona’s CCW (concealed carry) laws since
they were instituted in 1994. Visit: www.azcdl.org

Warrensville Heights, OH – -(Ammoland.com)- The extensive time
and research invested in updating classic military handguns is truly
staggering.
As technology has increased over time gun manufacturers have spent
countless hours reproducing classic guns with improved safety features,
better build quality, and greater shooting accuracy.
Many gun enthusiasts, however, hold reverence for the trademarked look
and feel of the original firearms despite the tide of ever changing
technology. One gun that remains distinctive and unique despite
updated modern features and the passage of time is the Colt 1911 pistol.
The Colt 1911 served as the standard U.S. Military issue sidearm from its
World War 1 debut on through to the end of the Vietnam War. Featuring
outstanding reliability and solid stopping power, this gun was copied
extensively by gun manufacturers in the United States and abroad.
The short recoil firing principle of this gun was invented by renowned
gun designer John Browning. Browning at the time was working for Colt
on an autoloader pistol built around a contemporary .38” cartridge.
When Browning heard the U.S. Army express interest in creating a new
military handgun, he revised his design to accommodate a .45″ diameter
cartridge, and the 1911 prototype was born. The Colt 1911 was one of the
first firearms to pass the brutal weapons test of the U.S. Army. This
awesome gun survived 6000 rounds of continual fire in addition to
complete submersion in acid, sand, and mud, and still fired beautifully!
Although the Colt 1911 is still a widely used gun in military simulations
and law enforcement training, gun enthusiasts at any level of shooting
experience can now enjoy the authentic look and feel of this great gun in
the comfort of their backyard.
Replica Colt M1911 A1 Handguns
Our Airsoft company Pyramyd Air sells fully trademarked replica
handguns that offer shooting fun for the whole family. These guns are
expertly crafted with superior attention to detail, and fire plastic BB
pellets with outstanding power and authority.
Colt M1911 A1 Green Gas Full Metal Pistol
Licensed by Colt, the Colt M1911 A1 airsoft pistol is an exact 1:1 scale
version of its real firearm counterpart. Complete with wooden handle
grips and a full metal body, this unique gun features a 25 Rd magazine, a
shot velocity of 360 fps (using .20g BBs), and a realistic gas blowback
system. The blowback system on the gun is powered by green gas (gas
propane with added silicon oil), and produces an excellent recoil
response. The Colt M1911 A1 fires crisply and is stunningly accurate, just
like a real firearm.
Gun enthusiasts can experience the authentic look and powerful
shooting of the Colt M1911 A1 airsoft pistol and many other fully
trademarked airsoft handguns by visiting Pyramyd Air online at

Montana Shooting Sports Association
Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)-I have just returned from the
national, annual, Gun Rights Policy Conference (GRPC).
This event has been hosted each year for 25 years by the Second
Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to
Keep and Bear Arms.
Each year it is held at a different location in the U.S., this year at the
Hyatt Regency hotel at the San Francisco (California) airport, on the
edge of the Bay, south of and outside of San Francisco.
This event was packed with informative panels and presentations. A copy
of the agenda is at: http://saf.org/2010.GRPC.Agenda.pdf
You will see that the agenda reads like a roster of Who’s Who of the
RKBA movement in the U.S.
(except for the obvious absence of the NRA. The NRA, we are
told, is keeping a very low profile because of serious
backlash by NRA members and others over some recent
political compromises made by the NRA leadership.)
I chaired a panel on Saturday on the Montana Firearms Freedom Act,
the FFA movement, and our lawsuit to validate the MFFA, MSSA v.
Holder. This effort is seen as really big deal in RKBA circles across the
U.S. I had LOTS of people approach and congratulate me on MSSA’s
efforts in re the MFFA.
Joining me on that panel were Michael Bodin, founder of the Tenth
Amendment Center which tracks the state sovereignty movement, and
Nick Drainas, Director of the Center for Constitutional Government of
the Goldwater Institute in Arizona.
Lunchtime on Saturday was the awards banquet. At that awards
ceremony, MSSA was given the award “Affiliate of the Year.” Neat!
I can tell a funny story about that. Last year at the GRPC, I was given the
award for “Grassroots Activist of the Year.” I had no idea I would be
getting an award. When the award was announced, I was outside in the
hallway doing an interview with CNN (being a grassroots activist). So,
upon receiving the award for MSSA this year, I told the audience of my
last year’s fiasco, and that this year I was just glad to be in the room for
the award.
Anyway, MSSA is all of us and I wanted you to know about this
significant award.
Best wishes,

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks
MALTA, Mont. --(Ammoland.com)- Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks
(FWP) officials report that pneumonia continues to persist in the Lost
Creek (Anaconda) bighorn sheep population in west central Montana.
The usually fatal respiratory disease was first detected in the herd on
Aug. 20.
FWP spent the rest of August and all of September monitoring the Lost
Creek herd and killing diseased sheep in an effort to protect healthy
animals from exposure.
“Some of our helicopter surveys in mid September gave us
hope that we might have killed enough sick sheep to get
ahead of the disease, but as the weeks continue we’re still
observing more symptomatic sheep and seeing some
advanced cases of pneumonia in the samples we collect,” said
Ray Vinkey, FWP wildlife biologist.
“We’re also seeing pockets of healthy sheep, which is telling
us that there is still some potential to keep the disease from
reaching all the sheep, so our efforts aren’t over yet.”
There are no known vaccines to prevent pneumonia in wild sheep, or
medications that can be practically applied to prevent the death of sick
individuals. Instead, potential relief lies in protecting healthy animals
from exposure.
FWP crews now have plans to mobilize efforts to intensively monitor the
herd through the fall season and to continue killing sheep exhibiting
symptoms of the disease.
This means that big game hunters and others can expect to see
occasional helicopters monitoring sheep in Lost Creek and West Valley
and Blue-Eyed Nellie and Garrity Mountain Wildlife Management Areas
this fall.
“We’re also asking hunters and others that plan to cover a lot
of ground in these areas over the next few months to give us a
call with their reports,” Vinkey said. “All of these public
observations are important to us as we work to get a complete
picture of the spread of the disease and condition of the
animals.”
Vinkey said that twelve hunters drew coveted licenses to hunt bighorn
rams in Hunting District 213 this fall, and their hunt will continue.
“We have enough rams to sustain the population and that’s a
good thing for ram hunters,” said Mike Thompson, FWP
regional wildlife manager. “Many hunters never draw a ram
license, and most who do may never get another chance.
Right now, it looks like we can manage the disease along with
ram hunting, and still have enough rams left over for some to
survive a full blown pneumonia outbreak.”
Another 30 hunters drew ewe licenses and were given a chance at a
license refund or to start the hunting season knowing that an early
season closure was a possibility. Hunters that opted to start the season
had a few weeks in the field, and then FWP made the decision to close
the ewe season on Sept. 24 after continuing to detect more diseased
sheep.
Thompson says that the closure was necessary because ewes are essential
to the recovery of the population in the event that a large die-off occurs
later this fall and winter.
FWP cautions sheep hunters across western Montana to cook harvested
sheep meat well and contact FWP with any questions about the
suitability of the meat for consumption. There have been no known cases
of humans or pets contracting pneumonia from wild sheep, but FWP
cautions anyone who finds dead or sick bighorn sheep to leave the
animal alone. FWP also encourages the public to immediately report any
observations of sheep exhibiting symptoms of an illness or strange
behavior.
For more information or to make a report, call FWP in Missoula at 406-

NWTF Adopts Science-BasedWolf Management PositionSEP 27, 2010 02:30P.M.
NWTF Adopts Science-Based Wolf Management Position
Wolf Pup, another example of healthy Wolf Populations in need of
science based management.
National Wild Turkey Federation
EDGEFIELD, SC --(Ammoland.com)- The National Wild Turkey
Federation has officially adopted a position supporting the science-based
management of wolf populations.
“Science has been the backbone of every conservation project
we have ever conducted,” said James Earl Kennamer, Ph.D.,
the NWTF’s chief conservation officer.
“Managing wolf populations is no different.”
The NWTF has long supported the North American Conservation Model,
including the management of fish and wildlife resources under the
authority and responsibility of the various state agencies.
This support holds true for wolf management, as the Federation believes
that state agencies are best suited to manage wildlife inside their borders
that are not on the endangered species list.
NWTF Position Statement on the Management of Wolves
“The National Wild Turkey Federation supports the sound,
science-based management of wolves by the appropriate state
agencies. The NWTF recommends that management
authority for wolves remain with state agencies when wolves
are no longer on the endangered species list. The NWTF
further supports our state wildlife partners in their efforts to
provide for a sustainable, huntable population of wolves
while maintaining healthy, huntable populations of
ungulates. This must work in conjunction with balancing the
habitat needs and conservation of all wildlife.”
About the NWTF:
The National Wild Turkey Federation is a nonprofit conservation
organization that works daily to further its mission of conserving the
wild turkey and preserving our hunting heritage.
Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife
agencies, the NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey
populations across the country, spending more than $331 million to
conserve 15.9 million acres of habitat for all types of wildlife.
The Federation works to increase interest in the outdoors by bringing
new hunters and conservationists into the fold through outdoor
education events and its outreach programs – Women in the Outdoors,
Wheelin’ Sportsmen, JAKES and Xtreme JAKES.
The NWTF was founded in 1973 and is headquartered in Edgefield, S.C.
According to many state and federal agencies, the restoration of the wild
turkey is arguably the greatest conservation success story in North
America’s wildlife history. To learn more, visit www.nwtf.org or call
(800) THE-NWTF.

Timney 870 Trigger Fix

Brownells.com
Des Moines, Iowa – -(Ammoland.com)- Brownells, the world’s largest
supplier of firearms parts has in stock the hottest drop-in upgrade for the
Remington 870 pump shotgun: the Timney 870 Trigger Fix.
Just named a Field & Stream 2010 Best of the Best product, the 870
Trigger Fix Kit (Brownells Stock #883-000-022, $89.99) is designed to
work in all Model 870 shotguns.
Slaton L. White of Field & Stream wrote, “Timney knew that
some Remington 870 owners wanted a cleaner, lighter trigger
pull for more accurate shots. They also wanted a ‘fix’ that
didn’t require a gunsmith. So we now have the Trigger Fix, a
do-it-yourself kit (springs and sear) that lets 870 users
customize their trigger pull. If you can handle a screwdriver,
you can install it.”
The Remington 870 Trigger Fix kit replaces the gun’s original factory
sear and spring for a smoother, lighter, adjustable trigger pull. The kit
comes with three different spring weights to lower the heavy factory
trigger pull to a comfortable 2, 3, or 4 pounds. Springs are color-coded
for easy identification. Using an included hex-head wrench, the shooter
may then fine-tune the trigger-pull weight using a built-in adjustment
screw.
To order, or for more information, see Brownells Catalog 63, page 490,

A Whimbrel with the tracking device attached
Georgia Department of Natural Resources
BRUNSWICK, Ga. --(Ammoland.com)- After an amazing journey, the
pigeon-sized shorebird has settled down in the remote Coppename
Monding Nature Preserve in the South American country of Suriname.
The rest is deserved. The bird, a whimbrel, has just traveled more than
4,700 miles, including nearly 3,500 miles nonstop in five days!
While whimbrels are known for long-distance migrations, it has been
unclear how exactly far they fly and where they go after leaving Georgia.
Until now.
Chinquapin, one of two whimbrels fitted with radio transmitters in
Georgia in May, is providing key information about the species’
migration patterns to Georgia Department of Natural Resources
biologists and other partners in the study at the Center for Conservation
Biology at the College of William & Mary.
After leaving the Georgia coast, the tagged whimbrels flew north to
Hudson Bay in Canada, one of them nonstop. Transmitter data shows
that Chinquapin ended up approximately 350 miles west of the bay,
below the Arctic Circle in the Northwest Territories.
Chinquapin departed this summer territory for Coats Island in Hudson
Bay during the second week of July and stayed there until early August.
At Coats Island, he geared up for the next leg of what would become a
marathon migration flight.
During the early morning hours of Aug. 5, Chinquapin flew 600 miles
south over Hudson Bay, then continued down the length of James Bay,
over Quebec, over Maine and finally out over the open Atlantic Ocean.
Tropical Storm Colin was pumping north toward Bermuda as
Chinquapin headed south. He appears to have skirted the storm’s
cyclonic winds by swinging 300 miles east of Bermuda on Aug. 8. His
transmitter beeped next from the beaches of northwest Puerto Rico on
Aug. 10 near Playa de Isabela – a nonstop journey of 3,470 miles. That’s
the equivalent of flying about five days around-the-clock from Boston to
Anchorage, Alaska.
The small bird was not finished, though. After a two-week rest, he
headed 1,300 miles south over the island of Grenada to Suriname, his
current location.
Although from only one bird, the information received is invaluable, said
Brad Winn, a program manager with the DNR Wildlife Resources
Division’s Nongame Conservation Section.
“Chinquapin is just one tagged whimbrel, but it is important
to remember that these are gregarious birds, so it is likely he
is flying in a flock,” Winn said. “His movements also
represent thousands of other smaller shorebirds that make
similar flights from the Arctic to South America and back.
“It is pretty mind-boggling that a bird the size of a pigeon can
leave subarctic Canada and go nonstop to the beaches of
Puerto Rico. It is an amazing journey and it is something to
be awed and admired. We don’t know if he will stay at his
current site – whimbrels are known to spend winters on both
coasts – so it will be interesting to see where he goes.”
The transmitter-toting whimbrels are not only showing scientists the
resources they and their kind need to exist, such as seasonal foods and
nesting habitat, they are also reminders that maintaining the health of
coastal landscapes has implications beyond state lines and even national
borders. Whimbrels and many other species of shorebirds are in Georgia
by the thousands for a short period each year.
“These global migrants visit us on their migratory trek for
about six weeks each spring to feast on the fiddler crabs in
our marshes,” Winn said. “The energy they get from our crabs
supports them during the next 2,000- to 3,000-mile leg of
their annual migration. If our marshes are destroyed or
become polluted, the crabs will be gone and this vital link in
the migratory chain will be lost.
“We have a responsibility to be good stewards of our coastal
habitats for birds that call the entire Western Hemisphere
home.”
Whimbrels are a high-priority species in Georgia’s State Wildlife Action
Plan, a comprehensive strategy that guides DNR efforts to conserve
biological diversity.
Georgians can help conserve whimbrels and other nongame wildlife,
native plants and natural habitats through buying a wildlife license plate
featuring a bald eagle or a ruby-throated hummingbird. They can also
donate to the Georgia Wildlife Conservation Fund through the state
income tax checkoff or online at www.georgiawildlife.com. Contributions
are vital to the Nongame Conservation Section, which receives no state
general funds for its mission to help conserve wildlife not legally hunted,
fished for or trapped, as well as rare plants and natural habitats in

Congressional Sportsmen’sCaucus Fights Proposed Ban ofLead Fishing TackleSEP 27, 2010 01:42P.M.
Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus Fights Proposed Ban of
Lead Fishing Tackle
Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation
Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- Seventy-eight members of the
Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) signed a letter delivered last
Thursday to Lisa Jackson, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), urging the agency to dismiss the petition to
ban the use of lead in fishing products.
The CSC members state in the letter, “There are 60 million
recreational anglers in America that contribute $125 billion
to our economy annually, and penalizing these men, women
and children that are the best stewards of our environment,
as well as the financial backbone to fish and wildlife
conservation in our country, would be a terrible and
unnecessary injustice.”
The CSC letter comes on the heels of a similar letter to Administrator
Jackson requesting dismissal of the petition, sent on September 15, from
the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) and its partner
members of the American Wildlife Conservation Partners (AWCP) and
sportfishing communities. (See EPA Denies Petition Calling for Lead
Ammunition Ban)
“This issue is about protecting America’s 60 million
recreational anglers, and this attempt to ban lead based
fishing tackle could potentially drive up cost and serve as a
disincentive for Americans to fish,” said CSF President Jeff
Crane.
The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA), representing the
50 state fish and wildlife agencies, also sent a letter the EPA on
September 2nd urging them to dismiss the petition.
State fish and wildlife agencies are authorized to manage most of a
state’s fish and wildlife, and therefore, closely monitor and address any
local concerns about lead based fishing tackle and any potential impacts
on local species. A federal ban on lead fishing tackle is not only
unnecessary, but intrudes upon these traditional state agencies
jurisdiction.
No scientific basis has been established to warrant any such ban on
traditional fishing equipment. A similar proposal to ban lead fishing
tackle was dismissed by the EPA in the mid-1990s because there was
insufficient data to support such a ban at that time.

American Handgunner: Time For A Reality Check
American Handgunner: Reality Check 2011 Issue
FMG Publications
San Diego, Calif. --(Ammoland.com)- When it comes to planning
survival resources, water should be at the very top of your list.
It’s a medical fact most people can survive for weeks without food;
however, after only a few days without water, some very bad things start
happening to your body due to dehydration.
As such, American Handgunner Reality Check Special Edition
contributing editor Michael Janich addresses this critical issue in his
article, “Water, Water Everywhere: Can You Drink It?”
Janich’s multi-layered approach goes beyond stored cases of bottled
water. He teaches readers how to tap into untraditional water resources
and make it safe to drink. Like any other survival issue, the best time to
prepare your water plan is now.
“In addition to drinking water considerations, you should
also develop primary and backup plans for water to be used
for cooking, personal hygiene and sanitation during a critical
incident,” writes Janich.
“Assemble the tools, material and knowledge you need and
take a few hours to go through the process at least once. In a
real survival situation that experience and the confidence it
provides could save your life.”
Janich’s article represents one of the dozen-plus survival-driven articles
in the 2011 Reality Check Special Edition. With the idea that survival
preparedness isn’t one-size-fits-all.
The magazine features topics such as:
• Menu For Survival: A Realistic Approach
• Stronghold: One Man’s Plan to Protect His Family
• Emergency Box: Every Vehicle Should Have One
• Lifesaving Modular Kit: Don’t Head Out Without It
• Young Guns: Teaching Kids To Shoot
• Carrying Concealed: Are You Responsible Enough?
• and much more.
“If you are like me, you want to arm yourself with the tools,
supplies and knowledge needed to survive life-threatening
situations,” said editor Sammy Reese.
“Our Reality Check Special Edition is a survival guide for the
real world. It’s a sobering read, but it’s a must read. “From
surviving in the woods, to surviving on the streets, we address
the plans you need to put in place and the tools you have to
have. At the end of the day, you have to decide what’s the best
survival plan for your family, but our Special Edition is the
best place to start.”
The 2011 Buyer’s Guide, is also included in the magazine. The Buyer’s
Guide features 94 pages of guns, knives and more survival tools.
American Handgunner Reality Check is available now, while supplies
last. To order online visit, www.americanhandgunner.com and follow the
Special Editions link from the store menu.

2010 PRPA SERVICE PISTOLCHAMPIONSHIPSEP 27, 2010 01:15P.M.
2010 PRPA SERVICE PISTOL CHAMPIONSHIP
By Jeffrey Lloyd, Pistol Director
Pennsylvania Rifle and Pistol Association
Butler, PA --(Ammoland.com)- The 2010 Service Pistol Championship
match was held at the Lewistown Pistol Club on June 18 -19, 2010.
The match was broken into 2 sections, the first being a regular 1800
point possible matches, starting with .22 pistol and then Center Fire
Pistols.
The second stage was fired with Service Pistols, either 1911 .45 caliber
pistols, or Beretta M9 9mm pistols. Either pistol is permitted, but they
can only be altered for accuracy and the triggers must be adjusted to a 4
pound trigger pull weight.
Outwardly they must look military issue except for adjustable sights. If a
person did not want to participate in the Service Pistol section, they
could shoot along with a .45 pistol but their score would not be included
in the Service Pistol aggregate.
There were 2 competitors in the High Master Classification, there were 7
in competition in the Master Classification, 11 competitors in the Expert
Classification, 6 in the Sharpshooter Classification, and 7 in the
Marksman Classification for a total of 33 shooters.
Brian Keyser Penn State Service Pistol Champion
The first segment of the match was fired with .22 caliber pistols, in a
regular 900 possible point match. That match was won by Lewistown‘s
own Jerry Ford with a score of 880-30x. Jerry is a classified Master and
led the way for all. The High Master winner was Brian Keyser of
Birdsboro, PA. Brian fired a score of 877-38x.
In the Expert Class, the high score was posted by Heim Trang from
Germantown, MD. Heim fired a score of 872-32x. In the Sharp-shooter
Class, top honors went to Tim Burris of Mifflintown, PA. Tim fired an
850-30x. In the Marksman Class the high score was posted by Jon Caley,
out of York, PA. Jon fired a score of 847-23x. These last 2 shooters
should be watching the mail for their new classification cards! Both are
going to move up quickly firing scores like these!
The next segment was the Center Fire match. Again the match winner
came from the Mas-ter Class. Tom Mix from Ebensburg, PA was the
Center Fire match winner with a score of 867-26x. The top High Master
was Joe Urish, from Butler, PA. Joe fired a score of 866-30x. In the
Expert Class Heim Trang again posted the top score. Heim fired 852-28x
to lead all Experts. In the Sharpshooter Class, Tim Burris came out on
top again with an 816-11x. In the Marksman Class top honors went to
Jon Caley with a score of 812-18x.
Next came the State Service Pistol Championship. This match is fired in
a 900 possible point match, just as the .22 and CF stages are fired. This
match determines not only the State Champion, but also the members of
the PRPA Service Pistol Team that will compete at the National Matches
at Camp Perry in July. The members of the team are picked by the top 5
shooters (that are going to Perry) and the 6th shooter is the ―New
Shooter.
This shooter is a member that has not been on a CMP team in the past.
Every year a ―New Shooter must be picked, and that shooter must fire

in the Team Competition at Camp Perry. The other 3 shooters are
determined by the scores fired during the individual matches fired at
Camp Perry earlier on Sunday July 18th. They have much to live up to as
the 2009 PRPA Service Pistol Team was the Na-tional Champion Civilian
Team.
There were 21 competitors who participated in the Service Pistol
Championship. After the smoke cleared and the scores were totaled up,
Brian Keyser was firmly on top of the board. Brian fired a score of 836-
23x to lead all shooters and claim his first PRPA State Service Pistol
Cham-pionship! Second place went to Joe Urish. In third was Steve
Gibbons from Lewistown, PA.
The members of the PRPA Service Pistol Team at Camp Perry as
determined by the match scores are as follows. Joe Urish, Steve Gibbons,
Tom Mix, Brian Dean, Dennis Kriek, and the ―New Shooter is Kirk
Anderson of State College, PA. It is the custom that the State Champion
is named the team captain for the team. This year Brian will not be able
to go to Camp Perry. Also some familiar names of shooters that will not
be competing at Camp Perry in 2010 are Patrick Kelly Jr and Russ
Wallander. We are going to miss all of them at Perry, both as members of
the PRPA Teams and, as good friends and competitors. Here‘s hoping
that they will be back in 2011!
In addition to the regular match there was a CMP EIC match fired, This
match was won by Brian Keyser with a score of 283-10x. The top score by
a Non-Distinguished shooter was posted by Anthony Brong from
Harrisburg, PA. Tony fired a score of 259-4x. Then a Distinguished Re-
volver match was conducted. The winner of this match was again Brian
Keyser. Brian tops the field with a score of 273-8. The top scoring non-
distinguished shooter was Steven Welsh of Stroudsburg, PA. Steve
posted a score of 253-2x
Congratulations Brian Keyser, State Service Pistol Champion, and we
wish you many more wins! Good luck to the shooters on the PRPA
Service Pistol Team at Camp Perry!
We want to commend the Lewistown Pistol Club for their continuing
support of the shooters of Pennsylvania! Not only was the match run in a
very professional and cordial manner, but the club put together a nice
assortment of door prizes with 2 Springfield Armory pistols as prizes!
We look forward to working with the club in the future in this
and all competitions they plan! Good Shooting!

Canadian Gun Grabbers – Bunch of hosers doon’t cha knoow?
By Steve Lee Parsons, Director
Pennsylvania Rifle and Pistol Association
Butler, PA --(Ammoland.com)- I just returned from visiting a relative
in Canada. Since we were traveling to a remote part of Canada, I decided,
as in the past, to bring along a rifle and ammo.
I filled out the appropriate one page Canadian Customs Firearms
Declaration form. When I told the agent at the border crossing that I was
bringing in a rifle, he looked alarmed and asked “what for?” “Protection
from wildlife” was my response, which is one of the stated purposes on
their Customs form.
“Well”, he replied. “They probably won’t let you in, because
you have no need, but drive over to the Customs office”.
When I presented my Customs form I had to undergo a third degree
questioning. Then the Customs agent asked to see the rifle (never
experienced that before, but certainly a reasonable request).
He must have measured the barrel 3 times, and finally stamped the form
and let us proceed into Canada with my rifle.
If you try to smuggle a handgun into Canada, you face arrest and
confiscation of your vehicle.

Canadian residents are not legally allowed to own or carry any handguns,
tasers, etc. for personal defense, or any business purpose. Canadian
police officials in most localities have to check out and turn back in their
handguns at a shift change.
You can own a rifle or shotgun, with severe limitations, although there is
currently legislation on the books requiring registration of same.
Remember, in 1929 all German citizens were required to register their
firearms, then in 1935, the Gestapo came and confiscated firearms, then
a few years later, they came back, arrested some of the prior owners, and
killed them, because they figured, once a gun owner, always a gun
owner!
You cannot purchase any ammo in Canada, down to .22 caliber, without
a license. This is European, Progressive, UN type gun grabbing at its
finest, and it’s just a few few hours away from us.
Thank God, James Madison, and the Supreme Court for our
2nd Amendment rights.

Why Can’t My Rifle MaintainThat Perfect Zero?SEP 27, 2010 11:21A.M.
Why Can’t My Rifle Maintain That Perfect Zero?
Horus Vision
San Bruno, CA --(Ammoland.com)- A question we receive more than
often is, “How do I maintain that perfect zero once I’ve already done it? I
seem to keep losing it.”
Keeping a perfect zero is tough, because there are a combination of
mechanical and physiological factors that can alter the configuration of
the relationship with the scope and gun.
Above is a video of the president of Horus Vision with a simple guide to
zeroing your riflescope.
What changes your zero?
Cleaning
When you clean your gun, you are moving parts around, which most
likely will shift your alignment
Tightening
Any time you tighten:
• Screws
• Rings
• Pillar Bolts
You are again shifting the original alignment, especially if you do not
apply equal distribution of torque on component parts
To avoid unequal distribution, a torque tool is a good way to tighten
everything up equally.

Today’s Tabbloid PERSONAL NEWS FOR [email protected] 28 September 2010
17
Mixing Ammo
To maintain the perfect zero, you cannot switch up the ammunition. You
have to shoot with the same brand, types, and weights.
Temperature
Dramatic ranges of temperature will change your zero, because the air
density affects the velocity of the bullet. With increased temperature,
there is a higher velocity.
Personal Shooting Practices
If you change up any of the following, you will most likely alter your zero:
• Having another individual shoot the gun for you
• Holding loose vs. tight on the shoulder
• Holding loose vs. tight on the cheek weld
Differing your Gun Rest
Be sure to use the same kind of gun rest, whether it is a sand bag,
mechanical rest, box, etc. It should be stable and easy to repeat the same
position each time.
Transportation of Weapon
Even if you don’t mishandle your weapon in the slightest, it is possible
that a shift of zero could occur.
• Turret knobs Not Covered
If the turret knobs are not protected, they can rub against clothing, gear,
storage bags, scabbard, etc. If the knobs turn, it will definitely shift over
your alignment and cause your point of impact to be off.
Defective scope
Having a defective scope is a possibility, but it is not likely. If you have
taken conscientious efforts to avoid any of the above in your shooting
endeavors and you still aren’t accomplishing that zero, then maybe you
really do have a defective scope and need to get that checked!

Pennsylvania Self DefenseRights Are On The LineSEP 27, 2010 11:08A.M.
Pennsylvania Self Defense Rights Are On The Line
Critical Legislative Alert Support Castle Doctrine law
At Issue: Discharge Petition and Floor Action – House Bill 40
Allegheny County Sportsmen’s League
McDonald, PA --(Ammoland.com)- For nearly 6 years we have ‘all’
been working to improve the use of force laws (known as Castle
Doctrine) here in Pennsylvania so that gun owners would feel that they
would be treated fairly ‘if’ they have to use force to defend their families
with lethal force.
Unfortunately we have been frustrated by the idiosyncrasies of
Pennsylvania politics. Again, we want ‘nothing more’ than what other
states have: reasonable legislation that will provide important
protections for ‘law-abiding’ citizens who must use protective force
when confronting criminals. Thousands of volunteer organizations’
dollars and thousands of man-hours have been dedicated to this effort.
Grassroots leaders of Pennsylvania gun rights organizations have bent
over backwards trying to be fair in a good faith effort to accommodate
critics of this important legislation.
Sadly, this legislation has been held hostage by a shrill
minority in the legislature consisting of the Philadelphia
Legislative caucus and certain agencies.
They are using their political connections to thwart the desire of the
people. The people want a vote and they want this bill on the governor’s
desk for signature ASAP-THIS SESSION. It is unconscionable to have
tremendously popular legislation, with nearly 2/3 of the House of
Representatives as co-sponsors, be denied a timely, fair, and honest vote.
The Pennsylvania organizations that support this legislation (identified
below) are fully aware of the parliamentary options that are available to
leadership to advance this legislation and we ask your support to

Our organizations are receiving many complaints from individual gun
owners, such as you, about legislative ambivalence and antipathy
towards this concept and HB 40. Our members, officers, and board
members insist upon a more proactive stance and firm and definitive
action on the part of legislators whom we have supported. To this end we
know there will be a vote on a discharge petition in the House of
Representatives on Monday, September 27, and we encourage you to
stress the importance of their support for not only this effort but also any
other effort to advance House Bill 40 (Castle doctrine) through the
legislative process in the next few coming days.
The bill will be much more likely to pass and be put on the Governor’s
desk IF we can count on you to generate help support. We know this is a
last minute request and apologize for it but the broken promises of
certain legislators in leadership has intentionally, we believe, left us with
little time to maneuver. We have tried every reasonable method to break
HB 40 free of this legislative log jam without bothering you, to no avail.
Now we are asking for your help once again!
**Please contact your legislator and members of the House of
Representatives leadership and let them know that you not only support
this legislation but that you want them to ‘swiftly’ move it through the
House to the Senate and to the Governor.
To Review: The Bill: HB 40 does not change the use of force
requirements. What it does do is eliminate the honest citizen’s duty to
retreat when confronted by violent criminals and provide honest citizens
with legal protection if they defend themselves from criminals. It
contains an anti-carjacking provision that will change state law so that if
a criminal illegally and forcibly enters an occupied vehicle, the
presumption is that he intends to harm the passengers. Protections
against civil actions are also provided, should your assailant or his
relatives sue you for harming the criminal when you defended yourself
and this includes protections for law enforcement as well.
This legislation has been enacted in twenty three states and eighteen of
these states have also enacted ‘No Duty to Retreat’ and is pending in
even more. Crime is down in these states.
Killers are more concerned about law-abiding citizens than police having
firearms. This was proven in the Wright-Rossi study and more recently
by the example that the Columbine killers (Dylan and Klebold) “shared
opposition to a bill in the state legislature that would have made it
easier to carry concealed weapons” (NYT, 6/29/1999).
The grassroots organizations in support of this bill are listed below:
1. Allegheny County Sportsmen’s League (ACSL),
2. Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs (PFSC),
3. Pennsylvania Sportsmen’s Association (PSA),
4. National Rifle Association (NRA),

Taser Is Sued by Inventor James McNulty for Patent
Infringement
One of world’s largest aerospace manufacturers may have financial
interest in suit.
Wireless TASER Shell Ammunition
AmmoLand Gun News
LAS VEGAS, NV --(Ammoland.com)- Inventor James McNulty, a
senior member of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, who was a
member of the research staff of the late TASER inventor John “Jack”
Cover and instrumental in development of the early law enforcement
model TASERS, today announced that he has sued Taser International,
Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR) for patent infringement for its nascent production
of wireless TASER shells, that can be discharged from conventional
firearms (federal case docket no. 2:09-cv-00289-KJD-PAL).
The suit claims that Taser sells the shells in violation of McNulty’s
“5,831,199″ and “6,877,434″ patents. The suit seeks an injunction
against further sales, compensatory, exemplary (punitive) and enhanced
damages and attorney’s fees. A case filing lists the aerospace giant BAE
Systems, Ltd., manufacturer of the Harrier Jump Jet, and its affiliate
Defense Technology Corporation as entities that may have a direct
financial interest in the successful outcome of McNulty’s case.
Documents produced in the suit and other public filings show that
affiliates of a number of the world’s 10 largest defense contractors are
potential competitors of Taser for any substantial military markets that
may develop for less lethal electronic shock weapons.
Documents produced in the suit show that one affiliate has already
developed in competition with Taser’s X12 and X RAIL a combination
weapon, that fires ammunition cartridges that can also be
interchangeably fired from and sold as replacement ammunition for
Taser’s X26 and M26 stun pistols, and that the affiliate has already
manufactured stocks of thousands of the ammunition rounds.
McNulty, a 27 year participant in the industry commented,
“Documents already produced in the case show that this
competitive ammunition technology has application in the
law enforcement market for TASERS and TASER
ammunition. Securities and Exchange Commission filings
show that resale of ammunition for the over 359,000 M26
and X26 stun pistols, which have been sold by Taser to the
law enforcement market, is a significant source of revenue for
the company. In its last reported quarter ending June 30,
2010, Taser’s ammunition cartridge sales accounted for over
25% of its total business. Taser has no basic patents that
prevent any other company from manufacturing and selling
competing ammunition for the X26 and M26 products.
The prospect in my opinion is that Taser shall fight for ever
smaller shares of competitively diminishing law enforcement
and military markets for projectile stun guns and
ammunition and against interest of such behemoth
enterprises. Taser’s Securities and Exchange Commission
filings show that many of Taser’s assets are plant and
equipment, intellectual property and inventory for
manufacture and sale of its current line of stun pistols and
ammo. The value of these types of assets can quickly vaporize
with advent of new competitive electronic control device
technologies. I shall vigorously protect my advanced IP in
this field for its licensees/prospective licensees.”
