Championships.
Steel Challenge Shooting Association
PIRU, Calif. –-(Ammoland.com)- The man whose name is synonymous
with Smith & Wesson, Jerry Miculek, proved once again why he is the
world’s greatest revolver shooter with his Open Sight Revolver (OSR)
win and third place overall finish at the 2010 Steel Challenge World
Speed Shooting Championships.
In Friday’s OSR match Miculek won all eight stages and outpaced
runner-up Eric Leach by more than 25 seconds with his final time of
86.10 seconds.
Then on Saturday, Miculek, who again shot his open revolver, shaved
another 2.22 seconds off his time to finish third overall in the Open
division with a final time of 83.88 seconds.
“The speed at which Jerry shoots is one that few can achieve.
Factor in that he’s doing it with a revolver and you get just a
glimpse of how truly impressive Jerry’s accomplishments are
in the shooting sports,” said Dave Thomas, executive director
of the Steel Challenge Shooting Association which is the
national governing body for the sport.
In the OSR contests Leach finished with a time of 111.39. Third place
went to Mark Itzstein who shot a time of 113.61.
Rounding out the top five in the division were Mark Terry in fourth with
117.98 seconds and Todd Crow in fifth with 119.89.
Miculek’s OSR win was one of nine titles won by the Smith & Wesson
shooting team during the 2010 Steel Challenge.

Rock River Arms
Colona, IL --(Ammoland.com)- Rock River Arms has the reputation for
producing top quality AR15s.
What sets Rock River Arms apart from the competition is their versatility
to produce and innovate weapons to such rigorous specifications.
The Rock River Arms PDS Pistol is the first of a new generation of
firearms employing Rock River Arms’ patent-pending Piston Driven

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.
The two position adjustable regulator is conveniently positioned on the
right side of the regulator housing.
The New PDS Pistol has a full length top mounting rail from the rear of
the receiver to the regulator housing, allowing flexible placement of
numerous optics, lights, lasers and other accessories. The folding
ambidextrous, non-reciprocating charging handles may be used
independently or in unison to charge the RRA PDS Pistol. The RRA PDS
Pistol features a MS1913 rail on the rear receiver adaptor as well as an
MS1913 rail on the regulator housing which allows sling or weapons
mounting capabilities. The handguard features an integral Operator
Safety Flange to help prevent support-hand movement/slippage towards
the muzzle.
The RRA PDS Pistol Specifications:
• Caliber: 5.56 NATO Chamber for 5.56mm & .223 cal.
• Upper: Proprietary, with Extended Top Rail
• Charging Handle: Proprietary Ambidextrous Non-Reciprocating

Steel Challenge Shooting Association
PIRU, Calif. –-(Ammoland.com)- Smith & Wesson’s B.J. Norris
outgunned two-time World Speed Shooting Champion Rob Leatham of
Springfield Armory to win the Production division title at the 2010 Steel
Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships this past weekend in
Piru, California.
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

Long Gun Registration – Last Chance to Kill a Bad Bill Before
its the Law
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.
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. [a defacto registration of gun owners]
AB 1810 could come up for a vote on the Senate Floor at any time. Please
help COHA stop AB 1810 by immediately submitting a letter of
opposition to your Legislator and the full Senate.

Delta Waterfowl and COHA Board Member regarding the possible
impacts of AB 1810. Video Link
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.
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.
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]
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.
The California Outdoor Heritage Alliance (COHA) will continue to fight
this intrusive and unnecessary measure on the Senate Floor. If you
would like to assist COHA in defeating this bill in the Senate, please
contact your Senate representative.

State Senate Sample Letter
insert date
The Honorable YOUR STATE SENATOR
RE: AB 1810 (Feuer) – Oppose
Dear YOUR STATE SENATOR:
I am writing to oppose AB 1810 (Feuer), which would require
the registration of all newly purchased firearms, including
shotguns and rifles commonly used for hunting purposes.
More specifically, AB 1810 would require the Attorney
General of California to permanently keep and maintain a
firearms registry that includes extensive personal
information of all firearms purchasers. Under AB 1810, those
who purchase a firearm will be required to register that
firearm by submitting their name, address, place of birth,
phone number, occupation, and sex 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.
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.
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME

“The word Pinnacle congers up visions of being at the top of

Smith & Wesson JuniorShooters, Crow, Sarabia andSmith Score Steel ChallengeWinsAUG 27, 2010 02:11P.M.
Smith & Wesson Junior Shooters, Crow, Sarabia and Smith
Score Steel Challenge Wins
Janae Sarabia finished third among all women in the Open division.
Steel Challenge Shooting Association
PIRU, Calif. –-(Ammoland.com)- As a sign of things to come, three
junior shooters on the Smith & Wesson shooting team, Janae Sarabia,
Molly Smith and Rachel Crow each claimed wins at this year’s Steel
Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships in Piru, California.
Janae Sarabia finished with the second best score of any of the Smith &
Wesson women with her Open division performance where she won the
Junior Women’s Open title and finished third among all women. Her
final time of 112.65 seconds put her just 3.87 seconds behind teammate
and second place shooter Kay Miculek, and 11.15 seconds behind the
winner and defending champion Jessie Abbate.
“I didn’t shoot as well as I’d hoped but I’m pretty satisfied
with my finish, especially on Outer Limits where I shot one of
my best times,” said Sarabia.
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.
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.
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.
The Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships were held
August 19-21 in Piru, Calif. For more information on the Steel Challenge

Modern Day Hunting Action Hero, Tom Miranda, Moves Two
Shows From ESPN2 to Sportsman Channel
Whitetail Country and Territories Wild to Air on Sportsman Channel
Starting in 2011.
Sportsman Channel
New Berlin, Wis --(Ammoland.com)- Known worldwide for his
hunting prowess of all big-game species, Tom Miranda, also an author,
famous trapper and long-time television host and producer, is bringing
his two iconic hunting shows, Whitetail Country and Territories Wild to
Sportsman Channel, the leader in outdoor TV for the American
Sportsman, starting in July 2011.
The addition of Miranda’s two HD-produced shows adds to Sportsman’s
already stellar lineup of high-quality, educational and entertaining HD
programming. This news comes on the heels of archery titans, Easton
and Muzzy Broadheads, moving their shows exclusively to the network in
2011 as well.
“Tom Miranda’s shows are our version of ‘must-see’ TV in the
outdoor world,” said Sportsman Channel CEO Gavin Harvey.
“Tom’s decision to bring Whitetail Country and Territories
Wild to Sportsman is another indication that we are
delivering on our promise to offer the absolute best in
outdoor programming.”
“I am excited to bring my flagship shows to Sportsman
Channel next year,” said Miranda. “We filmed some amazing,
up-close-and-personal hunts this year that I can’t wait to
share with their audience. Rest assured, the viewers won’t be
disappointed!”
Sportsman Channel boasts the most authoritative personalities and
shows available today in the outdoor television market. Over the past

support of independent producers, and launched an HD feed with more
than 50 percent of the current programming in HD. Recent distribution
launches include Comcast systems in Denver, Atlanta and Portland.
Whitetail Country
Whitetail Country dives into various geological parts of the whitetail
woods, as well as applicable techniques and strategies for the region.
Alongside Miranda, viewers will enjoy industry veterans like Bill Jordan
of Realtree, bowhunter Hall of Famer Chuck Adams and premier deer
hunter Greg Miller.
In Territories Wild, Miranda explores dangerous terrain, hunts the “big
six” in Africa, and takes on the Super Slam across the globe. No matter
the species, Miranda dives into tactics and strategies so viewers can learn
the who, what and where of bowhunting for big game.
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. Hunting
whitetails one week, ducks the next, Miranda brought his own twist of
adventure to each show by adding some adrenaline excitement. Bungee
jumping, skydiving, top gun school…if it was exciting and
dangerous…Tom Miranda was doing it. Learn more at

Pioneer Arizona Living History Museum
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.
The Ben Avery Shooting Facility has been in operation since 1960. It is
rated a Five-Star facility by the National Association of Shooting Ranges,
has been designated a Phoenix Point of Pride, and supports more than
200,000 visitor days annually. The facility is owned by the Arizona
Game and Fish Commission and professionally managed and operated
by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. It provides a safe, controlled
environment that supports recreational and competitive shooting, as
well as a venue for law enforcement training, military training, hunter
education, beginning and advanced firearms training, and CCW training.
Ben Avery serves local, state, national and international shooters and
events. Recent high-profile events hosted at the facility include the 2008
U.S. Olympic Archery Trials, the 2010 U.S. Skeet Open, the annual
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. If anyone believes that they have been discriminated
against in any of the AGFD’s programs or activities, including
employment practices, they may file a complaint with the Director’s
Office, 5000 W. Carefree Highway, Phoenix, AZ 85086-5000, (602) 942-
3000, or with the Fish and Wildlife Service, 4040 N. Fairfax Dr. Ste. 130,
Arlington, VA 22203. Persons with a disability may request a reasonable
accommodation or this document in an alternative format by contacting
the Director’s Office as listed above.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Ishikawa Holds Off Trio of Smith & Wesson Shooters For Steel
Challenge Wheelgun Win
Seiichi Ishikawa held off three of Smith & Wesson’s best revolver
shooters, to take the Iron Sight Revolver title at the 2010 Steel Challenge
World Speed Shooting Championships...
Steel Challenge Shooting Association
SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. --(Ammoland.com)- PIRU, Calif. – In the
closest match of the Steel Challenge, where just 1.26 seconds separated
the first place shooter from the fourth, Seiichi Ishikawa held off three of
Smith & Wesson’s best revolver shooters, Elliot Aysen, John Bagakis and
David Olhasso, to take the Iron Sight Revolver title at the 2010 Steel
Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships in Piru, California.
Ishikawa, who did not win a single stage during the competition, shot a
solid match from start to finish and posted a final, winning time of
119.59 seconds to edge out the second place Olhasso. Olhasso, who won
three stages in the match, posted a final time of 120.05 seconds.
“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.”
Third place went to Bagakis, the three-time IRC champion, who won just
one stage but finished with a time of 120.20 seconds.
Finishing fourth was Michel Tanita who also won three stages on his way
to a final time of 120.85 seconds. Rounding out the top five was Aysen
who won a single stage and ended with 131.01 seconds.
Among the lady shooters, Team Smith & Wesson’s Molly Smith, a junior
shooter, edged out fellow S&W teammate Annette Aysen, wife of Elliot
Aysen, to take the Women’s Iron Sight Revolver title. Smith posted a
final time of 137.05 seconds to Aysen’s 140.70.
Claiming the Senior Iron Sight Revolver title was John Maxwell who shot
the match in a time of 158.34 seconds.

U.S. Army Marksmanship Soldiers Return Home With
Multiple Shooting Titles
By Michael Molinaro
USAMU PAO
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.
United States Army Marksmanship Unit
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.”
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 high-
powered 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.
