USPSA European Annual


CvrEuroann09.jpg Front Sight is reaching out to Europe's IPSC shooting community with a special issue. The "European Annual" is being distributed right now at matches across Western Europe. Most of our targeted matches happen in May, but a few will come along afterwards in case we missed you. Thanks to our advertisers, we'll be giving away more than 3,000 copies of Front Sight. Look for us at the following matches: The STI European Open (Germany), The French National Championships, The Czech Extreme Open (CZR), The Montenegro Open, The Benelux Open (Netherlands), The Sandaknallen (Sweden), the Kongsvinger Open (Norway), the European Steel Challenge (Netherlands), and at a handful of smaller matches in the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK. Appropriately, Saul Kirsch graces the cover of Front Sight's first European issue. Saul captains the STI Euro team, but is well-known to American USPSA/IPSC shooters thanks to his frequent visits to the United States. He's shown here competing in the USPSA Open Nationals in Missoula, Montana. (Photo by Robin Taylor.) Download a copy of the European annual here [.pdf].

TechwearUSA donated all of the competitor shirts our gold medal U.S. team wore at World Shoot XV in Bali, Indonesia. A heartfelt thanks is owed them for their unfailing promotion of practical shooting and their part in this year's winning effort. This is the second World Shoot that TechwearUSA has generously supported the U.S. contingent as they compete against the world's best Practical Shooters. Bob Novak of TechwearUSA commented, "We plan to continue to support the U.S. World Shoot Team and USPSA matches as we have done from the start."


We have sold out of the World Shoot XV shirts.
