NRA Youth Hunter Education Challenge May 14 2010
Event designed to enhance skills already learned in hunter education
classes.
Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks
WICHITA, KS --(Ammoland.com)- On Saturday, May 14, the Chisholm
Trail Antique Gun Association (CTAGA) will conduct their annual NRA
Youth Hunter Education Challenge (YHEC) beginning with check-in at
7:30 a.m. and running throughout the day.
The event will take place at the CTAGA Gun Range, northeast of Wichita

69th Street North in Wichita.
Youth 18 years old and younger are encouraged to attend the event. All
participants must have completed a basic state hunter education course
and present proof of hunter education certification. No prior hunting
experience is required, but participants must be able to shoulder and
control firearms.
Participants will compete in junior (age 14 and younger) or senior (age 15
through 18) categories. While the YHEC has a competitive side, the focus
of the program is the personal challenge of improvement and the
advancement of skills introduced in a basic hunter education course.
1
Challenge events include the following:
• shotgun course with clay targets, 12- and 20- gauge shotguns only,
no adjustable cheek stocks or butt plates;

caliber or smaller) and respective balls and patches. In-line
muzzleloaders with saboted bullets allowed but bullets and
supplies not provided. No scopes allowed.

yards. Equipment is limited to rifles designed for field use and
hunting. Scopes no greater than 4X are allowed. High-velocity .22
ammo will be provided;
• archery course with 3-D game animal targets from 5 to 40 yards.
Participants may bring their own bows and arrows. Some
equipment restrictions include no more than six sight pins, no
magnified sights, only one stabilizer 12 inches or shorter, field
points only. Recurve bows will be provided. All compound bows
will be shot at the longer distances. Compound bow shooters must
bring their own arrows.
• wildlife identification to test knowledge of Kansas wildlife from
animal mounts, hides, bird wings, tracks, horns/antlers, and other
evidence. No identification guides are allowed.
• safety trail to test safe hunting and gun handling skills, game laws,
and hunter ethics.
The cost of registration is $15, which includes all ammunition. (Do not
bring ammunition unless allowed on above list.) All equipment and
firearms will be provided if needed. The registration deadline is May 7,
but space is limited, so early registration is encouraged. A light lunch will

Garcia Repeats in 3-Gun Nation Shoot-Off & Wins $5K
Practical Shooting Academy’s Keith Garcia
FNH 3 Gun Nation TV
MESA, Ariz. --(Ammoland.com)- An impromptu victory lap of high-
fives and celebration electrified an already raucous crowd, providing a
fitting snapshot that captured one competitor’s impact on the 3-Gun
Nation Shoot-Off—lightning can, indeed, strike twice.
Practical Shooting Academy’s Keith Garcia defeated Taran Butler in the
final round of the FNH USA 3-Gun Nation Shoot-Off, Presented by
SureFire, following the Superstition Mountain Mystery 3-Gun here
March 27, taking home $5,000 courtesy of Gun Vault.

31 March 2011
Garcia, who won the inaugural 3GN Shoot-Off at the same venue last
year, became the first competitor to defend a Shoot-Off victory, as Event
3 on the 2011 3GN Tour made its first repeat stop in Mesa. And to do so,
Garcia was forced to navigate through an immensely difficult field, one of
four shooters to qualify out of Tactical Optics, which boasted nearly 200
competitors alone.
Garcia then drew Kelly Neal, out of Heavy Metal, a potentially exciting
match-up that fell short as Neal’s shotgun ran empty with a target still
standing, allowing Garcia to cruise through the rifle and pistol arrays to
the win. However, the tension amped up considerably in the semi-finals
when Garcia stepped to the line against arguably the most dominant
shooter in the game today, U.S. AMU’s Daniel Horner.
In that match-up, each competitor laid down tremendously fast shotgun
runs to pull virtually even heading into the rifle arrays, where Garcia
pulled a full plate lead going into pistol. However, Garcia seemingly
struggled to disengage the external safety, allowing Horner to blow past
through the pistol speed plates.
Normally, that would have sealed Garcia’s fate. But in a rare loss of
precision, Horner missed his last plate as Garcia roared past to the stop
plate. Ultimately, the match-up was a full scale roller coaster ride of
emotion for both competitors, leaving Horner stunned and Garcia
intensely animated.
Meanwhile, Butler’s first round match-up paired him against Clint
Upchurch, who has quite suddenly cemented himself as the man to beat
in Open with his third consecutive major victory. Butler defeated
Upchurch before knocking out Heavy Metal Optics’ Adam Popplewell in
an exciting semi-final match-up, setting up the showdown with Garcia.
And in the finals, after battling even through the shotgun arrays, it was
Butler who jumped out to the first lead on the rifle plates, gaining a two-
plate advantage and seemingly headed for his second 3GN win before he
hung up on one rifle plate. That was all the opening Garcia needed, as he
settled in, cleaned the rifle plate rack, and outlasted Butler through the
pistol poppers to the stop plate and the victory.
In the remaining first round match-ups, Popplewell cruised past Heavy
Metal winner Jeff Gross, who was making his 3GN debut, while Horner
cruised to an easy opening-round victory over Chris Sechiatano. The
entire Shoot-Off field, from 2nd through 8th place, received cash payouts
totaling $2,400, courtesy of AP Custom.
Preceding the main event, 3-Gun Nation also debuted a new format with
the inaugural 3-Gun Nation Team Event, presented by Brownells. Taking
the top overall Lady and Junior competitors as Team captains, and then
drawing at random to complete two, three-person teams, the first 3GN
Team Event featured Team Kay Miculek (Lady) versus Team Katie
Harris (Junior).
Harris, who also took top Lady honors in Tactical Optics, remarkably
drew two other women, FNH USA’s Dianna Liedorff and Tasha Hanish,
to complete her team. Meanwhile, Team Kay was filled out with Ernie
Today’s Tabbloid PERSONAL NEWS FOR news@ammoland.com 31 March 2011

Beckwith and Chris Temple.

In the Team Event, it was all Team Katie, as the team captain sprinted
out to the first position and laid down a smoking shotgun run to give her
team the early lead. Hanish maintained a slight edge over Miculek
through the rifle, before Liedorff cruised through the pistol arrays to give
Team Katie the win. For their performance, each member of Team Katie
received a check for $500 from Brownells, while Team Kay was
presented with three Brownells 3-Gun Bags.

The eight-person 3GN Shoot-Off is a format like no other, where

competitors take on reactive shotgun, rifle and pistol targets in a race to
the stop plate. To level the playing field, contestants fired Ruger SR9
semi-automatic pistols, Stag Arms AR-15 rifles and FNH USA SCAR 16s,
SLP shotguns and FNX-9 semi-automatic pistols. Each rifle was fitted
with SureFire Muzzle Brakes and Suppressors, as well as Leupold Mark 4
HAMR optics. Each firearm ran ammunition provided by Federal
Premium.
The next stop on the FNH USA 3-Gun nation Tour, Presented by
SureFire, is during the DPMS-Bushnell Blue Ridge Mountain 3-Gun,
April 29-May 1. The next Shoot-Off venue is the MGM Ironman, June 5-
11, in Parma, Idaho

Wichita Youth Wins Junior Duck Stamp Contest
Detailed pencil drawing of American wigeon earns top honors.
Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks
WICHITA, KS --(Ammoland.com)- For the third straight year,
Christina Stockton, a 17-year old student at Stockton Academy in
Wichita, claimed the state’s top prize in the annual Junior Duck Stamp
program on Friday, March 18.
Stockton has been participating in the Junior Duck Stamp program for
six years, and this is her third Best of Show. Her 2011 colored pencil
entry, “This Side of Heaven,” features an American wigeon in intricate
detail. Stockton used reference photos from professional photographers
online at Birds in Focus, along with live birds observed on wetlands near
her home.
Stockton’s entry will compete against Best of Show winners from 49
other states in the national competition on April 15 at John Heinz
National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum (outside of Philadelphia, Pa.), the
host of this year’s Junior Duck Stamp Contest.
The first place national winner receives a $5,000 scholarship and a free
trip to Washington, D.C., and has their entry made into a Junior Duck
Stamp that is sold nationwide. Proceeds from the sale of the $5 stamp
fund conservation education and art scholarships.

Stockton’s wigeon bested 776 entries, including those of two of her

sisters, who were also in the running for Best of Show. Entries were
submitted in four age categories: Group 1 — K-3rd grade (287 entries);
Group II — 4th-6th grade (293 entries); Group III — 7th-9th grade (101
entries); and Group IV — 10th-12th grade (95 entries).

Today’s Tabbloid PERSONAL NEWS FOR news@ammoland.com
Today, the most common plaintive question you hear from the victim
disarmament crowd is: “Why would anyone need a high capacity
ammunition magazine?” Note that the emphasis is always on the word
“need”.
So-called “gun control” has always used semantic deception. What the
gun confiscators want to do is apply “needs” to situations that more
accurately require “wants”.
No one “needs” a seat belt. After all, 99.999 percent of your
driving time you don’t “need” a seatbelt. You only “need” a
seat belt during an automobile crash. Do you want a seatbelt?
Of course! No one would even debate this issue.
To a greater or lesser degree, the same goes for property insurance, fire
extinguishers, spare tires, life jackets, and first aid kits, to name just a
few things.
So with this in mind, here are five good reasons that you
should WANT a high capacity magazine.
1. Multiple assailants. Whether on the street or during a home invasion,
violent criminals often move in pairs or packs. Realize that you will never
shoot as well as your score at the range when you are under the
unbelievable stress of a life-or-death encounter. Which would you prefer
to have in your magazine in such an event? Ten rounds? Or fifteen or
seventeen? Or perhaps even 30?
2. Private citizens always face the threat before the police arrive. Private
citizens were on the front line at Tucson, Columbine, and Virginia Tech.
Why limit our effectiveness?
You should logically want whatever cops choose to carry. How many cops
choose a ten round magazine? If politicians want to hinder us “little
people” with a ten round limit, they should also hamper the police with
the same limit. Let’s see how far that flies.
In nearly every instance it is not a cop on the “front line” of a violent
situation. It is private citizens who must face the “lone gunman” until
(and sometimes even after) the police arrive. See Dial 911 and Die. Is the
life of a policeman more important than yours?
3. Civil disturbances. Watch the Reginald Denny beating video some
time. Review the looting insanity of Hurricane Katrina. You’ve got a
crazed mob of ten, twenty, or fifty people headed in your direction. Are
ten rounds enough? Might you want fifteen, or seventeen, or even thirty?
Oh, and while you’re at it, perhaps bring from memory those Los Angeles
Korean store owners standing guard on the roofs of their businesses with
semi-auto AKs during the Rodney King riots. No one messed with those
stores, did they?
4. Because it is your most fundamental right as guaranteed by the U.S.
Constitution, and, more importantly, as given by G-d A-lmighty: the
right to the righteous defense of yourself and the innocent. “Shall not be
9
31 March 2011
infringed” simply means what it says. When politicians infringe on
magazine capacity, they infringe on the Second Amendment. You should
want a high cap mag because you can have one!
This is America, not a socialist nanny state or tin pot Third World
dictatorship. The saying “use it or lose it” is never so relevant as when
applied to our Bill of Rights. See “2A Today for the USA”
5. Your assailants may well be armed with high cap magazines
themselves. No ban will affect these criminals; it will actually encourage
them. Do you really think the gang bangers care about federal laws?
Again, ask the local cop why he or she won’t “downgrade” to a ten round
mag to go along with this feel-good idiocy. Ask the pols why they don’t
think the cops should do so.
These are just a few of the reasons for WANTING (not “needing”) a high
cap magazine. In the spirit of JPFO’s recently launched “High Cap
Freedom” campaign, go out and buy one or more high capacity mags for
your pistol or rifle today.
Always remember, the present drive towards a ban might fail, but all it
will take is “Loughner II” (another convenient “crazed lone gunman”) to
drive the hysteria machine to victory for the gun grabbers. Get your high
cap magazines before any ban can take place.
“Because your life is too precious to risk running out of
bullets.”

Cities of Charleston &
Martinsburg WV File Motions
to Dismiss WVCDL Gun Control
Lawsuits
MAR 30, 2011 09:50A.M.
Cities of Charleston & Martinsburg WV File Motions to
Dismiss WVCDL Gun Control Lawsuits
This move exposes the Weaknesses of Their Cases and Strength of
WVCDL’s Cases.
West Virginia Citizens Defense League
West Virginia --(Ammoland.com)- Yesterday, the “Charleston
Defendants” in WVCDL’s lawsuit challenging the constitutionality and
statutory validity of a variety of local gun control ordinances in the cities
of Charleston, south Charleston, and Dunbar filed a motion to dismiss.
Today, all defendants in WVCDL’s lawsuit challenging the
constitutionality and statutory validity of Martinsburg’s city building gun
ban filed a motion to dismiss.
We are still awaiting responses from the South Charleston & Dunbar
defendants, which are due on April 15, 2011.
Both motions to dismiss and other relevant documents in this cases are
available here.
Before I receive questions, we did not make any mistakes in posting the 2
motions to dismiss and their supporting briefs on WVCDL’s web site.
Charleston and Martinsburg did make identical–and equally
laughable–claims that WVCDL and its members do not have “standing”
to sue because there is allegedly no real, credible, and immediate threat
of criminal prosecution of any of you if you choose to violate the
10
31 March 2011
ordinances that WVCDL is challenging.
These arguments are factually absurd and grossly misstates the legal
standard for “pre-enforcement challenges” to a law. The arguments
made by both Charleston and Martinsburg concerning their allegations
that WVCDL and its members lack standing to sue are absurd.
Dick Heller (who we are proud to call a fellow WVCDL member) did not
have to unlawfully bring his handgun into the District of Columbia,
illegally possess it, and argue his successful challenge to DC’s former
handgun ban from a jail cell. Neither did Otis McDonald in his successful
challenge to Chicago’s former handgun ban.
In Medimmune, Inc. v. Genentech, Inc., 549 U.S. 118 (2007), the
Supreme Court of the United States, in an opinion written by Justice
Scalia, held that “where threatened action by government is concerned,
we do not require a plaintiff to expose himself to liability before bringing
suit to challenge the basis for the threat-for example, the
constitutionality of a law threatened to be enforced. The plaintiff’s own
action (or inaction) in failing to violate the law eliminates the imminent
threat of prosecution, but nonetheless does not eliminate Article III
jurisdiction.”
I encourage you to click the previous link and read pages 11 and 12 of the
PDF file.Please note that if you choose to read the Charleston and
Martinsburg motions to dismiss, the extensive body of case law they cite
in support of their arguments almost entirely predates the Supreme
Court’s decision in Medimmune v. Genentech.
In addition to their baseless arguments on the issue of standing, the
Charleston Defendants attempted to mount a defense of the legality of
Charleston’s ordinances under state law. However, in doing so, they
confirmed WVCDL’s view that those ordinances are without appropriate
statutory authority to be valid as a matter of state law. Martinsburg, on
the other hand, did not even attempt to mount a defense of its ordinance.
These recent filings confirm WVCDL’s belief in the strength of its cases.
Soon, the courts will enter scheduling orders specifying the time frame
for briefing and oral arguments and a ruling on this motion. This,
however, will be just one of many steps in the litigation process.
Finally, in light of the allegations by both Charleston and Martinsburg
that WVCDL and its members apparently do not face a real, credible, and
immediate threat of criminal prosecution under any of the ordinances
that are being challenged, WVCDL and the other plaintiffs have extended
both cities very generous offers to settle their respective cases. Both
Charleston & Martinsburg have been extended settlement offers under
which they would agree to repeal the challenged ordinances. After all, if
Charleston and Martinsburg are not enforcing their ordinances and
WVCDL’s members have nothing to fear–as Charleston & Martinsburg
appear to want make the courts believe, at least for the purposes of
WVCDL’s lawsuits–then why not go ahead and resolve this unfortunate
misunderstanding and cleanse their respective city code books of what
are apparently just dead letters?

At least we can dream. WVCDL’s legal cases are strong and we are
confident of victory, no matter how long it takes.

Manchin Can’t Make Up His
Mind on Anti-Gun Traver
Nomination

Manchin Can’t Make Up His Mind on Anti-Gun Traver
Nomination to Head the ATF
Encourage U.S. Senator, Joe Manchin to make the obvious choice.
West Virginia Citizens Defense League
West Virginia --(Ammoland.com)- Our new U.S. senator, Joe Manchin
is noncommittal on President Obama’s nomination of anti-gun zealot
Andrew Traver to be Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives.
This is the same Joe Manchin who ran an infamous TV ad last fall in
which he killed two birds with one stone by touting his NRA
endorsement and highlighting his opposition to Cap and Trade
legislation by nailing a copy of the bill to a tree and using it for target
11
31 March 2011
practice.
Well, Joe, 4 days after you were sworn in as our newest United States
senator, the NRA–whose endorsement you so highly touted in your
“Dead Aim” TV ad–took dead aim at the Traver nomination. Meanwhile,
the Brady Bunch praised it.
However, 4 months later, you still have not taken a
position–much less kept your promise to “always defend
West Virginia.”
The following is a letter Senator Manchin sent me responding to an e-
mail I personally sent him and Senator Rockefeller (from whom I don’t
expect as response since Rockefailure is an anti who has well-deserved
F ratings from NRA and GOA):
March 10, 2011
[address redacted]
Dear Mr. Mullins,
Thank you for contacting me and sharing your concerns
about the President’s nomination of a new Director of the
Bureau of Alcohol, tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
Hearing from West Virginians is very important to me, and I
appreciate your input on this issue.
The nominee, Andrew Traver, is currently the Special Agent
in Charge (SAC) of the ATF’s Chicago Field Division. As you
know, the Director of the ATF is appointed by the President,
but his nomination is subject to confirmation by the full
Senate. While the nomination of Andrew Traver has not yet
come up for a vote, please be assured that I will keep your
concerns in mind as I follow this confirmation process
closely.
Again, thank you for taking the time to add your voice to this
important discussion. If I may be of further assistance to you,
please do not hesitate to contact my office.
With Warmest Regards,
Joe Manchin III
United States Senator
ACTION ITEM: Tell Senator Manchin to OPPOSE Traver Nomination
Since Senator Joe Manchin is noncommittal on President Obama’s
nomination of anti-gun zealot Andrew Traver to be Director of the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, it is obvious that
he needs to “hear from West Virginians” and receive out input on this
issue.
Please click on one of the following links and either sign a pre-written
message or write your own message telling Senator Manchin that you

AMMOLAND.COM SHOOTING SPORTS NEWS Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)-MSSA’s # 2 bill, SB 371, our bill
to encourage the manufacture of smokeless powder, primers and
Montana Powder & Primers Bill cartridge brass in Montana has been scheduled for its public hearing
before the House Taxation Committee for Thursday, 3/31, at 8 AM, in
Hearing Scheduled room 152 of the State Capitol.
MAR 30, 2011 09:04A.M.
Please contact Committee members and ask the to restore to the bill two
Montana Powder & Primers Bill Hearing Scheduled features removed in the Senate; the tax breaks and the liability
SB 371, powder/primers bill hearing, 3/3, Thursday 2011. protection. come to the hearing if you can.

The tax breaks won’t cost Montana anything because there is no such
business in Montana now. If such a business starts, it will provide jobs
for Montana.

Montana already has liability protection for firearms and ammunition

manufactures. The liability protection we want in the bill merely extends
this same protection to future manufacturers of powder, primers and
brass.

Remember, this is a clear RKBA issue. There are only two plants in the
US that make powder now, and they’re both owned by giant defense
contractors. All other powder we use for ammo is imported, and subject
to any arbitrary import restriction. We need to get business like this
jump-started in Montana to assure our ammunition supplies.

Thanks for your help!!!
