Or more appropriately titled “D” classy, as I’m certain that’s where I will end up after shooting today’s all classifier USPSA match this morning at Phoenix Rod and Gun club.  I was starting to think that I had a chance at C, but the red mist descended quite heavily over me this morning, and ended [...]
