Shooting USA - The Smith & Wesson Steel Nationals
 This time the nation's fastest pistol shooters shoot it out for the title in the U.S. Steel Championship. It's been called "bang and clang" and "drag racing with guns". How fast can you draw and shoot five steel targets? The answer from the pro shooters... very fast, indeed! Plus, we're taking you to the NRA Annual Meeting in Houston, with 86-thousand members there to see the new products of the year and to support the Second Amendment.
 In the world of the shooting sports, there is no other sound that instantly draws the attention like a round hitting a steel plate. It’s that sound that has generated the nick name for steel shooting… bang and clang.
Now add the high energy of a national championship competition and you have the most exciting steel shooting of the year.
For three days, the fastest pistol shooters from across the nation battle it out in their pursuit of U.S. National Steel Championship in Florida. And it turns out this time it’s an awe inspiring duel between two top competitors, leaving everybody else behind.

The NRA Annual Meeting in Houston
 The NRA’s annual meeting and new product show is the big event each year for members and big was the word to describe this year’s event in Houston’s giant convention center.
The politics of this year have increased NRA support by at least a million new members and we expected a lot of them would show up in Houston. And we were right. It was a huge turnout.
If you haven’t joined yet, to help with the battle to protect our 2nd Amendment rights, the offer still stands, we’ll pay $10 toward your membership… if you use the link at ShootingUSA.com to join.

Olympic Profiles – Jamie Grey and SSG Josh Olson
You’ll remember the history of the Army Marksmanship unit, that it was established by President Eisenhower to be sure the US had the best marksmen competing internationally.
 That assignment has meant the USAMU members make up a significant portion of our Olympic Shooting team. But we doubt President Eisenhower would have imagined the USAMU as a family affair, that would bring home gold.
Jamie Grey – Gold in three position rifle.
SSG Josh Olson – US Paralympics in rifle.
