Production PCC Nationals

Production & PCC Nationals

Of all the divisions of USPSA competition, two of the most popular are also two of the newest, production and PCC, that’s Pistol Caliber Carbine. The two divisions are paired together for the final National Championships of the year at the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park. Plus, the big business of making and restoring big cannons at Trail Rock Ordnance in Tennessee. Then, Colt hosts a demo at Gunsite to reveal and test their new products for 2023. 

USPSA Production Nationals

Of all the divisions of USPSA competition, two of the most popular are also two of the newest, Production and PCC, that’s pistol caliber carbine, these two are paired together for the final National of the year at the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park. It is an unusual pairing, rifle, and production pistol side-by-side on the USPSA Nationals’ stages of fire. 

One of the key challenges for the National’s staff is how to create courses of fire that are balanced for Production shooters, with Iron Sights and 10 round magazines, and Pistol Caliber Carbine shooters with their optics and virtually unlimited round count. It’s an creative challenge often overlooked, but vitally important to putting on a successful National Championships Match.

Trail Rock Ordnance

Not long ago we took you to the Gallant Pelham Artillery Shoot in Tennessee, and some of the guns on the line were brand new, with some firing their first shots. So, that raises the question where does a new cannon come from? 

Trail Rock Ordnance is just outside Knoxville, Tennessee, and Steve Cameron is the owner who can supply anything. The gun carriage, limbers, caissons. They do all the implements, the shooting accouterments that accompany the gun tubes. They make basically all of it and their products are in demand for shooters, reenactors, and displays at memorials and national parks.

When it comes to the shooting sports, how do you capture attention? Well putting up a big cash prize is one way to do it. And that’s exactly what the Prairie Fire Rank Championship is doing, six figures in cash plus a community event that brings people together, all with the common interest in shooting. 250 skilled competitors are on the range, ready to stake their claim on a prize purse totaling one hundred thousand dollars, but it’s not just Pro Shooters, this match is for everyone.
