The Arizona PCC (Pistol-Caliber Carbine) Championship is a 10-stage competition held every year at the Rio Salado Sportsman's Club in Mesa, AZ. It is normally only open to semiauto carbines, but I was able to get permission to run a true submachine gun this year (full auto is truly not an advantage for this sort of competition...). So I took the opportunity to run nearly 750 rounds through a Stemple-Suomi, while kitted out in my proper Finnish Wanter War uniform. Any you know what? I had a great time and didn't come in last!

Closer to home the Sami herders in Scandinavia did not ride reinder and instead rode behind them in sleds as the reindeer here are smaller. However the Scandinavian language have had a large influence on English (via some rather violent visits in the early middle ages) and in Norwegian the animal is simply called Rein, add deer to that and we get the English Reinder. (Btw rein as in that strap you control a horse with is called töm in Swedish, i imagine it is something similar in Norwegian and Danish)

I dont think we will be seeing Ian and Carl in a video together any more.

I really like watching your competition videos. Your years of experience make you a fascinating shooter

@barttorbert5031 2 жыл бұрын

I am always amazed at how well Ian does using what most shooters would consider antiquated, obsolete firearms. Ian claims he is no great marksman and does not spend the time practicing needed to truly become a contender. And at each match he uses yet another gun, which certainly does not help at increasing his scores. Yet the dinosaurs that he uses rarely leave him at the bottom of the results. I am sure he competes against all the guns that are currently flashy and trendy. So just how much "progress" has there really been in firearms in the last so many decades? I am all in for the oldies-but- goodies being given more respect.

Yeah, you're right, but a Suomi is still a very competent weapon. Might be a bit heavy, whatever, but it's awesomely reliable and has bullet proof feeding options.

how the heck does anyone remember all the steps in each stage? i would end up last just from being forgetful about when/where to shoot...

@Repenter0 2 жыл бұрын

Generally prior to shooting someone is going to go over how to do the stage. If you arn't first you will often be watching on average 4+ people do it before you. Generally they are also laid out in a remotely predictable fashion if you've shot some stages before the hardest part is often about knowing how many shots to what target but often the RO calling out hits and such will tell you if you left a two hit on one hit or similar (though not always).

There appears to be two quite good iron sight competitors in the division as Ian was only once up to 2nd place. I assume #1 and #2 were mostly the same two persons.

@ylismsa 2 жыл бұрын

It just so happens I don't like to assume things and had this need to check out the scores. #1 was mostly the same guy, but 2nd place was mostly shared by 2 guys and occasionally someone else, like Ian. The #1 John Gregory had an excellent run as he was was way ahead of everyone else with almost 24% lead to the second place! Overall 18th - with iron sights versus optics!
