ASI Releases Newest Rule “Book” and Keeps Promise to Maintain Short Rules for Competitive Sport While Promoting Gun Safety Education in a Fun and Social Setting.

The 1.5 rule book is still only 8 pages and streamlined compared to the 1.4 version. You can read it here: https://asi-usa.org/rules/

“We’ve opened up the playing field to allow the ’30-something’ calibers that are often banned by other sports,” says ASI CEO Robin Taylor. “Examples include the .32 ACP, .32-20, 7.62X25, .30 Mauser, and the entire .32 S&W family, including the .327 Federal Magnum. Also, the rule allowing revolver shooters to use a frame-mounted optic appears in print at last, along with a handful of minor corrections and fixes.”

If you find any errors or problems (typos included) Mike Meisner is working on putting together a “fix list” for next year’s release. He can be reached at [email protected].

Snow? What snow? ASI’s Robin Taylor and Rob Beals (along with Lars Liden) had the chance to share ASI with the Puyallup “A Girl and a Gun” chapter on Sunday.
“The gals had a great time and had many, many nice things to say about ASI – your presentation definitely sparked interest in coming to a match in March,” says club organizer Jackie Russo.
The Puyallup “girls” are planning a second ASI-themed get-together, tentatively scheduled for May 20. In the meanwhile, we expect to see several members from the Puyallup chapter attending the Renton Fish & Game Club match in March.
If you’re interested in shooting with a supportive, all-female group, by all means contact Jackie Russo ([email protected]) or Christa Beasley ([email protected]). Christa is the local A Girl And A Gun coordinator. A Girl And A Gun has chapters all over the United States, and Beasley should be able to help you find one near you

ASI Execs Robin Taylor and Al Wylie flew from Seattle to the San Juan Wildlife Federation in Farmington, New Mexico. Walter Gray and his crew not only got their RO certifications, they put on their first open-to-the-public ASI match Saturday afternoon.
“Those guys did amazingly well,” says Exec Al Wylie.
The Farmington class was the second time Taylor and Wylie had taught the revised RO curricula — complete with role-players and “live” squib rounds.
“We were amazed,” says Taylor. “Everything we told them would happen during the course happened during their first match. Even the percentage of women attending was nearly spot-on.”
As the saying goes, forewarned is forearmed, so the new crew at San Juan was ready when awkward situations arose. They faced a “squib” scare, and a disqualification — both major challenges for new range officers to deal with. Yet, thanks to their training, they were ready.
“They started out pretty green,” says Robin Taylor, “but by the end of the training, they’d learned a tremendous amount, and were able to deal with everything a dozen brand-new shooters throw at them. I was impressed.”
San Juan Wildlife will be holding matches once a month — shooting .22’s indoors if the Winter weather gets too cold. For more details, contact Walter Gray directly at [email protected] .

Taylor Freelance brought this Gen. 2 Glock 19 back from the dead to create an awesome-looking ASI match/carry gun. They re-profiled the slide, took a lot of weight out, and treated it to a black-over-green “battleworn” Cerakote finish. With the ASI logo laser-etched on the left side, it sets a new bar for ASI style!
