Tim Eagan, the Idaho coordinator for the United States Practical Shooting Association, is practicing for this weekend's state championship this weekend at the range just west of Idaho Falls.

This sport is amazing. Shooters not only have to hit specified targets, but they're timed doing it, and the winner is decided by who gets the most hits in the shortest time.

The sport that started in the late 70's, now has more than 17 thousand active competitors from ten year old kids, to 80 year old retirees.
