It’s A 3-Peat For Scott Warren At USPSA Summer Blast
Sedro-Woolley, WA — Scott Warren knows his way around a 1911 pistol and proved it again by picking up the Single Stack Division title at the 8th Annual Summer Blast charity pistol match for the third straight year.
The Single Stack Division, so called because the model 1911 pistols used in competition feature magazines which hold just a single column of ammunition, is growing in popularity as more and more competitors opt to shoot the more traditional model pistol. The 1911 is also one of the most popular firearms sold in America.
Warren, a top ranked competitive shooter from Montclair, Virginia, won six of the ten stages and led the match from the first shots fired. He took the coveted Single Stack title by more than 96 match points with a score of 1227.7509.
“Scott is a formidable opponent when it comes to the shooting sports and competing with the venerable 1911 pistol in particular. He’s having a great year and I’m sure we can expect another win or two before the season ends,” said Larry Houck, match director of the Summer Blast.
Warren has already claimed Single Stack victories in the USPSA Area 8 Regional Championships as well as the USPSA Virginia-Maryland Sectional Championships. The Summer Blast represents the third major match win for Warren in the 2008 shooting season.
Rounding out the top five were Ed Deegan of Manassas, Virginia, who finished second with a score of 1130.7828 and Bill Hearne of Townsend, Delaware, who took third shooting a score of 944.6802. Hearne placed fourth in 2007. A pair of Keystone state shooters, Michael Alexander of Chester Springs, and Fred Balsley of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, finished fourth and fifth respectively with scores of 929.5304 and 799.2319.
The USPSA Summer Blast charity pistol match was held July 10-13 at the York Izaak Walton League in Dallastown, Pennsylvania. Since its inception, the match has raised over $15,000 for local charities. A total of 331 top shooters, a record number, competed this year for titles in USPSA’s Open, Limited, Limited-10, Production, Revolver and Single Stack divisions.
