I want every one to know if you came today you were in the top ten and stout of heart too. Only once was the weather this bad as I remember it was in Seymore TX. Everyone who shot was a real trooper. We seemed to have fun, but once today I was talking to Jon and his jaw as shaking so hard I could not understand what he was saying. He just kept a trying and a smiling.
For those not from Texas, it was 70 Friday, and very nice, Today was just terrible 30mph to 50, 35 degrees or so.
For me I am glad I went, I got to see the best shooting I have ever seen in my life. I watch and shoot with Mike every week, and see him make some awsome aggs, and he shoots several zeros in the course of a practice. Rarely will he not shoot something very small. But today was just breath-taking. So not only did he shoot clean in Score, but pretty early he shot a Score target in just seconds. The result was 5 Xs on that target, it set me back in my place. Then his Group match, he shot a .075 or so, then a .113, then a .114 or so, and you saw the agg. All this with a 30 mph to 50 mph wind. Man I have to say it may be a long time before I see anything like that and I hope you all can share the fun we had, and congratulations to Mike.
A couple of interesting things about the Match, Most of the rifles were 30's, Who could clean in a 40 plus MPH blow, so few cleaned if any. Most shot Tuners and were preloaded, Who could have loaded in a 40 plus MPH Blow.
Now after the Cactus, and Denton I want to tell you two things, the very best investment Mike and I have made has been our loading trailer to get out of the weather, And as we have discussed, if you are having a drought and need it to rain, invite us to your community, and I am sure we can break the drought, if we come to shoot a match you will be lucky if it doesn't flood.
