Congrats to John Kruzan, Larry Moore, Hope Carleton and Steve Jaynes! Also, a big congrats to Rick Fox for making it back to back 4-gun championships with his name on them.
I didn't think there could be anyone that enjoys br shooting more than myself until I got to know Rick. In fact, I use to enjoy beating him pretty regularly. Now however, I REALLY enjoy the rare times that I'm lucky enough to finish ahead of him! He has raised the bar and is a very deserving 4-Gun champ...again. I think he'd shoot a match every day somewhere if he could, and never tire. He has put in as many hours of effort and dedication to the game as anyone that I've met since getting involved. He has been THE example of how to do well in this game, with hard work and never giving up. He's also been exemplar in getting new shooters into the game.
We need more shooters like YOU, Rick! It's always good shooting, traveling to a match, or just shooting the bull with you. It's an honor to call you a friend, as well.
Congrats again! You most definitely earned it in every way.

p.s. Did I mention that he also smoothly runs the matches at Gallatin WHILE almost always shooting two rifles? Wow!
