Team #1 Ed Adams, Wayne Campbell, Gene Bukys, Tony Boyer
Team #2 Larry Costa, Mike Ratigan, Bill Summers, Joe Krupa
Team #3 Chris Harris, Don Nielson, Cecil Peterson, Tim Oltersdorf

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors and those individuals who have helped out with products, donations etc. It has been eventful to say the least.

Again thanks to all who have helped and for anyone thinking, man I meant to do this or that for the team I just want you to know it is not too late!! There will be much to settle upon our return.

We will do our very best to represent our country well!!

Thanks again for your help and support.

Too bad Dr. Tim can't take his weed whacker drink maker. It would do great things for international relations. Good shooting guys and have a safe trip.

 

[RJG]

Thanks

Looks like several USA shooters are doing quite well.

What is the conversion from metric to US. One shooter in the "fives" and several in the "sixes" just doesn't have a ring to it.......,jackie

 

[upandcoming]

Take the numbers and devide it by 25,4 and you get the measurement you are used to.

I.e. 5.00/25.4 = 0,19685

Jackie, .03937 is 1 millimeter and .3937 is a centimeter.

[Donald]

So therefore.....6mm is .23622" and .243" is 6.1722 mm. Hum?

My favorite

saying is "Google is your best friend".

On-line conversions make it so easy....

Donald, you know most cartridges are approx. That thinking does not apply.
