Much appreciation to Jerry Powers and the members of the Ashe County Wildlife Club in Laurel Springs NC for the well run IBS/UBR Combined 100/200 Meter match. To my knowledge there has never before been match like this with two organizations getting together for a combined match. The IBS 100 and 200 meter matches were held on Saturday and Sunday morning and the UBR 100/200 meter matches were held in the afternoons. Most of the UBR shooters shot the IBS matches as well as their own and many of the IBS shooters tried their hand at UBR. We were all well fed by the club with ham & biscuits, smoked chicken, burgers, hot dogs and luscious desserts. The weather was gorgeous (don't know if we can give credit to ACWC for that) and it made the drive over and back an additional bonus. I think I can speak for all the UBR shooters when I say we hope this may become an annual event. We'll be happy to go back to the mountains of North Carolina next fall.

Special thanks to Strawberry Jerry

Yup, the whole weekend at Ashe County was a first class act all the way. Great competitors, great food, and great weather. Too bad my shooting wasn't great, it wasn't even fair, it was down right bad. It was really nice meeting some new shooters that were there, Rick Fox, Brud Sheats, and Danny Hensley, but most of all I would like to thank Strawberry Jerry Powers. He is one class act! When he took me over to the range to check it out on Wednesday, I told him that I probably couldn't make it up the hill with my motorhome, so we went to his house and he gave me the keys to his wife's Mercedes Benz station wagon and he let me use it until I left on Sunday night. Way beyond gracious and very much appreciated. He even gave me money for gas after I insisted that I would pay for it, (He's way bigger than me). You couldn't find a better person in a million years than Jerry Powers.

Great facility, great people, & great food. I sat one bench from Strawberry Jerry for 2 days of shooting, and he is an awesome host, but that man is crazy. Loved every minute of it.
