i forgot to congratulate dan, i had read on here that he did well in ara shoots.
apparently he has a pretty good sense of wind, because we had it and dan
seemed to work out how to shoot through it. dawn said i acted surprised when
i gave her the award for winning the second target, yes i was, as i recall she's
the first girl i've shot against here, i had seen her scores online but she showed
me she can shoot at places besides her home range.. hope they had a safe trip home.
congratulations to all the winners and hope you all had a safe ride home. tom.

Tom,

You stick around long enough and you'll find that most of the girls shoot well. Beyond that, they fail to realize how fragile our egos are, or maybe they do! Don't underestimate them, they will kick your behind every which way from Sunday.

Hell, I got beat by two this weekend. They are especially tough when they have fresh manicures and pedicures.

 

[bob finger]

Fred: You bragging or complaining? bob

 

[Tom C.]

hey bob i would like to say thanks to you and dawn for doing the scoring
it really helped, glad to see you made it home okay. thanks for coming good to
meet you.

Dawn shot a 2500 at the ARA Winter Nationals 2 years ago.

 

[Tom C.]

i kinda remembered that, james, i didn't used to track the ara scores that much.
by the way i saw a ton of your rests in action this weekend, nice piece of workmanship.

 

[Tom C.]

when we initially started setting up last weekend a year ago, i told dan we felt bad that he himself didn't get to shoot in his matchs, he said oh well that's
the way it is, and i said would you stay if we had another match the next day and he
said sure, then after all that i thought we were going to get pounded by a storm, we didn't,
i thought dawn wasn't going to shoot, she did after all, and i thought well good at least
they'll be able to enjoy a match, (i don't even know if they fired any practice rounds the night
before,) they got to enjoy not just shooting but shooting very well, and i know they were just
as tired as the rest of us. At least they got to enjoy some of the fun too. i hope they do as
well at the other psl + shooting weekends this year.

[Slick Willy]

Tom, I liked your pictures but you missed Martin Hammond ,was he there? No Show ?

 

[Tom C.]

marty? no he didn't make it. he promised to come to least one soty match this year.
only 3 left. he can't get anyone to come with him to help drive, it's tough on him with a
bad neck. plus he keeps shoooting up all his ammo. he shoots half brick to a brick a day.

 

[roates]

Robert & Joe
