Thanks for all the help in set-up and take-down. Mark for all the goodies, David for scoring.

Used the 1924 Haynes as the antique car season is coming to an end. Three guns, two rests, six target frames and backers, Box of targets and every thing else to run a match fit!

Paul,
Thanks for running the matches at Holbrook! It's worth the ride to see everyone and check out the new equipment everyone has come up with over the last couple of months. My new LW barrel seems like it'll be a good one after my 450 mile round trip to test ammo yesterday See you all next month!

Paul,

Thank you for everything you have done to help promote AGing in this area of the country. I'm only sorry that I've reached that point in my life where I'm no longer up to committing to running matches, and that Pinnacle Mountain has become so pissy to deal with over the past couple of years.

To All Others,

It was great seeing and shooting with you all. The scores you all turned in were exceptional. We have probably the best all-round group of guys to be with of any discipline in sports. And, if you don't believe it, just ask Brad. As he has found, no matter what you need there will be someone there who is more than willing to advise, lend and/or give you what you need or are looking for.

Have a great Thanksgiving and hope to see everybody next month.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome and especially the use of the cleaning kit. After some testing yesterday I found that those Crosman Premiers do break up in my barrel and the RWS pellets throw a flyer about once in every 6 shots, looks like the JSB 15.9s will end up as pellet of choice. Looking forward to Dec and some better results from the Talon.

[Pete Wass]

Twas very nice to shoot with you guys once again and to see you once more. Thanks You Paul, for facilitating the match. It's very nice for all of us that you are so generous with everything. Hope to see you in the Spring.

[Brad Niese]

Thanks Paul for hosting the shoots! Always a good time with good folks!
Dan, thanks for building the Dawson! It looks awesome! I have a feeling when I find the right pellet it's going to be a monster!
Todd, thanks for the loan of the scope and stock! The Dawson will be sporting it's own glass next time, I will order the rings tonight. If I am lucky it will be sporting it's own stock too!
Looking forward to next month!
Brad

Paul,
As always a great match, with great people! I love the new SUV you carried all of the match equipment in! It was very good to see Pete especially considering the cross country trek he had to attend the match. Also it was very nice to see Doug Shea ( thanks for the bailout ) his equipment is always thought provoking and the work of a Master Craftsman. Lastly welcome Tim Van you could not find a more generous and helpful lot to fall in with, hope to see you at future matches.

I would also like to add it is a lot of fun to be involved in the beginning of a Sport Disciplin. I had the oportunity to have done this very thing with Motocross way back in my Latent Youth and I see lots of parallesl here in this Sport, particularly with the equipment. Not having been a Great Motocrosser, as I will probably not be a Great Shooter, I find a lot of enjoyment and reward in the "Tinkering" with the equipmentand seeing the Sport evolve.
