It was a gorgeous day yet the conditions were tough for the shooters. We had 11 competitors, Mike Niksch made the trip, and man did he shoot some very nice scores to take the overall win in both matches. Mike was shooting Paul Bendix LV rifle that is going to the Worlds. I had the chance to shoot it on Saturday, it's flat and very consistent shooting rifle. It was nice to see Jeffery joining us again.

Thanks for the report!

Joe,
Hope I get Mike's gun for a couple of days shooting it before going to the Worlds! Mike is sure talented making those Thomas's!!!
Looking forward to shooting at your range at the Nationals and meeting you.

Same here Paul. Mike has a passion that's for sure. How many builders will travel to ranges to make sure the customer is happy. Wishing those of you going to the Worlds success. Have fun and enjoy.

open grove............Mike

The advancement of air rifle accuracy and methods are forever changed by this man.

As a sport or art form we are so very lucky this man, a non shooter, who knew nothing about air guns came to us with his gift. His mere humble presence has furthered sportsmanship, changed methods, elevated the sport beyond our wildest dreams and redefined the word ACCURACY.

Thank you Michael.
