Marvin and Mike are two of the nicest people in Airgun Benchrest!
Have shot with Marvin at the 2011 Worlds , 2014 Nationals in AZ and the 2015 Nationals in Oxnard, CA.
His wife Lucinda helped the whole USA Team at the 2011 Worlds along with both National shoots. When Ron Lewis started Air Rifle Benchrest and ran a (world National match ?) Marvin won that match in a near Hurricane !!
My wife and I stopped by Marvin and Lucinda home on the way back from TX and Marvin has the best home shooting range I have ever seen!
Mike Niksch sold me one of his Thomas Electronic in LV. It was delivered a week before the AZ Nationals in 2014 (electronics was legal then) had a small problem with it. We Had 4 people in a mini van and drove straight through 50 plus hours. Mike met me in my hotel and fixed it in 5 min. The next day was a practice day and every one that shot the Thomas loved it. When Electronics were not allowed. Mike did a bolt, hammer spring, trigger upgrade in a week or less.
For the 2015 Worlds in Australia I ordered a HV Thomas with side lever. I also had my LV Thomas upgraded to a side lever. The six of us all took home at least one Medal . In HV class we took Gold and Silver.
Looking forward to shooting with them again in Sept in Oxnard, CA this year.
