It's easy to have a lot of laughs when Koppi's shooting. But since he did beat everybody on our squad, except Dave, I guess our days of giving him a hard time are certainly coming to a middle. Looking back I would have shot the 8 shooter. Then again, I did zero stage 4 so power factor's pretty irrelevant in that case.

Damn. I was hoping to just shoot the match this year and not RO but now it looks like I may not be able to do either.

So sorry for your loss, Bob.

When I saw you grabbing handfulls of rocks to throw at the cans I was wondering if you picked up more than 6 at a time.

Ya done good, Cliff! However, I too, was sorry about your balls.

I won't be making it, either. Spare traveling funds and time-off have become scarce these last few years. I should see you all in Memphis, though.

Does Coors sponser the show, now? Exactly how much beer could you buy with 100K? Go get 'em, Cliff!

I'm still toying with the idea.

Cabin fever seems like an appropriate term. Sunday during our latest snow storm I may or may not have opened up my patio door and shot some .22's from my kitchen. Don't know if I'll make it down to your match on the 19th, snertley. I may have to shoot the shotgun match the next day up at Harris, instead. I missed it last year.

A little late but seems somewhat approriate since it's Cliff's thread Christmas Eve, in the drunk tank. Hope you all had a good Christmas.

Thankfully he has a sponsor now so he (hopefully) HAS to leave his shirt on.

So sorry to hear that, Brian.

I have a 6" but wish I had the 4". It doesn't really bother me that much but like Mike said I think I am going to just mill the underlug off. Maybe not the whole thing, though. Perhaps I'll start out at an angle kind of like the contour of my 627 and see how that feels.

I checked the news but didn't see any interesting reports out of Florida this morning. Must not have been too crazy. Hope you had a good one, Cliff.

Thanks to everybody involved! An entire day of shooting and I think I spent about two dollars on ammo. Tom is correct. It's a little different when you are limited to 10 rounds in the magazines and are shooting stages with up to 9 plates. There were definate times I should have been stepping on the gas more and wasn't. And a couple of times I did and shouldn't have. Already looking forward to next years. Especially if you do some weeknight shoots down at Hutch. I'm also rethinking my handgun choices and optics.

Ok, I know I saw it somewhere. I just don't remember where. What time do we start shooting Saturday morning?

When I talked to him Tuesday night he had not seen the results. With the rifle he had me by 1.78. (not that I'm keeping track, or anything ) JP smoked us all with his new JP 9mm carbine.

Thanks Tim. Although, Dallas did beat me on Sunday.

I was wondering the same thing. I mailed the entry to Del-tone a couple of weeks ago.

Not much more I can add other than it looked real good. Is this from last Thursday's match? If so, looking at the scores, you're shooting 67% overall for the match. That's excellent. Feels pretty good to beat a bunch of bottom feeders, doesn't it? I'd join you guys but getting to Oakdale on a weeknight just plain sucks for me. It'd almost be easier for me to go around the metro area and come in from Wisconsin.

Oh sure. It's always a hoot when you win. I plan on ROing (and shooting) again, Lea. 2-gun. 3-gun. Whatever. It may be the only vacation I get again this year.

Meh, just call me Strad. Its easier. Thanks for the advice! I will be stopping by the local store on my way home to get a selection of brushes to try. He's been called worse names.

I see a resemblance.

Thanks guys! Yes, another Cinco de Mayo has gone by...and I'm still older than Cliff? (But at least my livers in better shape) I am HOPING to make it to nationals. Providing I can get away from work for that long. Just need to get on the wait list, I guess. It seems that if you don't shoot much at all the previous year our section coordinator won't give you a slot for the next years nationals? Weird. I guess you have to earn them,or something. Snertly, that damn work stuffs been getting in the way this year quite a bit. I think that shotgun match week ended up being one of those 60+ hour work weeks. It's WAY better than what we had last year so I'm not complaining.....too much.

Somewhere at home I have a trophy that has 'revolver' spelled incorrectly. You want to trade, Dan.
