MichiganShootist Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) So.. I don't know if this post should be a Hate Rant, Humor, Or a suggestion for a rules change, .....but.... here goes. This past Fall I turned 65... so my one and only goal at all the matches I attend is to win top award for Super Senior (in USPSA Talk) or in Distinguished Senior (in IDPA Talk). With my old (and poorly cared for) body and mind....there is no way any goal beyond that is feasible... Well at the Illinois State IDPA match a few weeks ago... I achieved that goal for the match. I had the best score of any 65 or older shooter. SWEET !!! BUT !!!! Here's the problem. The award says: 2010 Illinois State IDPA Championship High Distinguished Senior I showed my award to a neighbor (who's a vet but not a shooter) and he said "Isn't it dangerous for an old fart like you to be shooting a pistol when you are high??? I'd like to suggest that you MDs change the wording on such awards to----"First Place Over All (Super Senior or Distinguished Senior) Thanks Mark Edited July 31, 2010 by MichiganShootist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Nahh, don't change a thing. Let it remain the conversation piece that it obviously is. "First Fossil" is kinda cool, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
