Cameron Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 OK BE'ers, rumer has it our own Jake DiVita will be having an Open GM card printed for him!!!!!!! After 4, yes, 4 brutal months of dryfire with his new JV Dynamics open blaster, he has successfully reached the top 5%. Not USPSA official yet, but CONGRATS JAKE!!!!!!!

redmist10 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I hope someone has a picture of the range conditions today. It was rain and snow (sometimes white-out conditions - BIG flakes), mud everywhere, water flowing off the range - (2-3" deep in places)....and he smoked the stage _ SMOKED IT> He was very subdued after doing it too. He must have known it was coming. Confidence like that must feel nice. A well deserved - CONGRATULATIONS, JAKE> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Moore Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 i just hope he'll still shoot with us lowly local shooters, we might get to learn something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrettone Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 <pot-stirring mode on> Don't worry T. Moore...That GM card dosen't mean squat until he can actually beat you head-to-head. So put an asterisk by it***!!! You got him runnin' scared...he won't shoot against ya!!!! He's afraid of the local champ!!! He-He. <pot-stirring mode off> Seriously...Congrats Jake!!!

3quartertime Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Congrats Jake!!! Just to boost your ego at our last local match your name was brought up. It was in reference to your sub 3 second El Prez quest. The fella I was talking with agreed that it was a task that neither displayed match day skill or real time classification. BUT, we both agreed that you were just the guy to do it!!! The shooter I was chatting with was Tony Hawkins... Looking forward to seeing you shoot again.

Jake Di Vita Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 3QT, Heh wow that's surprising my name was actually brought up. Tony is a good guy, tell him I said hi next time you shoot with him. What matches you gonna be at this year? (I may have already asked you this but I don't remember). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3quartertime Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 What matches you gonna be at this year? (I may have already asked you this but I don't remember). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Right now just the Indiana State, Ohio State and Area 5. I'll be running one of the stages at the Indiana match so I'll shoot on Friday. Gonna try to shoot Ohio on Sunday if I can get in and hopfully I'll get to squad up with some local guys at area 5 but not sure what day. I'm sure I'll run into ya...As fast as you were with the Production rig I can't imagine how fast you are with the Open set-up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
