Carmoney Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I want to be the first to congratulate my friend Sam Keen, our very own Hopalong, on achieving a goal only a few guys have managed to pull off in the history of this sport--attaining the rank of true Master in USPSA's revolver division. It's not official yet, but Hop's very fine performance on classifier 99-33 at the 2005 Ohio Sectional Match (which will always be known affectionately by us wheelgunners as the "1st Annual ORC") should put him over 85% once the scores get transmitted to Sedro. What's even more impressive is the fact that this 8-round stage is definitely NOT a revolver-friendly classifier. What an accomplishment! Great job Sam! Mike P.S. Dan, we finally got him classed where he belongs, but it took a section match to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Mainus Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Congrats Sam. I have been struggling with classifiers this year. True master scores with the wheel gun is quite an accomplishment. See you in a couple of weeks in Barry. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopalong Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Jerry always shoots with Kay if at all possible. I have the same problem, need to shoot with friends I'm riding up with and sharing a golf cart so It may be that I end up not shooting with ya'll. I will sneak off and come see you guys if at all possible.(break maybe) About this Subject; Thanks if it really turns out this way, we will see when they run the next set of classifiers.

Keith Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Way to go Sam! I have to know which classifier it was. Never mind I went back and reread Mike's original post. See some of you next weekend at Area 3. Manny let me change divisions, so I will be shooting a wheelgun on Sunday. Otherwise, I'll see the rest of you down in Barry. Wow! I've never been on a super squad before. Hopefully, I don't have to change squads to suit my travel needs. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Mink Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Way to go Sam, you have definately earned it with all the hard work you put in it. Like I told you the last time we talked, Revolver is your niche, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R112mercer Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Sam; Congratulations on a great accomplishment. With the way classification is kind of slanted against a true judge of a Revolver Shooter's performance that is really impressive. Looking forward to seeing you and all the rest of the board's wheelgunners at Barry this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
