hopalong Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 SmittyFL has now offically been included into the TOP DOGS" catagory !!!! Not only did he make the hard hill to climb at Area-6 and come out on top with great shooters like Travis, Taran, Erik and others I have let slip my mind but now he gets his MUG in Front Sight !!!!!! Congrats Smitty !!!!!! Hopalong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I agree, nice job Smitty, but then again, I told you that already after last Sunday's match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeFoley Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I was happy to see him in there as the A6 winner, but I didn't want to foul up his humility by bragging on him before Nats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 When I saw his picture, I thought, "Hey, I know that guy!" Great Job Shannon!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 That's why YOU THE MAN Smitty !! PS - That's hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypool40 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 No offense to the guy on the cover but I honestly feel that a first time, previously unheralded AREA MATCH WINNER deserves the cover. FRONT SIGHT: What gives???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Front sight seems to be, um, reluctant, to publish a cover shot that wasn't taken by the USPSA staff. If they didn't have one.. (I note that such things do have $$ attached and IMHO, our money may be better spent elsewhere, given the total lack of newstand real estate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I agree. No offense to whomever is on the cover, but normally cover spots are held for the "hot" people in the sport....Smitty definetely is that as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Smitty...THAT'S HOT!!! (I think they are more into getting the cool shot with the brass in the air/slide open on the cover. Not to mention, the cover photo needs to be of high quality.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyFL Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Thanks gang, I appreciate it. I was so "under the radar" they didn't have a photo of me for the cover. In fact I think shooting gallery was there covering the match, I don't get the outdoor channel but I would be interested how the show goes seeing how they have no footage of or conversation with the winner. As for the guy on the cover, he's a friend of mine and a good dude. I haven't talked to him, but I'm sure it made his day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildSF4 Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Smitty's avatar made the front cover though (sort of) displayed behind the shooter. Good job Smitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38SuperWes Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 The best thing, is that Front Site reveals the "secret" to Smitty's succes right there in the picture....it is his "lucky" Flag match shirt....gun, speed, technique?? Hell no...it is the shirt!! We knew that shirt was destined to greatness and to grace the pages of Front Site first time we saw it! Hopefully, it will grace those pages again, many times!

geezer-lock Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Even though Smitty is officially a “hot rock” I suppose it is OK to add that he is a genuinely nice guy that takes the time to make folks feel welcome at his home range. I bet that we will see his picture a LOT in the future. David C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
