R112mercer Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Mike; Great pics! I really like that one of the Cop from Area 8. I'll bet if he can just get his head in the game he could be a force to be reckoned with <G>! Looks like Pat has some competition for squad photographer. Now who want's to be Squad Mommy next year?

wlktheduk Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Mike, thanks for taking and posting the photo's for us wheelgunners who weren't able to make the "Big Show" Don't let 'em get on you about your grip and stance. You didn't drop the revolver, and you didn't fall down did you? So it must work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 Edgardo is so fast he ran into the shadows before I could snap the photo. Cool hat, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 On this stage you had to grab the gun out of the briefcase and run up the stairs. Most of the revolver shooters felt very comfortable on this stage, as the little house reminded them of the places where they grew up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Awesome pics Mike and thanx for sharing them! This coming weekend I start my conversion to the wheelies to hopefully one day be worthy of having my pic taken by you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 Thanks for all the nice compliments about the photos, guys. I just got this digital camera last year, so I'm really just a beginner.... Fortunately, you just point it at the target and push the button and the camera seems to do all the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper_999 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 very, very nice pics! Do you know the date of the next nationals and where they are? These pictures makes appetite (is it the right word for it?), to go for that match! We just had german nationals two weeks a go - also a very nice match with roundabout 40 Revo-men and 250 Rounds! Have fun in Ecuador! And have a look for Ricardo Lopez from Ecuador - he won the german nationals.... best regards and DVC! Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sascha <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey Sascha Do you know the winner of the super senior revolver winner? His name is Helmut Goetz, if he is the same person I know then would you tell him "hi" and all the guys from El Paso and Alamogordo say Hi also. He retired from the German Air force and was stationed at Ft Bliss and Hollaman AFB a couple of years ago, and use to shoot with the USPSA clubs out there.

michaels Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Michaels, Lucky Dan managed to shoot a very strong match, finishing in third place overall. Here's another photo of Dan from his good side--I did my best to avoid the other side because of the obvious deformities, since Dan always takes off the Phantom of the Opera half-mask to ensure a full field of vision while he shoots. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup, that's the Dan we sent back to the Nats...that's just how he opens doors, either on the range or at home... michaels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Rob, MY THOUGHT EXACTLY !!!!!! Good pics though even if they are from a "BEGINNER" Cooper_999 USPSA has not announced where and when the Nationals are for next year, as some of the guys in administration are not very good at it and can't seem to plan very far ahead. great match !!!!! even though it was the Limited Nationals......with production and Revolver Divisions now back to the pictures......

Carmoney Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 Here's one of Rudi Waldinger. Rudi's theme song is "My Way" because he never hesitates to shoot a stage differently than the rest of the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopalong Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 QUOTE... Randy, The gun ran great..... If anyone wants to know the best place to get your gun tuned up, ask Randy ! He can point you in the right direction.... Cliff UNQUOTE B**t Kissing sounds heard between FLORIDA and ARIZONA !!!!! on a more serious note. Sure would be nice to get some more of you "Westerners" to come shoot, might even make 30 next year !!!!! (Randy and crew out west) Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 Despite his lack of match experience, this beginning IPSC shooter has somehow managed to knock down a steel popper. He now stands in utter confusion, with no clue what to do next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Thanks Skip, I think I would have shot 3.83% better if I hadn't been expending all that mental energy gathering all those nice photos..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffwalsh Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Mike, you would do no better than 3.81% and you know it. You new guys don't know anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Tom Mainus, with his trademark leather glove on his right hand. He'll tell you it's to keep from burning himself as he reaches through the cylinder opening to do his left-handed reloads, but if that's the case, why does he wear it 24/7 ???? When Sam and I went to visit him at the Ice House we heard the song "Billy Jean" emanating loudly from Tom's room and there was a lot of rustling around inside. Frankly we were both a little freaked out by this, so we went straight to the car, locked the doors, and drove back to Quincy. In retrospect, I'm sure Tom was merely practicing his reloads, and everything would have been fine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Unfortunately this shot of Sweeney came out a little blurry, but you can see the distinctive profile of his classic non-625 even through the haze! Long live the 25-2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you left at the right time!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
