John Thompson Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 I made Master class in Limited 85.872%. A37487 I now have instant credibiity, it only took almost seven years. It took it out of me and this is my peak. It's time to coast for awhile. (Edited by John Thompson at 4:41 pm on Mar. 14, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikW Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 "I'm in a groove now, or is it a rut?" congrats JT P.S. How'd it take 7 years with that USPSA #? Did you shoot for two years before joining? I'm A36569 since May 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted March 18, 2002 Author Share Posted March 18, 2002 Thanks for the great feedback. What other gun forum can you post an acomplishment and not get flamed? None that I know of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Allow me to share your thunder John...... as I also joined the fraternity of Limited Masters this month. It took me one year to the month from when I first joined USPSA. There's plenty of room for improvement though, for I got handed a piece of humble pie today shooting 85% of a local GM's score. The next 10% jump to GM will be the most intensive learning experience yet! How the hell does this guy beat me by 3 seconds on EVERY stage?? Maybe I should retire the Glock20? Thanks to all the contributors on this forum, especially you Brian! You guys/gals helped a lot! #A44698 (Edited by TDean at 9:44 pm on April 14, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Congrats to both. Getting an M card is very hard. Winning M is even harder. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbadaboom Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!! Good job on hitting 85.872% of the top limited shooter in USPSA. You're a lot closer to the top than you are from the bottom so just study the cause to improve the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpty1 Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Great job T! You're just kidding about giving up the Glock right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDean Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 tee-hee...Appreciate it gents! Chris, I'm saving my pennies now for a top-o-the-line Limited gun. I'll always keep the Glock that "got" me to M-class, but progressing to the next level warrants a tool with a higher quality trigger. I certainly won't sell the G20, but to get past 94.99% will take all the help I can get. Not to mention, having another gun is always a good thing, right? For now, I'm still gonna shoot that Glock as best I can at Nationals. Bigbadaboom, John is actually the top 14% of Limited shooters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbadaboom Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 TDean Please reread my post, slower this time. I said "Shooter", singular, i.e. Todd Jarrett. John is at 85.872% of Todd Jarretts 100% just as I am at 57.768% of Todds 100%. Gotcha! In the end who cares. It's all semantics. LOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
