Chris Keen Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Well, ok if you're gonna twist my arm like that, then I will. This pic was all the trophies I earned in 2007. Shot 10 majors that year, and won 6 of those 10. 2 Open / 4 Limited. Edited May 26, 2009 by Chris Keen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1b Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'm not going to post a picture of a plaque wall because I don't have one. But I would like to share a little advice if you are at all like me and tend to like sentimental things. Back in the hay day I won a few plaques. And, for a while there I had a nice little trophy wall built up. Then I moved and the plaques went in a box. I unpacked them, but never really hung them up. They layed around the house for bit. Then I moved again, and they stayed in the box. And moved again, and they stayed in the box. And now I'm moving again. Point is, over the years in all these moves they've seen some wear and tear. Primarily because a couple of those times I simply failed to wrap them right. So now some of my most precious wins are plaques with scars on them. My CA state stockgun championship which I'll probably forever believe was my best win - has a nice scrape across the front. My first state championship in Alaska, pretty scarred. My Area 4 wins, area 2 wins, President's cup win, many decent placings at nationals - all of them have dents and dings. Granted they are all just wood and the memory counts the most. But I really wish I'd taken better care of them now. So keep those trophy walls up if you're like me. Keep 'em clean and pretty. Someday when you are telling people you were once pretty good at this game you'll have nice hardware to show that it's true. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting ready to move again myself after 7 years in this house. And I found some jumbo Ziplock bags, big enough to put a large wall plaque in. Each plaque went in a seperate bag, and then put some bubble-wrap in between each plaque in the box. (by the way Vihta Vuori boxes are pretty awesome boxes for packing away the trophies.

uscbigdawg Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 edgerat - Wakal has a government job. Heck...there's a known shooter that had his SOF Team Trophy proudly displayed in his corporate office. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Mine all look like money and I keep them in a remote location. Think I outgrew the me wall as we used to call them, now all the military and shooting stuff resides in a box (carefully packed I might add).

Toolguy Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) This is my trophy room. All are 1st place except for 2 2nd overall. Most are PPC, some are Bullseye, Bianchi, Metallic Silhouette, and IDPA. All were won with some sort of S&W revolver. My girlfriend, Tracy (thock) is starting her own trophy case. She is doing really well. I'm very proud of her. Edited May 27, 2009 by Toolguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know you probably have boxes and boxes full of them, and you're probably trying to figure out where to put them all. ETA: By the way, your new camera takes beautiful pictures.

joecichlid Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Matt, your wall looks a LOT like mine. LOL Actually I do have ONE award, High Unclassified Open Shooter from the 2005 Area 3 match. I about died laughing when I found out they actually had enough unclassified Open shooters to have an award. And I did it with a single stack Open gun in .45 ACP because that is all I had to shoot. That year was fun if you ignore the rain, the heat and the sunburns. It gave me a chance to shoot with a lot of great people. Joe W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgunz11 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I think the pics of the drill and the screw were subliminal messaging. He was photographing the tools needed for mat to start building a house big enough to hold all his trophies. I would take a picture of my trophy wall, but I don't think my wife would like me nailing her to the wall for a photo, she is by far my greatest accomplishment in life.

You gotta love a guy who knows when and who to suck up to. You are just hoping like hell she reads this post. You do have a good one bro......hold on tight. I think we both married out of our league.

herky Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 In most supervisor and manager's offices, this is known as the "scare wall". Had one boss who framed every one of the certificates he ever received. Not nearly as effective as he thought it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
