Flexmoney Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Well, I doubt that the scores have been sent in, but... It sounds like Tom Dean has made GRAND MASTER in Limited. And...Steve Anderson has made GRAND MASTER in Open. The cool thing is, they have different shooting styles (from what I know of them)... Steve shoots accurate, but fast. Tom shoots fast, but accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ankeny Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Oh man, I really hope they make it. That's one hell of an accomplishment. Way to go guys. I think I have "classification envy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Mink Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Ditto, including classification envy. Fantastic, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Steve shoots accurate, but fast. Tom shoots fast, but accurate. Thanks Kyle, it's amazing how these 2 totally contrasting styles get the same results! Funny stuff Good job Steve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3quartertime Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Congrads to both of ya!!! This just proves my theory that Steve A isn't human... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Way to go Guys! Steve -- guess that dryfiring routine really paid off, huh! Tom, do you think you would have made it in the same timeframe with the G20? Congragulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I have really calmed down a bit since memorizing the Eric Grauffel video...better at trusting my speed. It feels great now, but it won't be real til the card shows up. Here's hoping... SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Dang Steve, now I finally figured out what all that dust was in front of me...it's you blowing me away! BTW, how's my belt fund goin? Seriously though, way to go. It's an awesome accomplishment that I knew you'd be making someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcoliver Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Congrats TDean and SA. Impressive! I have really calmed down a bit since memorizing the Eric Grauffel video...better at trusting my speed.It feels great now, but it won't be real til the card shows up. Here's hoping... It's okay to let the emotions in Steve, while you're not shooting anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Oh, there will be some emotion when the card arrives. I have a little dance I do...call it the "hipsy" dance. It only gets used after: a. Extreme elation b. Adult beverages c. BOTH (Hipsy= Happy+Tipsy...as in, "I'm not drunk, I'm just Hipsy" ) Still in awe of the sheer power of goal setting, determination, and an hour of dry fire, SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 I have seen the Hipsy Dance. What is even funnier is the Hipsy Dancer trying to 'aaaahh'splaine it'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Mink Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 When I get my 'G', can I do the hipsy dance too, or is it patented? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Steve shoots accurate, but fast. Tom shoots fast, but accurate. LOL, Congrats you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmercury2 Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 fast and accurate? hmmm. i never thought of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Well Matt, There's too versions... One is more of a "Riverdance of Joy" and the other is a "hipsy" individual trying to show he can still control his limbs... I'll likely do both when the card comes, you may indulge as you feel you need to... SA Spook, Thanks a lot! 3QT, Thanks for the kind words, but the irony is this: It is a spectacularly HUMAN achievement, earned with determination, focus, and hard work. It's freely available to you and everyone else who's willing to put the time in. Thanks again, SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
