First match in 25+ years
Shot SB today and had a blast. Actually scored a little better than expected, but the eyes aren't so good anymore and the wind was blowing pretty hard (and whatever more excuses I can come up with) Thanks to the guys at VRPC in Knoxville, TN for their hospitality, encouragement, and help.

It is indeed a hoot, ain't it? Don't let it be so long till your next match.

Re: First match in 25+ years
When I come off the line in BB and don't do as well as expected, I'm a little down on myself. When I come off the line in SB, I always come off the line with a smile on my face, as I just have so much fun shooting 22's.
Glad to see that you're back into it.

Re: First match in 25+ years
I shot with David this weekend. He shot pretty good with a gun he had no sight settings for. Were going to be in trouble as he gets the sights dialed in. Hope to see you at another match soon.

Re: First match in 25+ years
It's good to see the old shooters come back. Especially one who hadn't shot in 25 years. Glad Mike and David could get together. I hope David can get some of his fellow shooters in Sevierville to go with him the next time.
P.S. Mike. See if you or your match director can put a match report up on the forum. I enjoy reading them.

Re: First match in 25+ years
I don't think you guys are going to have to worry too much. Maybe someday I'll get a gun more suited to this sport than my Ruger Mark III and get a little closer to you all.Mike22 wrote:I shot with David this weekend.
