What exactly are we paying for?

[IHMSA80x80]

May be why we dont have anymore
members than we do, too damn hide-bound to even entertain
a different idea. LIke when Remington brought out that bolt
production xp! Man, you woulda thought the sky had fallen, the
way the big shots in IHMSA acted! Well, guess we showed them, didnt
we? THEY JUST QUIT BUILDING XP-100'S ALTOGETHER!

Can you elaborate on that?

congrats on the 40X40. may you shoot many more of them. allen

Ditto on the 40x40. It is so hard, and such a thrill to get that first one, but once somebody does that, they seem to achieve it somewhat frequently after that. Hope you get many more in your future!

Hello Tonedaddy, we also have KickBass commenting on a regular basis, he is a mover and a shaker with a ton of excellent positive ideas and nearly boundless enthusiasm. With his help we can make things better. While he may not be a region director, he is still a powerful and convincing force. Well educated, well spoken, always a gentleman and always willing to listen.
I will do my best to read the forums more often, address concerns, deliver ideas to the board and try to me a positive and helpful as Allan and Joe.

Thank you

I say Joe Frey for president and the old folks should go to the rest home

Or Joe Cullison for President--there is a reason I'm commonly referred to as "the other Joe"! I get a lot of my enthusiasm for this sport from mentors such as Joe & Tina.

ToneDaddy,

I really have appreciated the positive correspondences we have had lately. A few years ago, I traveled to Oklahoma for the first time, just wanting to know and learn from all the great things I had read about them down there, and I have now traveled from CO to OK for their state shoot for four years just because of that initial experience. I see the same things in Ohio, lots of great shooting scores and I hear a lot of great stories from up your way. I truly hope to make it up that way sometime.

Until then, keep shooting,
Joe

Joe, Tina says she is no mentor, just enthusiastic.
Be well, shoot great and travel safe.
We will see you soon.
Joe

Tina is a mentor! The way she volunteered to spot for me (and helped a ton) at last year's WCC after spotting your 1000 guns, I'll never forget that. More importantly, I hope she is a mentor for my wife... Best I can get out of Pam is about 3 guns spotted. But I did get her to start shooting this year, as well as our 11 year old daughter. They'll do anything to get out of spotting!

Looking very forward to seeing both of you in a couple of weeks.

Joe

[KickBass]

That might get confusing--ha ha!

[jcunclejoe]

Tina says we could then always just blame Joe..... and be right.

Joe, or am I the other Joe? Wait, I'm pretty sure I am me.
