Most pics are in my phone yet.

Or go to my FaceBook page.

Or to the FCSA FB page.

Good Shooting Jim !!!

As to my groups, I shot "poorly" but beat Jim by 20 positions in 2-gun competition.

I captured Doug's pictures. Here are a couple. He also has a picture of the group, with the spotters removed. I will also get a close picture of the "Skip Talbot" Award (Skip was the founder of the FCSA).

It was shot with what used to be your 50. It has been slightly modified ;)

Here's a picture of the plaque and the spotter disk. I'm truly honored to receive this plaque.

Congratulations, nice shooting.

Better be carful though, you keep beating Oldman and he may make you walk home. :lol:

He may be going to his next match alone although he may take my specialized 50CAL trailer for support - I've been scheduled in for multiple tests starting the 24 of August, tests that take several days to complete. I've asked for a delay until after the Labor Day Match at the Hoffland Range near Alliance Nebraska. Either way - Jim does the majority of the driving for me - especially after I fell asleep at the wheel nearly driving off the washboard road at 15 mph at the NRA Whittington Center several years ago.
