Minnesota Is Awesome: Guess How

[westberg]

Those young ladies are going to catch a cold dressed like that.

[JoeH]

So, are these the number of people who are classified as master in all 5, or just people that have shot a classifier with each of the 5 types of weapons?

Marksmen
Sharpshooter
Expert
Master

We have some of each in Minnesota.

Well then, someone will just have to step up and play 'doctor'.

Dirty old men...

Any insights as to why MN is head-and-shoulders above the rest of the map?

What else are you going to do when winter is 8 months long..................

I'd try to think of something....

I've reached master with all three of them with only one gun..............

You're only as old as the girl you feel.

Thank you for that post!!!!

Rentals. Not snowboards. Those chicks are total posers. They need to get back in the hottub where they belong.

You have to classify at least Marksman. As JoeH mentioned there are other people who have done it but have not sent in the $50 to be listed on the website.

From the IDPA web site:

5 Gun Marksmen

Robert E. Jahn 
Terri L. Zuehlke

5 Gun Sharpshooter

Keith J. Cekalla 
Noel Pillman 
John Sawina 
Jack Smith 
Mike Van Meeteren

5 Gun Expert

Johann T. Boden 
Michael Hammerlund 

...but Dawn and Joe should be on the list, and Keith should be listed under Master.

I didn't know about the $50 to get on the list. That makes the list mean a lot less. Perhaps in that case, the reason Minnesota has more people on the list is because the economy's better than other states and more people feel like spending the fifty.

Could be worse I guess -- the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce charges $30,000 now to put your star in the sidewalk on the Walk of Fame.

Pat, you actually checked into what it would cost to have your star on the sidewalk............

That's just what my agent tells me.

Actually I remembered from when I was there with the family doing the tourist stuff years ago. At the time the tour guide said it was $15K, and yeah, I did just look it up to see if it's gone up. I think the Chamber of Commerce has to at least have heard of you, though.

He did get his picture in a book!

You say that like it's a bad thing

Man, if there's one thing that separates kids from adults: it's snowboards. I'm very glad I gave up downhill before 'they' came along....as are the kids I suppose.

Minnesota is awesome because tomorrow morning at 8am I will be in Edina playing hockey. The goalie at the other end of the ice will be Don Beaupre, who was my idol growing up.

I don't know about IDPA, but the hockey scene in this state rules the universe.
