Competitive Shooting

[Iowa 409 Guy]

My other interest.

Last week at the NBRSA Nationals in De Soto, Ks i qualified to go to France in August of 2011 to represent the USA in benchrest competition. I will be one of 12 people in the USA representing our country. I have been doing this competition for 10 years and have tried for the last 6 to be on the team. I came in 13th 4 years ago and two years ago my back was so messed up i could not make the qualifying matches. Making the World Team is one of the most prestigous honors to have accomplished in this sport and i am honored to compete for my country. The other is to make the Hall Of Fame. I am one happy dude. I turned 63 on Wednesday and made the team on Friday. What a week. There were 160 shooters and i made the top 20 in all the big events.

Great shooting Dave. If I recall breathing is quite important. I myself could not hit the broadside of a barn with a shovel full of bb's. Not that bad, but almost. It is quite an accomplishment. Good luck Brian

Yes I did Mike. I'm working on it. I don't think anybody except maybe Verne Franz knows all the early codes. I have a pretty good guess I'll get to you tomorrow.
I've got a lot of things going on all at once here. Got an engine sold to a guy from Calgary who's in town right now, working on an airplane , my Corv8, and my 66 Corvette may be in paint sometime before Christmas. I'm too old for all this excitement.:
