It was the first contest of this kind (fast shooting, lots of different kinds of target, different stances, reloading, et cetera) I'd ever entered, and most of the shooters were a lot younger. It was hot as hell out there...upper 90's. That's outstanding! Congratulations. I wonder if some of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Reserve Marine types could come close to matching that. I imagine the 'real' Marines would be quite capable. You know, it was so damned hot outside there, I didn't get to talk to as many fellow competitors as I wished. I rode down with a couple of local cops and a fireman. One of the cops beat me by a couple of places. I have no idea what most of the guys who were there do for a living. Most of the competitors seemed to be in their 30s-50's. This was strictly handgun competition. |

I remember that, Economy grade, IIRC. If you asked for Regular, you paid a few cents more, at least at that time, for one of the higher grades. I've got one of those kerosene wick heaters in my garage. The little convenience store that sells good clean kero here dispenses it from an old pump that actually has the scrolling mechanical numbers. My son was just absolutely astonished! Never seen anything but digital! We had one of those on my grandparent's farm. It had a little glass bowl on top so you could see that fuel was flowing. --Mike |
