I want to personally thank Brandon and gang for the food. I hadn't eaten hardy anything of substance all day and those two burgers were absolute heaven. I appreciate the time and effort very much that you guys put in to make that happen I will post my full report tomorrow as typing hurts from carrying 75lbs or stuff I only used 20lbs of

I would like to thank Chad for encouraging this rookie to bring a rifle and shoot. Things I learned:

1) It always rains at JG's place; be prepared. As a rookie I didn't know I would be the only person with an umbrella. I learned long ago those cheap umbrellas make good, quick improvised shelters.

2) Every bad shooting habit you have will show up at a shoot. Every limitation of your gun you had accepted will become unacceptable. But, you won't realize how bad they are till you go on a shoot.

3) Those 3 round mags which are perfect for hunting really suck shooting the Ferris wheel and gophers.

4) 1 minute shooting rounds are plenty of time to shoot unless you get in a panic. Keep calm, aim, and shoot on

5) It always rains at JG's place. Mud is reality.

Thanks again for letting a rookie shoot.

Looks and sounds like you guys had a good time. I'll have to make the next one.

I want to thank everyone for being safe, and for having patience with target malfunctions, and the mud. Everyone went home with no extra holes in them, and I hope everyone had fun, and maybe learned a thing or two. I went to bed at 9 and woke up at 7, I was whooped!

Next time the food will be near the platform and we will cycle people through between stages. The weather put us running behind all day long. It had not rained out there in more than ten days.

I cause it to rain by scheduling a match.

If that is the case you might want to schedule a match in June, July and Auguat

I'd rather the rain and cold any day over the heat.

If it quits right now, it would be three months before I can get my dirt work done. Maybe I will schedule one for August.

Had a great time as always and big thank you to Brandon for the burgers sorry I forgot to tell everyone there was tomato and onion under all the lettuce lol got one really big salad left over haha. Big thank you to Jason and Chad as always fun match. I got beat by chads son Lane, and wasn't using Chads ammo this time so can't blame that, it's gotta be the gun. Time for a new gun lol.

Thank you brother in law (princess Patrick) for being my cheerleader this year it really helped out. Haha

But at least I didn't walk away with this baby

Is like to thank Jason and Chad for running a great match again. Brandon for doing the cooking even though I had to eat on the run, and Mike for pulling out the "Beached Whale." Sadly I was the only one that had to be recovered from Jason's strategically placed mud.

Sorry my pictures are acting stupid coming from my phone I'll have to fix them when I get to a computer.

First off I would like to say a big Thank You to Jason and Chad, I had a great time this was my first time to do anything like this and had a blast. I am looking forward to the next one.

A huge thanks to Jason, Chad and Judd for putting on a great event and Brandon for cooking some awesome burgers. I had a great time, met some awesome folks and reaffirmed that I absolutely hate off-hand shooting.

Dagummit Fitz ... I knew I shouldn't have taken a nap with all y'all around

Shouldn't have parked truck and trailer on plowed and harrowed ground, down hill from an acre of gravel either.

We considered drawing a mustache on you but decided against it since you had a rifle nearby.

Good shooting bud!

Just a business idea for Jason "Rainman" Garvey, you have a great future in the farming/ranching industry during droughts. Landowners can hire you to schedule a rifle competition at their ranch and the clouds will open up...problem solved!

You could make a fortune, especially in California. Note, since this is my idea, I should get a cut of the business. Just a thought....

I think you are right. I am putting my efforts in the wrong place. Fannin county does not need anymore rain, I should move the match to counties that need it.

Looks like ya'll had a great time, no frowns in any pic's!

Looks great Mike!!

Regardless of the circumstances I'm gonna wear it with pride. She will sit on my mantle until 2017 when we meet again

Did you win that? I thought someone shot a 1 that wasn't you.

Oh and thanks to BIL for donating his entire January to making it. between this and your crooked high rack your craftsmanship never ceases to amaze

I'w with Kyle and Fitz...August would be great if we start at 6 and end by 10, other than that I'd rather shoot in the snow!
Off hand is a waste of good ammo!
