Who's Immike???
I figure by next year, maybe even July this year someone will get to shoot off point 17 which will have a little headstone that says in memory of lmmike.Your on the wrong thread buddy, gunsmithing is at the bottom of the forum board. Lol
Congrats to my team mate and good friend James Laney...Looks like Snookie and BB made a good run at the end but came up a little short. Good job men.
Mike Allen...This guy has put in the work....He shot his first FTR match last year and maybe had 4-5 matches under his belt total. He checks his ego at the door and is open minded when someone gives him advice. He has worked on his loads and shooting skills on his home range and it paid off for his first "big match". Keep digging Mike, you beat some darn good FTR shooters this weekend,,trust me it's tough out there. lol Good job bud.
A big thank you to Ryan for another great match, and we ended up not even seeing a drop of rain. We had some great food which we owe a big thank you to Ryan, Travis and others I'm forgetting. Everyone needs to try this match and meet Mike at least once he is probably getting to near the end, we are always amazed he has made it another year.
I second James' comments. A great match, good comradry, and terrific hospitality by all of the Buck Snort members. Enjoyed meeting and spending quality time with all.A big thank you to Ryan for another great match, and we ended up not even seeing a drop of rain.

Cristofer and Scott did an awesome job running an efficient and safe line.
Right Mark,,,, I was a little hurt at first, and I'm not even shooting. but I figured I was in good company. Lol..... oh, IMMIKE will have some excuses.
Trapp, you need to get back to Missouri, and shoot sometime.
Didn't go my way this time Keith. ( no beer bet out of you know who)... Mark Walker was on fire this morning...until the crossfire he really shot a good match! I didn't this time so I failed our state while Joe turkey went hunting. Lol The north wind had flags and mirage running opposite of each other with X's and 8's all over the score cards! Weather was pretty nice today so we patted Lamey on the head and sent him back over the border with a big NRA coin in his pocket. Lol.
P.S. He makes a really good breakfast burrito btw!
This is good adviceMike a word of advice, don't ever eat anything a Marine cooks! You never know what is inside of the breakfast burrito! Plus Laney is an Arky, that should have clued you in right there!

Finally got caught up at work so I can add to the thread....
A great match and a memorable first time at Bucksnort. Worth the drive just to see old friends and make new ones. Thanks to Ryan, Michelle, Travis, Mike, Christopher and Scott for running a great match and keeping everyone safe and well fed.
On the FTR side I wanted to give a Michael and David a particular shout-out for their performance on Sat in really difficult conditions. Not sure what indicator you picked up on but your scores were phenomenal considering the frustrating conditions I was experiencing. Great job! Aaron, great job at keeping your cool on day 2 and making a come-from-behind charge to take second place. I really liked that most of us shot together so I know how difficult the wind was making it to hit the center of the target. I personally shot two 7s in one match. One in particular is still haunting me. When the mirage and flags agree that the wind has switched directions and you hold for it, but the bullet goes in the opposite direction, it sure does shatter your concentration as well as your confidence. Thought for a second that I held the wrong direction, but I hadn't. Need to shoot a few matches to get that shot out of my mind, got to replay it over and over on the 10-hour drive home....
And I even got to try frog legs for the first time, and they were tasty. The catfish, crappie, turkey were also excellent. There was also a casserole that was super good. Getting hungry...
