Hey Jackie, did you wear that shirt so you can write off the Match as a advertising business expense. Just wondering.

One of the things I take great pride in is our Business. My brothers and I have spent a lifetime building it into the premier shop for Marine Machine Shop repair and new construction.

As for our discussion about Bart, he would be the first one to tell you that in order to acomplish what he has, you must have equipment that is up to the task.

If everyone remembers, last week Bart made some comments about his BR-A, , (the rifle he shot last year), stating that it was having a tendency to spit shots, and he simply did not feel like it was up to the task. He felt like his 6PPC was a better choice.

He obviously made the correct decision.

I agree that yes, it is indeed “the Indian”. But you can be 100% sure that the arrows that Indian has in his quiver are dead straight and fletched with meticulous care.

A great Rifle, a Great Shooter. The results are predictable.

Congratulations to Bart, and all of the winners.

Of course it's the Indian. Doesn't mean we should stop posting equipment lists, though.
I'm the first to tell anyone, you can't buy wins and the man or woman who screws up least, wins.
Yes, the shooter deserves the credit, but that's a given to people that compete. But yes, equipment matters, too.

That said..part of the allure of this match is that it pits different disciplines and different equipment head to head. If nothing else, it's interesting to more people than not.
 
Congratulations Bart and congratulations to everyone who shot the match. I know it’s a great one to attend. Lots of fun. I will try to make it again next year. I’m in Kodiak AK waiting for weather conditions that will allow for a float plane ride or I would have been there this year.

Dave.

The last sentence above sums this match perfectly. Its why you need to make solid plans to attend. And thats just what Jim intended for the match to be.
 
I have to say that this match means more to me than any of you will ever know. It was an idea of Jeff Stover and Harley Baker to have a competition and try to figure out what cartridge was “the most accurate” in a showdown. I sat around 2-3 years listening about it in the Executive board meetings and decided I would take the challenge. Jeff brought it up the following year in the meeting and I happily told him I had it under control and would be the test dummy. Jim Bauer immediately offered $1,000 sponsorship to get this event off the ground and the planning began. I wanted it to be a challenge to EVERYONE that attended and that is why it is an alternation between a group and score target. I didn’t want anyone getting comfortable shooting what they always shoot. The 200 yard target at 300 meters is very challenging as well as Orangeburg, SC! I can say the gathering of the best of the best at one location anywhere in the world is no where near the talent at this event. We have many score hall of fame shooters, group hall of fame shooters, shooters of the year in score , group, long range and ground hog matches. I would like to personally thank everyone that has ever attended this event and ALL the numerous sponsors. The overwhelming support is humbling to me from all aspects of shooting. I would like to thank my wife and son for coming to help and make this event go as smooth as it has. Ken Kaufman is the best range safety officer and I know with confidence, when I hand it over to him he has it under control. THANK YOU AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO MAKES THIS MATCH WHAT IT IS AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU AT TACK DRIVER IV! If anyone that has attended can give me any ideas on how to make it better next year or something you think needs to be changed, you should all have my number. Imitation is the best flattery, OFTEN IMITATED, BUT NEVER DUPLICATED! Thanks JC
