Let the games begin

[jcline]

I have decided to do a small 4 target match Thursday morning before the Tack Driver IV. It is by invitation only and limited to 20 shooters. There will be a random bench draw with one flag allowed per bench. You will have 10 minutes to shoot both the score and group target. You will have to tell me what distance you plan on placing that flag BEFORE you draw a bench. I tried to pick some of the top shooters in the NATION to make this a fun event with the ability to do something outside the normal comfort zone of most. Who will be the winner? Would love to hear your thoughts and predictions. The field is listed below for reference. Will it be Roy ( I have this won) Hunter? Will Bart get beat by Jeff Thompson again? Could it be a Texan? How about a score shooter toping the field? Let the games begin!

I’m not for sure Jeff Thompson can even find his way to the range! Let alone beat anybody!

Bart

 

[JoeDuke]

Ok select nineteen. Here is your chance to throw your shoulders back and loudly proclaim:
I beat Jim Cline like a rented mule!
I cant wait.

 

[JoeDuke]

On a serious note. Jim, thank you for doing this. I know you already have your hands full with all you have to do running the tackdriver. Just another twist to make things interesting.

All I can say is that I went from being top 100... to in the top 20...... Things are REALLY looking up for me!!!!

now somebody tell me how this shooting things works again???? It goes PEW PEW... and then you get a trophy for participation?

 

[JoeDuke]

Wes, you watch the flag, pay attention to the trees and grass, listen to what the other shooters are doing, carefully line up on your aiming point, close both eyes and jerk the trigger.

Ok. I was told just pull the trigger at the same time Bart did..... Thats what I did last year... it kinda worked out for me.

 

[P1ZombieKiller]

We really need to look at this match again..... Is Jim competent enough to do a match like this??? after all.... he has me on a list of folks that makes me remember that good old Sesame Street song "one of things is not like the other. One of these things does not belong".

 

[JoeDuke]

Well, i think he picked a few to try and ensure that he was not dead a— last. Cant figure any other reason for him to put an old blind man in the mix.
Dont anyone tell him I can see again. He might strike me from the lineup.

Joe please don't expose all my secrets! I expect to finish about 21st.

I certainly don't belong in that group after my 2022 finish, but I will be there Wednesday anyway, so why not shoot with the big boys.

How many shirts do you think I'll be able to sell (they match my new tattoo)

The Tack Driver brings back so many fond memories. Ya’ll remember these ladies? Two Years in a Row!

Damned if they don’t look like a Bud Light commercial!

If Wayne would shave,I'd like to have some of that....

 

[StaMoly Jackets]

….Complete loss for words. That’s some funny S$&@!

100% Agree! Well put Mr Joe!

 

[jackieschmidt]

Gotta go with Bart.

 

[Keefe300]

Well if this was a t shirt selling contest I think Bart’s T shirt would win. Lol

I all seriousness this will be an interesting match to see the results from. It’s a diverse group of accomplished shooters and everyone will be shooting the same conditions. With only one flag per bench being called before the bench is drawn, definitely puts a twist on things.

Whom ever wins will have some bragging rights, and possibly a T shirt design.
