2021 definitely will be a season and 1000 yard Nationals to remember,hard to know where to start.. well while on a shooting trip to Spickard Missouri (vapor trail valley) in mid June Jim Baur brought to my attention a last minute opportunity to Host the 1000 yard Nationals hmm. Looking back now it may have been a ploy to knock me off my game that sneaky bugger Jim Baur Lol dam near worked Jim.. well it was a challenge worth taking it appears and I want to thank each and every competitor who sacrificed finances to pick up lodging, rental campers etc. last minute as Missoula was A busy packed town the weekend of our Match and picking up lodging was tuff. participation is everything and with out it the venue would have fizzled. Two my Deep Creek shooting Family and range Crew thank you for your continued support and efforts at every match it makes big matches such as these far smoother. As for Lonnie Anderson thank you for your commitment and devotion to look after our club year round I could not pull it off with out you. also I would like to thank our host club Missoula Hell gate for allowing us to adjust and add days to our Nationals schedule on short Notice as Lonnie stated above thank you to all who donated there gear and time very generous to say the least. Also thanks to all who worked our pit rotation as handfuls learned on the fly the steps to be a pit operator thanks as that is always the biggest challenge, we did it. I was pleased to see old friends again and was able to meet a few news ones so nice. big matches and long days can and are tricky if you have shot many of them, but conditions continued to evolve for the good and bad just depending on the set or draw schedule each shooter had, it really was a fun Ride. Chasing my 12 year old's sets as well as my own as well as day commitments had me bouncing around like a popcorn fart in a skillet I would not have it any other way Lol.
Our last HV gun relay of the Match produce 11 DQ's out of 13 competitor that was a first at deep creek. 2018 Nationals produce 5 DQ's last relay of match I remember as I was on bench 13 and not only survived but won the relay with a 6.1" securing a tight 3rd to Mike Wilson HV gun that Nationals funny what we remember. until next time shoot em small..
