2022 Rendezvous 2.0/ Gene Ford Memorial

Boy what a great match. 2nd time for me and had just as much fun as the first time. Tom and Sara are the best hosts in the sport. See you guys in 2023. I am coming back with a vengence. 2 years in a row to the Super 7 and I have no hardware, need to fix that. LOL. Great to see everyone and what tremendous competitors and friends.. TomE you let me know if you come back out to shoot Cameo... You are always welcome
 
Congratulations to Tom & Sara for putting on another World Class Event. The level of shooting this event generates is truly inspirational. It is obvious that everyone who attended had a great experience and wonderful fellowship.

I would like to offer up a special CONGRATULATIONS to Tom Kozar. Some great shooting in this match. Many people have helped Me in My short experience in Bench Rest, and Tom is at the top of that list. He represented the Marco Mafia and the Manatee Gang admirably. Tom has plans for more matches this season and I wish Him continued success.
 
This gal broke her own 20 target record at the match, last year Sally shot a 4.242” with a score of 926

This year a 3.644 agg on 20 targets with a 923 score, that is consistency!

5 targets out of 10 were under 3.806 at a grand this year.

That equates to a 40 target Agg over 2 years of 3.943” amazing
With a score agg of 46.22 on 40 as well.

Whatever your doing, keep it up
It works!

Vapor Trail has a extensive staff, so I called in our photo shop gal, Amanda Burke Walker in the wee hours this morning to work on a picture of David Kieffer , I wanted him to be able to share this pic with his friends and all the glory that goes with it.
David won the 8 target score agg at a 1000 yds with a 381 score.

Nice job keeping it in the center!

Glad you and Terry Latsha made the trip you both are always welcome at the valley.82A108A5-594C-412D-A114-BE20C7B125E3.jpeg
 
I'm not sure I can adequately express in words my gratitude to Tom E & Sara, their folks and the Vapor Trail family.

What a class act you all are. You all have the rare talent of making anyone feel like family in about 3 seconds.
It was an honor to be there and compete and spend time with you all.
My wife and I enjoyed your hospitality so much it was hard to pack up and leave.

I finished 22nd last year overall and 5th in 600 score and from that day forward my goal was to at least make the 14 and get an eartag. I knew if I did those two things the I could be happy with my progress.

Being benched with Sally on my left and Mike on my right, hey no pressure LOL and Ronnie hammering out the little bitty groups add Carrol and a few more to relay and finally last opportunity at 600 these folks let me have an eartag.
My match plan from the start was to not beat myself and by Saturday morning I was about to come unwound LOL

Huge thank you to the Deep Creek shooters for getting me started.

Huge thank you to the Elbow Lake shooters.
Both of these clubs have treated me like a long lost friend from the first day I showed up.

Thank you Shawn Williams @ Northridge Rifles I was fortunate to find my way to Shawn and all the friendship & support he's given me.

Congratulations to all the winners you guys and Sally pushed me hard.

Huge thanks to my wife Nicole, this girl puts up with a lot for little recognition most of the time.

Thanks to all, great match!!!!!
