Thanks,
I’m not done yet, but I will be tonite!

Honestly I enjoy it, I like putting the match on, I like getting together with great people, and I really like giving away stuff at the end of the match. I like to see folks enjoy themselves and get away from the grind of everyday life.
Passion, sometimes I have let it wane, then I get a second wind and go again.

I said this would probably be the last time a while back, I’ll do it again someday for sure, it just won’t be IBS, until leadership changes in one position , Sara and I just don’t treat people that way and can’t be apart of it in the future, hope for a change is all we can do!
I have been a huge supporter of the IBS since 2011 , went to one match and was hooked came home, built a range so my friends would have a place close, what a learning curve it was. When I was building it, I asked my dad what he thought, his exact words “ well if no one comes your gonna have one hell of a personal range”

Looking back it’s been fun, it’s has had its up and downs for sure, but I’d do it again, the trouble never really started until he was elected.

There has been so many people like you Dave that have come out of the woodwork to help at this match,
I’m blessed with great friends coast to coast!

People tuning guns all week, eating good every night, and a few drinks at the fire, what more can you ask for outta life.

Maybe a National title or two!

 

[DHuffman]

You & Sara keep doing what you're doing the way you want to do it, it's working!
Can't wait to be back down there!
