Arizona State Palma Championship

[AllanR21]

Where to start?

First and foremost a huge thank you to the Desert Sharpshooters for putting on one of the best matches I have ever had the privilege of shooting in. These good folks know how to do things right. From Fred, who ran the line to Jack, who ran the pits, this thing went off like clock work. Truly a work of art. Ben Avery is absolutely a fantastic place to shoot.

Watching Allan and David slug it out was something I'll never forget. These two cats can shoot. I was fortunate to be on the same target with them Saturday when David shot lights out and Allan was applying two tons of pressure. Watching two shooters of this caliber go at it is something few get to witness firsthand. Dang near worth the trip in its own right.

Scott and Rocky. Man, you two guys are relentless. You keep thinking surely, one or the other, or hopefully both, will slip up and make a mistake, but oh hell no. It was tooth and nail right down to the last shot. I've never walked away from the line with more respect for two excellent shooters than I did today. It was just fun. And I congratulate both you guys for being excellent sports. If my math is correct, 1323 by 1350 is 98%. Dang hard to win a match shooting against that.

Last but not least, kudos to Christine Harris. A salty shooter in her own right, but a world class score keeper this weekend. She wasn't shooting this weekend, but was snookered into keeping score for not just one, but two shooters at a time during much of the match. She never missed a beat. She was truly impressive. Thanks again Christine, heck of a job!

Thanks for the kind words Dean. It was a pleasure shooting with you! The match was so much fun and Desert Sharpshooters did a fantastic job running the show ;D

Congratulations to those who shot High Master Scores in FTR, The winner, Scott Harris, Rocky Felix and you Congratulations to David Gosnell. Great shooting ;D

See you at the Berger Match

I do not want to hijack the thread. I am interrested in the location of an equipment list as I used to shoot his in Wisconsin, many years ago.

To my knowledge there wasn't an equipment list for this match. We (F-Class) have filled out equipment lists for a couple of matches but I have yet to see anything published. Maybe I don't know where to look? That would be a lot if information for someone to compile. If a computer guru would start a spread sheet I would add mine. It would be interesting to see what other shooters use.

On another note:
Thanks to all for the kind words. A jump in classification in no way compares with the friends I've made shooting. To rub elbows with not only the best shooters in the world, but the best people in the world, has far exceeded any expectation I ever had when I started F-Class. Thanks again, DQ
