Berger Match Results F-Open

[Killshot]

When I shot the two 8s for the first two shots for record (second relay at 1000 yds), my first inclination was to roll over and play dead as I had 18 more shots to go!

That really shows the kind of focus it takes to win at this level.

Well done!

Good to know there were so many forum members there. I wish I would have met some of you.

We spoke for a bit At the end of the match. You were razing Steve Blair on the X count. It was pretty funny

Allan and I shot together at the AZ Championship. And, except for this unfortunate tendency to find other's failures funny, he's a pretty good guy.

You know me, I have that dark side, lol besides, my failures for the match were funny enough :'(

Considering how much I struggled just to stay on the standard LR target on Sunday I don't know how you F-class shooters manage on yours. Was that smoke I smelled, from you guys spinning your windage knobs so much? Just kidding. Next year I will be joining you at the big end of the line in F-TR. I have a lot to klearn.

Courtesy Mr. Rick Curtis, attached are the Sling scores. Thanks, Rick.

Five of the Top 10 are from Texas. And Texas only has ONE 1000 yard range.
I would also like to brag that the guns the five Texans were using - I barreled.
It was one tough four days. You would think you had it figured out - and up pops a REALLY wild shot. Killers.
Had a great time with ALL the shooters.
THANKS

Richard, not to forget that the entire Texas crown was not there.

I have no complaints about the barrel you chambered for me, that thing flat out shoots!

 

[Steve Blair]

If all those Texans were there, how did a left coaster win? And that doesn't even bring up the matter of Alabama, Kentucky, Wisconsin and (gasp) California. I did notice that Texas seemed over represented on the entire roster. Maybe it's a shotgun strategy. If you throw enough Texans at something, one is bound to stick.

Steve, if we won them all, people would stop coming to these matches, we have to keep it interesting you know! ;D

I'll bet that's the real reason Mark and Ken couldn't attend.

 

[Kings X]

I miss counting John Myers in the top ten. Sorry that is six of the top ten and 11 of the top 20.
I don't know about the West Coast - but I drove through West Texas where Freddy and the Tex-Mex bunch hail from - and 20 MPH wind is a CALM day out there.
My hat is off to everyone at the match. We all had a least ONE good string to brag about. Steve - he had two the last day. I know - I was on the target next to him. He took away all my excuses.
Looking forwar to Texas State in a few weeks. Going to get interesting.
COME ON DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Steve Blair]

I sure would like to come down, Richard. Texas State Championship is a few days after our California Palma. I was talking to Erik about it, had a good flight and could not get either of my darling daughters, both of whom I love deeply, to look after my dog for a few days. [br]
I've often said that the toughest F-Open club in the U.S. is the Houston club and I fully intend to shoot with you guys. Just not this time.
