George rubbing elbows with BIG DOGS in Oak Ridge-Waterdog sets record

[birdog]

I was there in Oak Ridge in Aug, 2007 when Waterdog, Larry Isenhour broke the 600 yard small group IBS record. 0.943 inch for 5 shots. I had went by Somerset , Ky and spent Friday night with George and took george to his first 600 yard match. He brought home a piece of wood that day with his Savage 6.5 x 284. It had a John Deere green stock. I was in the pits when George shot his group that got him recognized. Everyone had finished shooting but George. He was shooting slow and his shots were falling in the ten ring. Everyone in the pits gathered around George's target and with each successive shot a cheer went up and George kept them all in the 10 ring. Only time I every witnessed all the guys in the pit cheering for a competitor.
Pictured are mangy nationals winners and record holders. from left to right the ones I recognize. Sam Samuel Hall , Larry Isenhour, george Coleman, Jerry Sherratt, and standing rangemaster, James Phillips
