Hey guys it's John's mom. I haven't been on here much, not because John isn't shooting, but I felt bad I couldn't do the silver /gold upgrade. It just didn't feel right to pick all your brains without helping the cause. Good news is I got enough for gold. Now on to guns.
John had a rough senior year with Covid canceling everything. He made JO Trials, but canceled, his 3p air CMP postal was top 10, but canceled. Looking at college but he is studying aviation and you can't do that online so he took a gap year. He is getting his private pilot license in a private club, and shooting daily. In Oct he tried out for the Smallbore National Drew Cup Team in IL. With the gun you guys got him. He placed 3rd in try outs buy a bull to make the team, but in finals he placed 2nd. Below is a nice article about it. John is in the back row with the blue CMP sweatshirt. Then Dixie Double where he shot a PB 593.7. Best of all we got to watch Katie Z make finals. God she is so good and nice. So 2 weeks till WAG in CMP Ohio. John now has a heater to help practice longer now that winter is here. Consistently in 95-97 range paper international standing so he continues to improve 3-4 pts a year. It's mental now. Not letting the 9s get to you.
