I wish I could shoot half that good!

Gotta brag on Katie some more. We just got home from the Spring Selection matches at Ft Benning and Katie did it again. She finished 3rd in 3 position rifle behind Virginia Thrasher and Sarah Beard. That third place finish makes her one of the youngest ever (15) to be selected to a World Cup team. This selection gets her to the Bejing and Munich World Cups. She is phenomenal under pressure. She just kept getting better and better through each stage of the finals. What an amazing young lady!!

Thanks Marc. Sure wish I could’ve been down there. I will see you at JOs though. Katie declined her spot on the team for Beijing. Would’ve been really fun to go to but she has had one hectic shooting schedule as of late. I think she would’ve had to leave right after JOs. She will definitely go to Munich though. It stinks to have to turn down an opportunity to shoot in a World Cup Match but she’s already missed a ton of school this Winter. With her being gone so much I’ve noticed she doesn’t have much time to work on her weaknesses either.

I was going to warn you not to let your wife look through that March scope. I hear it’s too late and she really wants one now too.

Congrats , it is not an easy feat. I think it is wonderful that more women are taking shooting more seriously. One of my favorites is watching biathlon , talk about skiing your guts out. I don't know the young lady but tell her to keep on practicing and eventually 3 gun would fit right in.

Yes, I made the mistake of letting her shoot the rifle first after mounting the scope. BIG MISTAKE!! There has been a new standard set around here for optics now. She demands parity!! I'll be mounting it on her benchrest rifle once we get home. And I will be looking for another one.
