OKC 600 yd Good Guy Shout Out!!

[Nodak7mm]

I attended the OKC Hi Power Match this past Sat while in OKC for business. Just volunteered to help with stats and stuff. Came time for the team matches, they needed a 4th, I was asked, said I dont have any gear except ear muffs, they said c'mon on down, we got gear for ya.

I went down to the line, got squadded up, on FalconPilot's team,appropriately named Rag Tag) and FalconPilot,Jim) says I am to shoot his rifle and setup.... The Hot Screamin Yellow Zonker Rifle... Lets just say I was blown away by Jim's offer and trust. This rifle is an awesome shooter and so is Jim.

Anyways I had a blast, the Rag Tag's took 2nd in team,only lost first place by x count). But what was super cool was hanging with some pretty great shooters. Thanks to Jim, Matt & Ken for letting me shoot on their team and those guys were just great guys to shoot with. They made sure I was all hooked up and comfy with Jims awesome rifle.. Matt and Jim are the ones that put together that stocked the Screaming Yellow Zonker, beautiful work.

Also, many thanks to Dean Morris of OKC for hooking me up to volunteer and work with Kent the stat guy. Two awesome ambassadors of the OKC shooting ranks..

So my weekend that would have had me stuck in a hotel, was a blast and I got to hang with some super guys and awesome shooters.
