Congratulations to Kenny Porter and Charles Freeman as well. Two awesome sling shooters.

No doubt Kenny is super awesome person and shooter. I don’t know Charles but he sure shot extremely well. I had the pleasure of sharing a lane with Yvonne. It’s sure impressive to watch the entire shooting process! Making a wind call each time, then getting steady aim with only a sling, get breathing under control, then executing a perfect shot. Yvonne’s waterline was among the best I had seen including many open shooters. Really cool to watch..!

I think Erik has an advantage, Johnny. I don't think he sleeps. Erik frequently rises at zero dark thirty to pour concrete and works all day and sometimes into the night. His shooting alone is impressive, but in context...

Nice shooting guys! It's no small task to win in Texas.

Around Palo Alto Warren (Charles) is known as Warren "THE MACHINE" Freeman... Outstanding shooter and a great guy!

Congrats to all the winners. Sure had some humbling changes this weekend.

Thanks Johnny! It was a pleasure shooting with you as well. It was nice to mix up the line and have "slingers" in amidst all the F-class folks.

Well done, Gentlemen!

 

[rardoin]

Also it was great to have the Cannucks come down for the match. Gordon Holloway took 2nd in F-TR.

 

[Down South]

Congrats to all the winners! Great shooting this weekend guys in tricky conditions.

Also, great meeting and shooting with the guys from Canada. I think they had a good time as well.

I couldn’t agree more! This was my first time to actually appreciate the art of sling shooting. I was just amazed how well you all can shoot these rifles with such precision (from a sling and only an aperture!) sure I have seen the scores and I know you all shoot very well... but to actually see the setup and the process of the shot...Very cool how the eTarget has helped enhance the shooting experience to see first hand and appreciate the different shooting techniques.
