The Best Short Range Benchrest Shooter Of All Time

[D Coots]

Not my wife Mary. Tony has 176 points in the Benchrest Hall Of Fame. Wayne Campbell second at 71, Larry Costa 50. Both learned from Tony. Tony retired from shooting probably 6 years ago. His record will never be broken.

Hi Tony,
I'm glad to see that you're lookin' real good there. Is that a new hat ?

How is Tony doing, Dave? The title of this thread couldn’t be more true. Simply the greatest.

Hope he's got another SOY in him, to match his World Titles! Glad to see he's up and about. A true legend.

Looked to have 3 new hats. He just had hernia surgery 3 weeks ago. He's doing well and his back is OK for now.

I might add one of the most unpretentious, down to earth men you could ever meet.

Hey Dave, did Tony impart any words of wisdom or give you a good pep talk for next year?

We missed you at St. Louis this weekend.

Ya he did Jerry. After reading the reports of my shooting the last year and a half he said....take 2 weeks off......



Then Quit.


Working at getting my ducks in a row.


Tony is a great guy, and a legend for sure. Never forget the conversations I've had with him. Dean can relate also.

Later

Dave

Now that's some good humor!
