Twenty years ago, I.....

Francis Broussard and I went to what was my first Super Shoot. It was an amazing experience where I met several of the icons of Benchrest shooting. I was so ignorant about what it took to shoot small, I thought that it was easy. Pictured below is Mike Walker, yours truly, and Allie Euber. What a pleasure it was for this red neck country boy to meet such giants of competition. Mike and Allie have passed on, but their legacy has not. The target shown was shot with a Rosenthal/Dodd actioned rifle chambered in .22 PPC-short. I was shooting 25.1 gr. of N133 and Griffin 52 gr. match bullets. I am an occasional PARTICIPANT in local matches now, but am not a COMPETITOR. Thanks for the memories. James.

Time flies James. A Supershoot is where I met you. My first one was 2004. 2005 was a very memorable year. Won a Shilen bbl in the merchandise drawing, a Farley rest in another drawing, some $$$ for other stuff, a Leupold 45 scope for small group in the Hv200(shot on bench 4) and won the Hv200 over 333 other shooters. It was a hell of a day. I think Ron Hoehn won the 2 gun. Any match that Ron and I were at we had a bet on every group/agg/grand/2 gun.

Sure miss that guy.

Good times, good memories.

One of the most enjoyable events of the Super Shoot was the meal provided to shooters by Kathi and Hobie Bond at their lovely home. Thank both of you for the great memories.

Was always a good time at the boil and at Hobie and Kathi's .

I was there. Not sure when my first was but thinking it was '93 or '94.. Many of the great shooters of that era are gone, but I remember them all well. Was a super fun time in my life !

I think Joe was still in grade school James...

The shooting is important, but for many like myself, the friends made are priceless. Pictured here are two friends who are both Hall of Fame shooters. We lost Gene Bukys to Covid. He and Joe Krupa seem to be having TOO much fun.

Memories are great to recall. Thanks for sharing these, guys.

Left to right: Don Powell, Walt Berger, Dwight Scott, Wayne Campbell, Allen Arnett, Tony Boyer, Ron Hoehn, Gerald Masker, Faye Boyer, John Brown, Lee Euber, Bill Forrester. Where else can we meet this many Hall of Fame members? Sadly, several of the above have passed on since this picture was taken. I thought I would post it for those who have not had a chance to attend a SS. PS-There were more HOF members at this SS, but they did not get in the picture.
