Re: 2012 K & M Precision Rifle Competition - 3-4 March

Shannon & Bryan:
Thanks for the effort and the outstanding facility. I can not tell you how impressive that it is that 8 weeks ago it was natural terrain covered in trees and y'all put on a highly focused and well managed major match. Wish my gear would have held up, but there is next time.

To those that didn't make it - you really need to visit the K&M facility - great folks, great place.

Thanks,

Re: 2012 K&M Precision Rifle Competition **RESULTS**

Special thanks to Shannon and Bryan for coming together and starting K&M. What an awesome facility!! You guys have certainly hit a home run, as was said earlier. This match is why I started shooting in the first place. I left this weekend with more skill, knowledge, understanding, fun memories, friends, and sand than I started with. The stages were challenging but had plenty of fun factor instilled to keep even the newest shooter in the game. I don't have a lot of these matches under my belt, but have to say I walked away with the biggest grin on my face after one. Shannon, the Friday train up was well worth the money. I learned so much that I don't get to practice on my home range with movers, long range, and the one on one advice that you and George were able to lend concerning milling, positional shooting, etc. Thank y'all for offering it to us.

Once again the sponsors that stepped up and made the prize table look like my shopping list the day after winning the lottery was completely humbling. As a small company owner I hope to one day be able to promote the sport the way you guys do. Not only do I use y'all products in my own shooting gear, but have proudly become a dealer for a lot of you and recommend your stuff to customers as well. It's easy to do when you see it out on the line performing so well. Know that the exposure it gets in these matches is exponential.

John, Dustin, Jeff, and all the other competitors who rose to the top showed some solid shooting on a challenging course made even more difficult by mother nature. Congratulations guys, you earned it!!

Shannon, Bryan... A fly by of vintage Corsair!!! Really? Are you kidding me? How are the rest of us MD's gonna keep up with that?

Actually folks, that was the icing on what was an awesomely prepared cake. My hats off to you for building such a wonderful facility, and then mixing in a killer match. I am already looking forward to the next event.

Then there were the shooters. Y'all rocked some seriously fun and challenging stages. Congratulations to John, Dustin, and Jeff for the podium finishes.

Thanks to George, Mike, Don and all the others that stepped up to RO and gave back to our sport. You guys were great. Mike, remember, RTFB!

Thanks as well to the sponsors that provided such a wonderful prize table. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Morris family... you guys rock! Thanks for the hospitality that you showed us in Rayville after a long and grueling weekend. Ask Grandma what time breakfast is in the morning. I just might drive back 5 hours just to enjoy the wonderful food and the company of such a great family.

Finally, thanks to Captain Fishbowl for hanging out in my truck with me for the 24 hour round trip. It was great sharing stories with you. BTW, don't quit your day job and become a navigator! Good luck to you and ROB/BOB/ROBERT with the Shreveport match. I'm sure you will kill it just as Brian and Shannon did.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Congrats to John for the victory! It seems he should hold the world record for working a bolt. It's amazing to see. Humble and a standup guy.

Way to go Dustin for a strong second day. It was cool watching you light it up!!

Thanks Wade, Benjie, and Jim for all the help during the rain. I owe you guys!

Re: 2012 K&M Precision Rifle Competition **RESULTS**

Ditto to all of the great compliments about the match. It was a great experience all around. Thank you!

Thanks to all of the sponsors. It was an impressive list of sponsors for this match.

Does anyone have more backgorund info on the Corsair that flew a Close Air support mission for us. That was impressive. Someone said he is a hide member.

Re: 2012 K&M Precision Rifle Competition **RESULTS**

Wow! What a weekend, I'm just now getting a chance to express my thanks to everyone involved in putting this great match on. The weather went from soaking rain Saturday to pristine conditions Sunday morning, and a couple strafes from a Corsair added to the excitement. Shannon, Brian and all the others did a lot of work in a short amount of time, and it really showed.
I want to thank the ROs for their hard work and outstanding conduct. I never once heard a single complaint from a competitor; my hat is off to you guys.

Sponsors, you really stepped up to support this match and the shooting sport as a whole. I've only shot a few matches, but when I consistently see sponsors at events like this; they get my business.

Finally I want to personally thank George Gardner for both ROing and contributing to the prize table one of the finest guns made. This was the premier prize of the match. After shooting a stage (and missing) George had an uncanny way of complementing me and letting me know I screwed up. I picked his brain a couple of times on technical issues with guns and equipment and he was always eager to lend advice. To be so lucky and win a GA Precision custom made rifle was THE paramount moment for me, a great rifle from a great guy. Now when I don't hear the word IMPACT, I won't be able to blame my gun.

Thanks again everybody. A lot of hard work by a bunch of great guys and girls made it happen for the enjoyment of everybody else.

Sincerely

Grant

Re: 2012 K&M Precision Rifle Competition **RESULTS**

I almost forgot to say thanks to GrantB, Ritten, Barney and Don for making it to this comp. I am glad to see others from my state making the effort to get out and see the bigger picture. Everytime you come back from one of these, you carry with you the ability to share info and techniques with your friends and other club members. All of this gives you the ability to be a mentor to others. It helps grow our sport, make better rifle shooters and even educate those that can't or wont shoot.

Everybody be safe.

Re: 2012 K&M Precision Rifle Competition **RESULTS**

What an amazing match. That was the fourth match I have competed. It was for sure the best match of the four. I really appreciate all the hard work Bryan and Shannon put into the range, and COF. They really did a great job at keeping everything fair.

Just a quick thanks to all the other competitors for showing good sportsmanship. I learned so much from watching all of you.

Re: 2012 K&M Precision Rifle Competition **RESULTS**

Bryan and Shannon another thank you for putting on one heck of a match!!! I know you two are due for some R&R. The COF was challenging but achievable (if you are on your game).

I would also like to thank the ROs you guys and gals were awesome, kept thing moving and were professional about it. That many people and to keep the flow as smooth as it was says a lot.

Thanks to all the vendors you guys stepped up in a big way.

As always it was good to see everyone again!!!

Congratulations John, Dustin, Jeff

A few new guys I shot with did awesome for the first time out; you guys did better than you think. Keep up the good work and the best of luck with your new addiction, lol.

Re: 2012 K&M Precision Rifle Competition **RESULTS**

I honestly dont think I have ever been to a "bad" match, but there are certainly those that stand out and this match stood out in a BIG way.

What an impressive facility. I have been to a number training facilities and K&M may be the nicest I have seen to date and they literally just started clearing trees 2 months ago, unbelievable!!! I cant even imagine what it will be like 2 years from now, it might have to be called the Rifle Training Metropolis.


What can I say that hasn't already been said. The match was awesome. The stages were very challenging for the experienced shooters of the sport yet there were stages that were very doable for any first timers that came out. In my book that is HUGE. The last thing anyone wants to do is scare off any beginners by having an insanely difficult course of fire. The main objective is to grow the sport and I would say this match very easily achieved that.


Brian and Shannon, you guys are unbelievable. Everything from the facility, to the match,to the scoring, to the sponsors, WOW!!! What a way to debut!!!!


George Gardner, man I know it had to be hard for you to watch everyone else shoot while you RO'd. Well I am just here to say that we sure as heck appreciate it Sir. You are a staple of this community and it wouldn't be the same without you. You are always willing to help guys when they need it, whether they are new or experienced and that says a lot. So THANK YOU.

To all the other RO's and score keepers, Mike Rogan(pleasure seeing you as always),Ron Alvarez(nice to see you again Ron), Brian's daughter(hope you didnt get to cold on Saturday) and a bunch of others- Thank you so much for all you did this weekend and sticking it out through the not so great weather on Saturday
smile.gif



Terry Cross, what can I say. I have looked up to you even before I knew you. Having you as what I would call a friend now is simply just an honor. You have done more for this sport than I think you will ever know, and continue to do so. Thanks so much for sponsoring yet another match. I look forward to putting the KMW stock to good use once I get her all put together.BTW, we do need to get the whole muzzle brake segregation movement going again
smile.gif



I would also like to congratulate my friends John,Dustin,Jeff,and Rich on there exceptional performances. You guys are packed up pretty tight on that score sheet.



What a great match. Wasn't until I was typing this that I even remembered that it rained most of the day Saturday- It was just that great of a match. I cant wait to go back.



Scott

I am not sure who if anybody made a call to make it happen or the dude just did it on his own but the F4 Corsair doing 2 VERY low level buzzes down the range Sunday was M()&tha F9^*king AWESOME! We thought you were going to have to use your windshield wipers to clear the pine needles off of your front windscreen!

I hope you saw me giving you a double thumbs up. I was the one holding a rifle and wearing muddy camo.
smile.gif



Thank you very much for taking the time and burning the Av Gas. Super classy and EVERYBODY was jazzed by your flying and your plane.

AMERICA!!! Hell Yeah! </div></div>

I was shooting the movers on the tower when that guy came over. I think I soiled myself a little when he came over the tower on the first pass. I could feel him coming and I could hear everyone reacting to something haul'n @$$ my way but I had no clue what it was and that mover wasn't stopping for a piss break. I got to see him on the second pass over and that little barrel roll was awesome. He definitely gets a thumbs up from me. I'm gonna pack some depends for the next match though.

To Shannon, Brian and all the RO's you guys rocked this one out of the park. Under the weather circumstances everyone remained positive and that made a huge difference in everyone's mood. I really don't think you could have done a better more professional job than what you guys did. My hat goes off to you and thanks for everything!

Hopefully someone has some video of that plane. I know Patrick did. I'm sure people weren't snapping too many photos in the rain on day one but if anyone has anymore photos I'd love to see them.

Re: 2012 K & M Precision Rifle Competition - 3-4 March

I didn't attend the match but got feedback from several guys I know who participated.
Sounds like a top quality bunch of people put on an outstanding match.
Hopefully I can make the 14 hour drive for the next match.

Re: 2012 K&M Precision Rifle Competition **RESULTS**

Gentlemen,

We are delighted you all enjoyed the facility and match. Your response and feedback has been absolutely humbling to Bryan and me. What started off as a “Hey Bryan, let’s run a match” quickly spiraled/turned into a full blown facility and then some. Thank you to all the shooters who came out for your professionalism and safety. Congrats to the winners!

A huge thank you to those who encouraged us and then publically supported our idea. You know you are! By posting online, having discussions throughout the community and attending our match you put your names behind us. Your names have influence, and that provided the boost we needed to let people know we are serious about what we do and to get us started. You went out of your way and took some risks for us; for that Bryan and I will always be grateful. You guys are truly a class act.

Thank you to the Precision Rifle Series committee for the confidence to allow us to be part of an exciting concept. I look forward to growing together in the future.

George – as usual you are the man and as someone said above you are the unsung hero of the match. We could not have done this without you. You are a great friend and have always been too good to me. Thanks bro! Hiissss!

Mike – very similar to what I said to George. We already talked, but thanks again brother. Double Hiss!

Don, Sean, Greg, Eric, and the rest of the RO crew – you all were absolutely critical for making this match happen. I feel like I ordered you guys around, as if you work for me, all weekend. So I apologize and want to thank you for your hard work and time. You guys were instrumental in us putting this match on. The bad part is now you are locked into ROing for us in the foreseeable future.
wink.gif


To the many sponsors below - The support you give the community does not go unnoticed at these matches. I can’t thank you enough and we hope we provided some exposure and business in return. K and M is indebted to you! Thanks guys!

Bosco – bigger hit then we thought! The guys loved the fly over! Not sure how we are going to top that. Thank you many times over!

We hope to see you all in the fall for the GA Precision Match!

Shannon
