Re: SHWW Group
The Findlay Cup! Holy Cow! What a match.... a two day test of skills, wits, equipment, nerves.... and your sense of humor! Thanks SOOOOO much to Jim, ALL of the RO's, support staff and sponsors.... including a special thanks to the "helicopter guy".... what a privilege that was!
As always, first-class all of the way, and there is no mistaking how much time and planning goes into setting something like this up... let alone, all of the running around, and WORK, that goes into match day itself. I got to speak for a while with Jim, Saturday night, at about 11:00, after the night stage... he was looking like he'd been up for a week
... still in good humor... with a FULL day to go, and all of the break-down ahead of him... Thanks again Jim, for all of your effort, and for keeping the focus on what this is all about..... FUN!
Lots of very good shooters, in a VERY challenging environment... if you were wondering how your gear would fair when wet... after shooting Saturday.... you KNOW.
I wanted to get a shout-out to my shooting partner Tyler (he doesn't hang out on the internet, but I'm posting it anyway
) He was team "Blind Squirrel's" "Carbine Guy", and he carried my sorry ass through the majority of this two day event... We both started out like crap, but when the kid caught fire, he shot out of his head! Taking first over-all out of the Carbine points! Nice shooting kid!
That only edged out our very own Scott (Team Send It) for first in the carbine, by 20 points, out of the total of around 5,000 or so points, that each of those two had compiled... (if I remember correctly)... and Scott did this, despite some relentless equipment issues, beyond his control.... ...As I said at the match... very nice shooting dude, you were solid and consistent the whole way!
Keep in mind, that this was a TEAM event (I myself chose the "Wonder-Twin Power"- "FORM OF: Heavy-ass-Anchor" to counter all of Tyler's good work!
).... I'm only pointing out these two individual efforts, because they are members here of our little Group!.
In the end.... what a Blast! Disneyland for shooters! The helicopter was Magic Mountain.... and my personal favorite... the "Blind Shot"... (forgive me Jim, I forgot the stage name... but it was very cool, and creative)... was like the House of Mirrors!
Lots of grins all around! Hopefully some pictures will start popping up.... I believe Mattj may even have some "Helmet Cam Video"... if he's willing to share.
