He's from the southern part of the state. He was one of three to shoot a rifleman score at the Evansville KD in March. 40 out of 40 hits!

He received his red hat the same shoot this little feller was at with you. Think painted rifle.

You are correct I do, the New Year's Eve shoot rang a bell with me. I know who you are now. But who am I thinking about? Drives a Mini Cooper?
Sorry for the confusion.

If he shot a 40 out of 40 he out shot his old man by one hit and I believe MudCat shot a 39 because he had a malfunction or trouble with a mag change and ran out of time on that stage.  The other rifleman that day was Unbridled Liberty.

Nope.  I waited until Atterbury in June.

As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,

I fumbled a mag change and missed getting a round off, with a bolt action you just don't have much time for miss steps.  :wb: That was my son XDMan, the first Rifleman patch I gave out.

He was at that New Years shoot. He was the one shooting the ar for the midnight volley. Now I'm gonna have to go look up pics from that shoot to figure out who you are. I was there but don't remember anyone taking a hat. **Edit - was you by chance wearing a Michigan zippered hoody? I remember the Garand, mudcat greased it up for you before you shot it, if my memory serves me correctly.

Rayne, I figured the 40 out of 40 would give it away. I was gonna put that he out shot his father, but I kept that back for later.  >:D

I know who it is but won't say. I was there. I really admired how smooth he was at Red Brush in July when he shot the demo AQT.

Yep..I'm always wearing Michigan gear, that was me..Ole Huff gave my hat to me..it was gratifying because Mudcat was SB at my first Appleseed and I was fortunate enough to pound out a 229 and get that patch! TBE had to show me how to work the rifle cause I had never shot before. Good memories...bring your football clothes to Atterbury so we can make some more!

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

I see Bill with his scouted out garand too. That was a pretty slick setup.  I shot a Rifleman score with it and some mixed HXP a blue moon ago.

That was a cold day right there. I don't think she could have gotten much wetter even with the north bridge water.

I remember Bill being at the Nov shoot at Red Brush. I believe he took his OH that same day I did.
