Made the 500 club
« on: February 08, 2021, 09:48:44 AM »
I know that to some of our master and GM shooters this is low hanging fruit, but it was a personal milestone to me.

Made the GSSF  500 Club this weekend.  500-37x.   It's been a long road and I was almost there 10 years ago but cataracts starting setting in.  Got that fixed and then basically started over with grip and trigger control. 

In practice a year ago I did 50 rounds in five 10 round strings, 15 seconds each.  But doing it in practice and in competition are different things.
Finally made it. 

Just so I didn't get too big a head, an officer from Ft Benning came up (2 hour drive) just to shoot in this indoor league.  He's not in AMU, but spends a lot of time on the range (free ammo).  He shot 500-46x.   His two targets were each one big gapping hole.

So that item checked off.  Now to see if I can win a GSSF outdoor match.   RiverBend is next month, but I'm thinking my best chance will be in the smaller matches not in ATL area.

Is that for the 2025 season as well ?   ;D

Razzing Alf for an FB post   ;D

2021 - 1967  doesn't come out to 55.  (Super bowls)
Alf posted a , supposedly, Wiki link that listed them.
Problem was the "list" was complete to 2025.   ;D

You can't subtract the two years because 1967 wasn't year "zero" but year "1".  You'll always end up one short.    Unlike figuring someone's age, which starts with the "zero" birthday, this starts with #1.

The reason Wiki lists the next 4 Super Bowls is to show which league is the home team and where the game will be played (though 2024 hasn't be finalized). 

I know you're upset the Pat's didn't win, but if you'll just count them on your fingers you'll find there have actually been 55.

BTB.  The flyover which was a big deal and CBS only gave perfunctory coverage, had a B1, a B2 and a B52 flying together.  Add up the numbers and it equals......?

A friend of mine only saw 2 planes.  I told him it was okay, the third one was a stealth bomber which is why he missed it.
