Vacation Report and Thanks!
« on: July 17, 2009, 10:42:39 AM »
I've been waiting a full month to report this, and everything has finally come together:

First off Thanks to Phil Strader for putting this together, and to his staff for all they did! Thanks to all the sponsers for the all they did and provided to make this happen and memorable!  Thanks to Julie for putting up with me on her squad for a day, to Rob for the pointers more than once, to everyone there for an overall good time, to Rastus for the hospitality, and to Jessie .... for just being Jessie (Glock and all)!


Talking ideas and getting advice from Rob and Julie on Stage 7 (a dry Saturday afternoon):



Stage 4 outline:



Shooting a muddy Stage 4 on Sunday morning after a loooooooooooooooooooooong thunderstorm delay:









And finally, the souvenirs (one purchased and one awarded):



It was a great weekend, and if it doesn't interfere with the wedding next June I will be back again!


This is a late addition in hopes of saving my life!

I also need to thank the Cooksons for putting up with me while M'ette was off somewhere, but more importantly ... I  GOT  AN  OFFICIAL  M"ETTE  HUG!!!




If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Congratulations, Mike!!!

We're all very proud of you!!  And my offer to store that 1911 for you is still open.  ;D
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

COOL report!

Nice 1911!  I like the old school look instead of the big beaver tail.

And I am JEALOUS!

Missing this one might be WORSE than missing his own.  Tends to piss of both mother AND daughter when Daddy's not there to walk his little girl down the aisle.  ;D

He can tell them he's trying to win the money to pay for it.  ;D

That might be worth a shot.....especially since I don't think his wife has a key to the gun room.  ;D

I think the "tactical" knee brace helped.  That one pic literally has you "floating" across the steps,...

Congratulations, you deserve all the accolades, prizes and the M'ette hug...

Beautiful 1911.



Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Two hundred fifty pounds airborne and floating are not two ideas that go together real well  :o
