Re: 09 Shooters Bash
I think the quote was pretty close to "I'm gonna kill some mofo's with this on my next deployment" You're right, instant classic!
I almost didn't make the match due to unforeseen circumstances that took place that kept me from making the trainup, and the fact that I hadn't shot a round or done any dry firing to speak of since the Cup.
I sure am glad I decided to shoot the match. It was another outstanding contest. There were a lot of new guys to RO this year and it was good to meet so many new people. Chris and Nick are a couple of great guys and we're fortunate to have men like them on the tippy top of the spear taking it to the dirtbags around the world for what we hold near and dear. It was very cool to see Chris's mom at the match and for her to get a small feeling for the appreciation we all feel for our servicemen and women. The families left at home are totally stressed out the whole time their kids are deployed overseas, I can only imagine how I'd feel if one of mine were deployed. Pete and Patrick are two super guys and a hell of an asset to their departments, both leo, and fire.
As always, I'd like to thank both Lisa's for their hard work behind the scenes. Like jacob said, if it weren't for his Lisa nothing would run at RO. It's a good thing he recognizes that cause Lisa's kicking ass with the P90X program and I don't think Jacob could hang with her if she got mad at him.
My buddy John Lemm drove 1600 miles just to help RO the match, good to see you again sir.
Lindy's like Yoda, nothing rattles him and he's got an answer for everything, you may not like the answer, but you'll get one.
Wynn, and Miles just run their asses off during the whole match doing what needs to be done. You guys rock.!
Like my dad says, Frank's just like a pet Coon, all over everything and he doesn't miss anything. Keep up the good work Frankie.
I don't think I missed anybody...oh yeah, that Jacob guy, he pretty cool too. Relax man, you know I love you like a brother. Thanks for busting your hump to keep all of us humming along oblivious to the stress that it takes to pull something like this off with so many people around who's skills you know nothing about.
This may have been the best prize table I've ever seen at a comp, it was just unreal. A huge thank you to all the sponsors who donated prizes to the comp. Even if you didn't shoot the match it would be nice to drop them a line expressing your appreciation for their donations, it may be you who wins something they donate at the next match you do make it to.
