Re: 2012 "GAP GRIND" 10/26-10/28 @ K&M
Clean up is about done so I wanted to make a feeble attempt to thank everyone who made the GAP Grind possible.
George you are good friend and trusted us to host this event bearing your companies name. I hope it lived up your expectations. Let’s never do it again!
Greg, Don, and Mike, again you guys came through to support K&M as always. You guys are a big part of the K&M team here and we can’t do what we do without you. Thanks for the time, energy, and hard work! Greg – I forgot to recognize you in front of the shooters to thank you for the welding and fabrication you have done for us. Sorry, we will forever be in debt to you. Thanks man!
Big Joe – thanks for the flight all the way across the country to help us out. We couldn’t have pulled it off without you and I would be a lot sorer too. Thanks Brother!
To all the first time ROs, you were all in trenches making things happen and we needed your help! Thanks you so very much! However, now that you have K&M experience you have committed yourself to many future RO duties!
Josh from Copper Creek – came all the way down to help and sponsor the match as well. Josh thanks for the time, support and friendship! Plan on ROing in May.
Ward from Lewis Arms Co spent the entire weekend taking the photos in the next post(s) – send him a thank you note guys! Thanks Ward and it is good to have you on the K&M team.
To all the sponsors, your support is sincerely appreciated and noticed by the community. We can’t thank you enough for the prize table donations and effort you all put into this match. I will be sending a small note to each of you this week.
Trace and Tom, I finally got to meet you two in person and it was pleasure to be sure. Everything George said was true, you guys are incredible people. Thanks for the support and help this weekend. Please thank your crews/shops for shutting down and taking the time to be with us. The shooters loved it, but I guarantee not as much as Bryan and myself.
To the military guys – you will always have a home at K&M and we were glad to host you. Come down anytime on Uncle Sam’s dollar or ours!
Congrats to the top guys – very impressive shooting. We are looking forward to being on the firing line with you during the Finale.
Shooters, thank you for supporting K&M and our matches. As long as you keep coming we will keep putting on the best matches out there.
I probably forgot someone and reserve the right to fix it before getting yelled at!
Some stats from the match -
The winner shot 75% of the points possible. About half of the shooters scored 50% of the possible points, both of which we were aiming for. Please be frank and send us any AAR notes that you think will make us better!
And lastly to my partner - I'm tired and our wives are going to kill us!
