I miss “Imus Offen” often.
A few years ago, in Salt Lake City the top shooter shoot-off was Imus Offen versus The Grim Reaper. The 10 11 4+ shoot off came down to the last faller plate. Imus Offen did not miss he nailed it, and The Grim Reaper with a stern look walked away defeated! Imus, with his typical spirit continued to enjoy his friends and the spirit of our game for several years. In mid-October 2025 once again, Imus was matched against the Reaper in Reno in the top gun shoot-off. Imus had unbelievable support as he approached the stage. Again 10 11 4+ was the stage. They were even after the pistol; Imus got his last of 10 rifles before Reaper so far no misses. Imus missed a shotgun and needed to engage again. The door was open for Reaper. Reaper did not lose this time. Imus was not able to get off the last rifle shot, his equipment failed.
Tim was a happy person, often. He was polite, kind and shared joy with all. He was the poster boy of Cowboy Action Shooting. The next time you feel like being negative, please STOP, think of Imus he would thank you for that. May the FORCE be with Patience Myazz and family.
