It WAS a great match. 'Zona and Barbwire outdid themselves. And Union Jack was lights out!!! Fun being on his posse... Congrats to all the winners. Look forward to a Chronicle article on the match. Cheers, FJT

Drat; I didn't make the cut. I'd have loved to have made it out to Indiana. A LOT of good folks out there... Cheers, FJT

Thank you for asking; Lauren is up and at 'em once again, and even got up on a horse, today. Ah, to be young and strong! Thanks for listening in, FJT

Thanks for the many useful and humorous replies. Armed with your collective information, a deal was struck; both buyer and seller were pleased. Best wishes to all, FJT

I have a fellow is is hot to buy my Marlin 19894; 20 inch octagonal barrel, pre-Remington, regular cut rifling, one piece titanium firing pin. I haven't had it out for several years, and I could use the $$$. Can anyone suggest what a fair market price would be? Thanks, FJT

Good movie, and they got quite a lot about the event correct. Bless the lads. Cheers, FJT

I have broken at least a half dozen Ruger transfer bars. Ruger's service is second to none, but at best, that is shutting the barn door after the horses are out... Cheers, FJT

Merry Christmas, amigo!

A few local clubs have begun allowing .22s to be used at their monthly matches. They do have more ignition volume, and whack the steel harder than some of the loads that a few .38 shooters are using. And they're helping to get some new shooters through the current ammo shortage. Cheers, FJT

My prayers and best wishes to them both. They've gone through more than most could stand, just in the last month. Prayers, FJT

Signs of health also exist. At the last Hole In The Wall match there were six new shooters. Most were under 40. A couple of them were under 14. Any game needs a farm team! Cheers, FJT

Brilliant car. But dated technology consigns it to back roads, and you, to everlasting maintenance. But, some folks enjoy both... Cheers, FJT (Who had a Healey 3000, back in the day...)
