High Plains Hud SASS#64232 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I have to tell this story the best I can. One month ago I was at Capital City Cowboys monthy match, in Topeka ,Kansas. A big guy in fatigues was shooting at the range next to us.As I was loading up he inquired about what we do. And of course he looked at everything I had. He did not want to shoot anything just checking things out. He told me his story. Rocket propelled gernade hit his vehicle. 6 years 26 surgerys later, and here he is. I incouraged him to come out to the annual match this weekend. He came out today and the cowboy shooters did what they do at every club. I looked over there and there were about 10 shooters around him. He shot every side match. Then next thing you know he had full rigs of leather on and was be coached through a stage or 2 . Wow the look on his face!! I know this happens a lot. But today I was touched and thought what a great bunch of friends I got. High Plains Hud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Smokepole #29248L Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 This is very common and the way that people in this game are friendly and share is the envy of the other shooting disciplines.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
