Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It was great to get there to visit with my cowboy and cowgirl friends, even if health reasons keep me from shooting. I DID have dinner Saturday at the shoot with Allie Mo, as I have for the last 4 or 5 years there, I have a pic but can't seem to get it to load here. Anyway...I missed the awards so I need to ask...who won? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 MDJ....Glad to hear you made it out there. I was there for a while Saturday and looked for both you and Allie Mo, but missed you both. Best wishes, Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Great seeing you Jack. By the time I got back to the motel and took a shower and a pain pill, I lay down and fell asleep and missed the dinner. Oh well, next year.

Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 While there on Friday afternoon I was watching a friend's posse and noticed they were a bit undermanned so I worked the unloading table. Matt Black was on that posse, I really like watching him shoot. I first saw him at the Bayou Blast a few years ago and while it can be difficult to judge speed from one match to another I am sure he is faster now. Truly amazing to watch. Still can't get the picture thing to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy This was a challenging match too. The targets were not big and close. The scenarios were good yet not simple either. We did have a good time. He shot an outstanding match. His shooting style has evolved over the years and he is better and stronger than ever these days. He shoots with precision and control and there is no wasted effort or movement. There are lots of other great shooters these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The first time I met y'all was many years ago at the US Open and he was impressive then as a young kid. Now he has matured, improved and is truly amazing. As you said there are several Top Shooters that are amazing. I can't even count as fast as Matt and some others shoot.

Anyway...I missed the awards so I need to ask...who won? Hi MD Jack! It is always a pleasure to see and have dinner with you! Sherry is a great gal and the wine was yummy! Please, just forget about the picture, if I'm in it. IMO, the est part of the match was the shootoff. At the top 16 shoot off, they have the top man shoot against the top woman. Usually, the top man will give the woman an advantage (like he will run from the LT to the stage instead of starting at the closer, normal position). Last year, Bonnie MacFarlane refused to have an advantage and she barely lost. This year Molly Magoo refused the advantage and she won “fair and square” against Saw-yer Wood. I hope these ladies set a precedent for future shoot offs. I always enjoy watching the shootoffs. The strangest things can happen. This time, in one of the intermediate rounds, one shooter dropped a loaded pistol. The competitor, stopped at the SG targets instead of going on to the pistol. He just tossed the four shells he'd grabbed. Then, when he came back he didn't have enough SG shells to make up his misses. Not fun for them; but, interesting for the spectators. Bonnie was top overall woman and Matt Black was top overall man. It was a fun match. Kudos to the organizers! Regards, Allie Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
