Patagonia Pete Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Here are a few stage photos from Winter Range 2006 (can't post them all) - taken about 3pm on Tuesday 3/7/2006. Right after I finished taking photos of all the stages (all ready for the match the next day) the wind started up ... knocked a bunch of stuff down and broke a wooden cactus silhouette in half ... Some things change and some things are always the same!! (this was even before the big canoe w/ the paddle wheel!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have gotten slower because his costume standards have fallen, not his old age ! (sarcasm added by the Author for humor.

Three Foot Johnson Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 What a difference 40 years makes. The switchboard at Fort Casey, Whidbey Island, WA - 2015 vs 1975. Retired vs a 19 year old USN sailor. Probably around 340 in the first pic vs maybe 170... twice the man I used to be! Good Lor'a'mighty, I was getting big - dropped 80 pounds since that first pic.

Grizzly Dave Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 2009, maybe my third match as I was still getting the lay of the land. Yes, totally not conforming to costume requirements. Local monthly match gave me some leeway but gently let me know that for the annual I would need to 'cowboy up.' Fast forward to a year or two ago....

He was pleased with the results: Before: After: I scrolled back and forth between the first 2 pics a number of times trying to see a difference. Finally decided you must have cleaned up the inside and scrolled down. So was that a restock job, or was that beautiful wood stock painted green?

J-BAR #18287 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 That is the original stock with the green paint removed. I refinished the wood with tung oil. The aluminum receiver was polished down to remove the scratches in the original black finish. Internals were degreased and relubed. Even with the crappy scope it shot reliably tight groups.
