Crusty Steve Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Folks, I got the privilege of shooting with Daniel on his first match. He is not bragging, so I will brag for him. This was his first match and he shot clean and finished 13th in a field of 23 shooters. Everyone else there was an experienced shooter. I think that's a pretty good first showing for a newbie. If he can stick with it, he will be an up-and-coming contender. Crusty Steve 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, please, PLEASE tell me he's not a Duelist. Welcome Daniel. That sounds suspiciously like a given name and not an alias. Remember the rule about aliases, if you don't pick one in the allotted time we'll pick one for you. And Lord knows you don't want us doing THAT. (No, that's not really a rule and there is no allotted time. But we're an ornery bunch and will pick one for you just out of spite. ) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusty Steve Well I certainly appreciate the kind words from someone with your pedigree. I can only pray to shoot as fast as you one of these days! Sure, I took 13th, anyone care to guess who took 1st...... Ill give you 3 guesses and 2 of them don't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may see what feels best, who knows. So far, that's the way that feels most natural to me. Yes, that's my government name haha. Working on an alias, probably driving my wife and my pards crazy. I am too indecisive. I am over-thinking it, hopefully this name will be around for the next 40+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
