Montana 1000

[Shadow 4]

Lot's of blank stares, the lights are on, is there anybdy in there?, "You've got to be kidding me", "ARE YOU SURE'S ", "WHAT THE @@@@", "REALLY?"

One time Harlen Sage put in 12min of wind & shot it into the same hole!
After the shoot walked by & muttered something about a bass boat & fishing,

Jimbo Terry just shook his head & smiled when he said "When I was going for my zero on target #2,

Harlan still can't believe he got a zero on #3

Gene Gamble got a zero on #3, just went over & sat in my lawn chair & drank his bottle of water

Linda Clendenen just shrugged her shoulders, Butch said "That's just the way it is Frank",

Buz wouldn't tell me his score, only that it was enougn to beat me, he said he wasn't giving Nicole any guff cause she out shot him, Nicole just giggled.

After his last shot for his THIRD hit on #3, Dave Gamble just sat there with that 1000 yard stare, (did you git it, did ya, did ya) when I asked him what's wrong he grit his teeth & started cranking his windage knobs, the smoke is still boiling off them.

In our group (what I can remember)

Dave "hipshot" Gamble shot 24
2nd & 3rd place 21's
Randy Ellingrod also 21, ended up fourth I think
Past champion & two time runner up Mark Scott shot a 19
Jimbo Terry shot a 13
I shot a 12
Harlan shot an 11, I think tiffany did too
Loyce Ellingrod shot an 11

And then afterwards Randy Stenerson asked ME if I was going to turn the wind off at Big Hill for the August shoot. Evidently he'd not been paying attention to what had just transpired for the last 4 hours.

I've never had so many near misses in my life, cranked in windage & ended up holding off to boot, & still wasn't enough to get it over to the target a couple of times & I wasn't the only one!

Oh, what I also learned today, is that Swiss 1 1/2 (when it's 90+ degrees out turn's into concret), Old E 2F does not. Was wiping, two wet, one dry.
What was the dry one for you ask? I've not a clue, the f'n barrel was so hot you couldn't touch it, the dry one just ended up being extra work in my humble opinion.

Should've went haying!
