Jim, Thanks for letting us know and so sad to hear. This must be a very difficult time for you and your family. I remember many of his stories about the old days of benchrest. May God comfort you and your family in the days ahead. John

I am planning on going there if all goes well. Hope to see you there Sbindy!

Congratulations Jeff!! It was cold and windy for sure, seemed like whenever one flag stepped out it was a whole bullet hole out for sure.

Who won?

I also hope to be at all 3 matches this year!

Congratulations Ron, you won with the lowest x count of everybody!

Thanks Lori, Brandon and Elmer and now the temp cook and bottle washer.

Great job Eric M. You had a pretty good shoot !

Wilbur has done a great service in starting this site, and I always read his posts for his knowledge and straight forward approach. Never got to meet him personally but he is missed. John
