Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass,OR) - USARB Report Outdoors October 28, 2015

The turnout was excellent, and our last outdoor match of the season blessed us with very favorable conditions. However, not all our scores were reflective of them. The “Against All Odds” award goes to Mike (Boomer) Aber for showing up just 2 days after a knee replacement. & A special thanks goes to Frank for the pastries. They were most welcome on a damp, chilly day.

Great shooting by all! And it apears the Thomas' have found their way to Grants Pass.

And Mike: Holy Crap! I had both knees replaced (3 months apart) 7 years ago and had to take a month off after each. And we shoot Indoors! You guys are definitely tougher than us Easterners. Although, last spring Chris Sloan showed up just 2 weeks after Hip Replacement and did great. Maybe it's just me being nothing but a big whimp.

Again, great shooting.

Dave seen it go both ways. Some super quick recovery others quite drawn out. Likely has to do with how much/type damage & how long it was present before the replacement.
 
Congrats Ron 250 with LV

Great shooting All!

Mike Good luck with the. Knee recovery!

Another shoot with everyone over 700!

Recovery

Thanks David,

I have had both hips replaced and now both knees replaced, next year I'll have my shoulders replaced. For me the hip replacements were not as painful. Had the left knee done on June 22 and went to our match on June 24th. I guess I'll be the new 6 million dollar man... I have an immune disorder that grows bone spurs in every joint where the ligaments attach to the bone known as DISH. I really don't heal quickly; I simply refuse to let the affliction interfere with my enjoyment of the game. Shooting well in the match just made the effort sweeter.

It's tough shooting against Ron and Dick but someone has to be in the wings nipping at their heels.
