One of the many great things this weekend was Mills, Julia, Mills, and Harry all together having a great time.

They all know how to have a good time and enjoy themselves.

Great family!!!

Yes Frank - Get Well!
Okay, what's the story about the Mason jar in front of Dave Fjelline with the HOA Non-Original Parker written on it... is that some kind of trophy? BTW, Dave's eye doesn't look good (no pun intended) does he shoot "lefty"?
Who is the lady in the straw hat across from Mike Koneski?

OK, easy answers first:that is mike's wife. The jar is a ?joke to point out that several of the guns used are questionable Dr T won HOA and most of the other events he competed in. I had the privilege to shoot with him every day and he is amazing! We had fun every day.
Come on down next year and join us.

I'm sure I would have known her if I could see her face. We shot at Mike's place last June and visited with her in the clubhouse.

Congratulations John - your shooting abilities certainly amaze me!

Next year?..... we'll see...

Not just any trophy Dean. As you can see from the previous picture, John took home quite the collection of glassware, but he confided in me before he left that this one meant the most.

In all seriousness though, this was a fantastic event as usual. I for one was happy to hear that Rick is going to put this shoot on again next year. I shot 13 events and burned through around 800 rounds this weekend.

Mike Koneski (who took home the other half of the weekends awards) and I spent so much time on the course that I hardly had time to take any pictures. I did manage to snap a few prior to the LC Smith vs Parker Challenge. Many congrats to the Parker team who won 247 to 220. I love the format that was used this time, allowing the high Jr, Sr, Lady and even some wildcard entries to join in the fun. I think our concurrent squad outshot the main LC Smith squad, and four out of the five Parker shooters in the main squad shot 28 out of 30!

Many thanks to Rick, the trappers who did such a great job all weekend, Bill Kempfer and the Vendors who participated. The only downside was missing out on a cherry underlifter that I had my eye on, but it didn't last long.

As you look at these last two, imagine Mills Morrison standing next to John Truitt raising his trophy.
