Hi Ed, "Honorable thing" insofar as how each competitor represents his gun in meeting prescribed qualifications for entry.

The Oscar Gaddy event never entered my mind because it would be plain to see if a competitor's gun had Damascus barrels... or not. Fluid steel barrels would be an automatic disqualifier.... just as gauge mates or tubes are in other classic shooting events.

Carl, as I mentioned earlier, the Challenge, being a heads up competition, is really not a place where too much in the way of restrictions should be considered. I think we are all happy with the way it is now. In fact, I don't see much harm or advantage if a guy shoots a gun tubed to 20 gauge, composite or not. By the way, thanks for your work on the Challenge and we hope you continue.

John Truitt, you asked for opinions and you got mine, no different, by the way, than what others have posted. I'm sorry you are offended just by my posts, but they are not meant to be offensive. My apologies if you saw them as something they are not.

Bill Murphy, thank you. All is well. Enough said.
