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.

Question for you Southern Gents: Why is it that the real deal "recipe" that comes in Mason Jars is so smooth - despite not having been charcoal filtered, aged in charred oak barrels etc etc?

The good stuff is distilled multiple times.

That's why you often see it represented by a Mason jar with three or more X's
