This is so she can catch his gun if he throws it. She was no where near when Ralph missed that high one. As soon as I said "Lost, option high.", his 682 Beretta went sailing past me at eye level. Since Ralph and I go back a long way, he thought I was going to catch it. Wrong. I let it go by and watched it land about thirty some feet beyond where I was standing. In today's world, he would have been ejected from the shoot, but back then, it was just another day.
I was at Arrowhead in Chase City VA one year for the spring shoot . Donnie Parks was there and we were making small bets each gauge between us . He had won two I only one with the 12 coming up . A downpour ensued and he wouldn’t shoot . I went out and broke a 100 straight in the 12 gauge event shooting a 20 . So I rolls in the clubhouse check the score board and think I’m home free for HOA I was at 394 . So I’m sitting there drinking a Bass and talking to Orel Lynheart who at the time was the chief referee in VA . Tom Contrucci walked in with his buddy who had also got the hundred and tied me for HOA . Now Ida been dead in the water out , but thirty years ago Orel told me to set the bottle down and get my damn gun . And by some stroke of luck I beat him at doubles with the 410 . One of my few mediocre claims to fame lols !

Have you ever tallied the money you have tied up in all of your guns? Don't do it!

I’m pretty sure if I sold all I had for 10% more than what I’ve got in them I’d not have enough for the 1/4 mill they want for the set .

Hmmm...I wonder how many would be surprised to find they had enough in their collection to buy such a set?

The plus 10% would be a challenge.

How true, how true. Now if it was less 10% (or more)

I have a friend in INDIANA who will remain nameless , that keeps telling me to buy one 15K gun rather than three 5K guns . I have a hard time wrapping myself around that concept . Heck of a lot easier pulling the trigger for the 5 and under ones rather than the over 10k guns .
