Congratulations!

Was the match held at the range owned by that "someone we all know", at Princeton? :mrgreen:

Thanks for the kind words folks. Yes, it was at Jerry's place in Princeton. I'd say that it was the most difficult match for a revolver shooter that I've ever shot. SRVA was right there and I know he'll be even tougher to beat at TX state in June. But, I look forward to shooting with him again.

Awesome shooting by both of you guys! That picture immediately became one of my favorites :cool:

For those of you that have never stepped up to a competitive line of fire......please trust that doing it with a wheelgun is a whole different animal. I don't have the guts to do it.

I can't imagine two better folks to compete at the same match! I wish I could have been there.

just curious as to which revolver you used, and did you use a speed loader, or moon-clips?
FWIW, IIRC, AFAIK, FTMP, IANAL. YMMV.

After this photo was taken, the guy on the left in the wrap-around sunglasses stayed behind to give the guy on the right some pointers about wheel-gun shooting. ;-)

Seriously, HV's and SRVA's results are very impressive. Jerry likes all shooters, but to win SSR at the Louisiana State at his own range must have made you a friend for life.

I'm with jbirds: just the thought of trying to compete at all with a revolver is very intimidating to me. So here's an extra special :tiphat:
