Thanks Arron, I think Mark said in his email he'd take care of the money on his end.
----------

Aaron and I will take care of trophies and the prize money. I already have a check to Mark in the mailbox waiting to be picked up tomorrow.

It'd be great to meet up at west end next month or the next angeles match for the trophies, but if people cant make it, we'll ship them if we have to.

regards,
Julian

Wow... What a match... We had most all types of weather...sun, clouds, rain, snow, fog and worst of all, wind....I had standing water inside the cargo pockets of my pants.... Guess they really are good pants.... Anyway I was just amazed that I didn't drop out... I kept trudging along between points of fire, my fat ass huffing and puffing.. What was bad was that you would get hot from the walk and then freeze waiting for your turn at the next point of fire and then get to do it all over again...

I was squaded with the Marines. It was amazing to watch GnySgt Hughes work the bolt on his rifle so fast and yet hit target after target and clean several stages. This match identified many issues for me that I need to work on... Like walking and stretching.... LOL

In retrospect, I do not understand how I can hit a hostage popper with a howling cross wind from a sitting position but yet I couldn't clean the 100, 200, and 300 yard dot drills? The 100 I kind of understand because I had just arrived from the other point of fire and was out of breath and the heart was pounding so I probably wasnt timing my shot with my breathing/heart rate. But I was rested and warm by the time the 200 and 300 ones were shot.... Before that, I had not zeroed any stage... Oh well, had fun anyway and its good seeing all the old faces and some new ones as well...

Till next year...
