Well I sure wish I was HWJ! I don't know how many times I actually have been accused of being Bocephus. Any way,it was a very fun time. After getting a 3 on the third target,thought I was out of it! But mother nature believed in an even playing field as others had their not so wonderful targets too. Still when they read my name at the podium,I was fit to be happy to say the least!!! And wifey was breathing down our necks too with my trusty ballard made highwall in 45-90. The new 45 2 7/8 was not quite ready,although just about good enough that I nearly used the paper patcher. The trusty ole 700 grainer in 50-90 Shiloh was the right choice. Call me a '' greaser'' if you will, but racist insults don't bother me one bit!

Randy, I was told you were shooting something other than black, but I told them I was pretty sure you were shooting black, you want to set us straight?

They just don't understand do they? The 50 2 1/2 is a 'mean machine' in the hands of the right Dude!!
