Distant Thunder/James M Kluskens

[craneman]

I must say I'm still in shock. Shooting at Lodi is my favorite match by far. Jim has been a major factor in my enjoyment and I'm sure wasn't aware of it. The opportunity to discuss true rifle crank topics is rare in person and he was a crank to be sure! I also have to say listening to Jim and Brent on the line was like listening to dialog from the movie Grumpy Old Men! Entertaining but at the same time very instructive on reading conditions. Thanks to them I think I have been able to teach my kids a bit about the topic and we are better riflemen for it. It is often stated we are diminished by someone's passing, and in Jim's case it is a truism. His philosophical questions provoked discussions that were insightful. I will miss his insightful queries.
