Hi Tim-
Well, I don't consider myself a true gentlemen, just treat people like my mom raised me to is all.
I kinda doubt that guns will be awarded all the way back to 3rd Open. I dont even know what the prizes were, I only had a short amount of time to get through the vendors tent, basically a quick walk through, but knowing i didn't have any money, there was kind of no point. I noticed a big yellow C More box on the Aware Prize table display. But didnt walk in and look under the glass due to having to hurry to the shooters meeting. I drove up Friday morning shot friday afternoon, and drove home. Put 9 1/2 hours on the road that day. Sadly, tried to make the trip home a bit quicker, and ended up penalized, sitting by the side of the road while the good state trooper came back with a ticket for me to add to my ever growing collection.
Tim, third C open you'll never remember, the day you won a gun, now thats something you'll NEVER forget!
Are you going to begin shooting that one all the time now?
What is it you currently shoot?
by the way, thanks for posting about this match in here, i was on the fence about going to this becuase of how far it was, and finances, it was, Aware or Area 7, I'm glad you brought it up.
