Al, wait a few hours and then check the http://www.ridgwayrecord.com/ tonight for results.

Thanks Tony, I'll check the paper later. Wish I was there. I am still recouping from my knee surgery, and I am about ready to go nuts being stuck in the house. My grand daughter is coming to stay next week, and I might designate her a gun bearer so I can go out and shoot in the back yard.

Quick results Standard was won by Angelica Kuess Davila (and Enrique told me she didnt shoot HP very much ) and Hunter was Mark Pharr.

Hello Bob.
Well I finally seen your name listed as one of the 10 top shooters in your class, CONGRATULATIONS I sure wished I been there, but my scores as of the last two years, did not encourage me for the long drive, maybe I will attend the next one, as a coach, if anybody will put up with me.
I see that my friends from Mexico ( Kuess family and also the Morenos ) have done excellent, they will stop by my house on the way home to say hello, and have a couple of Tequilas to celebrate.
Take care my friend.
Evelio.

Here is an early report on the National Champions. Angelica Kuess Davila won the STD rifle, and Mark Pharr won hunter.

Al Foust

Angelica is the 24 year old daughter of my good friend Enrique Kuess from Saltillo, Mexico and this is the first HP match she has participated on.
She started shooting SB silhouette in 2009 and doing pretty darn good but this year was definitely the best she has ever had.
Congratulations to Angie and the whole Kuess-Davila family.

Thanks Evelio... I did not do the rifle proud and it posted a sign new shooter wanted, as in smallbore I only shot one 40 round match since last year so it's my own fault as a result of lack of practie. 3 ov us fired for a HP Humter rifle team and took First place A, wiht a new B shooter on the tam and his first HP match.

Hope to see you as well.... How are you at spotting along with that coaching

Tony, Both Angelica and her brother Enrique Jr are great shooters. Enrique Sr told me Angelica had only shot less then 100 rounds of HP till the Nationals. Quite a feat. It should make their 36 hour ride home enjoyable, great family and friend also.

Good job, Bob. Here's Enrique jr, Angelica and Chango. Great folks, plus they think my spanish is good...
