Thanks for the play by play at the SB nationals. Felt like I was there. Looking forward to you article in Shooting Sports.

Thanks from me too! We all enjoyed your post and the pictures!

Glad I could contribute. Looking forward to seeing what Shooting Sports USA will do with the article. Silhouette is one of the few sports that we have that features a truely level playing field, and Ridgeway was a perfect example of that. Going to try to bring out that point in the article. Anytime you can have young, old, male and female compete side by side with no real advantage to bigger, stronger, and faster athletes you have a special event. Shooting is one sport that a young person can begin, share with mom and dad and continue into adulthood and share with their children. Try that with the stick and ball sports sometime.......Ed Jones deserves a big thank you also, for posting the highpower side. I was going to write the highpower article without being there, as I am in New York City, but Ed, who is a writer with considerable experience offered to help out.

Having a great time in NY by the way. Went down to times square and haggled with the street vendors, got a New York City motorcycle cop to take my picture on his bike wearing his helmet, shot lots of photos, got to watch the NYC swat team secure the street in front of the ESPN Zone restuarant to allow a local NYC politician to eat dinner. Rode the subway with folks that re-define the word strange, and picked up gift for the grandkids. One more day of this madness and then home.....Chinatown next on the agenda.

Mamabear and I thank you very much for the updates and pictures.

What is this I read about you getting a buildabear.... hope you get a girlfriend for Waldorf.

Actually built 4 bears.....One for each grandchild.....How does Waldo feel about a cheerleader???

John, THANKS from me as well..... I got your picture when you got your award and sent it to Pete to forward to you.

THANKS and it was great to meet you.

Thanks for the great reports, the great pictures and the great Picante Sauce!!........

Went into several neighborhood "bodegas" (kind of like a convenience store that smells funny) and a few small markets, but no Pace Picante sauce on the shelves. Wandering around Times Square at night was an experience as was Chinatown. Love to haggle with the vendors. Finally home. Only so much of the big apple you can digest in one trip...
