Events Thanks for another great EBR!

All,

Just wanted to drop a note and say thank you to everyone that made EBR possible this year, this was my first EBR and what a blast! While I didn’t shoot great on the bench (203/203), I met a ton of people and learned a lot!

AOA… you guys rock! Your crew was always busting their ass to ensure people got what they needed. I also have to say thanks to Mike (@centercut), Bill (@crusher), James (@masterho), Carl (@oregun) and Monte and the FX Crew. You guys shared a ton of knowledge and helped make this a great experience for me. So much to work on before next year! Yep, I said it… next year!!! J

Mike, congrats on the wins this year! You killed it brother. 

So now for the confession…

For those that were at the banquet and the others that will see it on the video, there was a really cool bottle of bourbon being given away for the Pellet Challenge. They said someone would have won it had they not put “2” pellets in the box. That idiot was me! I was shooting sighters on a target to the right of the box and the wind got me. At 75 yards I couldn’t tell if the pellet broke the line or not but decided to shoot at the pellet anyways (nothing to lose at that point). A closer look at the target and it’s pretty obvious… no bourbon for me! -Dave

I echo Dave's thoughts above. We met so many great people, learned a ton, and established true friendships at EBR!

Now, the Pellet Challenge... During Saturday's dinner, we were allowed to view our qualifying cards, I took pictures of both Dave and I's cards. It wasn't till later that night, I looked over the pictures and noticed that Dave hit the pellet dead on.... but one of his sighter shots nicked the box. I knew immediately it was an "oh chit moment"

This was Dave's reaction after I showed him the picture.

Can't wait for next year's EBR. We're already in the planning stage. I'll post some pictures and commentary of this year's event in the next day or two.

It was a pleasure to meet you both. Enjoyed the company and the fun chatting about a common interest. I'm glad you guys joined our motley crew and had dinner with us. EBR was a blast. And a big thanks to MasterHo who helped me move all my stuff around and get to the line on time. I truly appreciated the help.



Tough luck on that pellet shot Dave. Next year bud.

I had a great time with all of you, @crusher, @masterho, @oregun, and @dwilson050. Great group to hang out with and talk shop plus much more. Dinner at Outback was great. I expect to see you guys on the podium next year! 

I couldn't hit that damn pellet to save my life this year, and last year I hit it on two days and missed by a millimeter on the third day. But of course my scores were better this year! ;) Looks like a bigger AirBnB house is in order for next year!
