I agree, and I'll add some pics and thoughts:
I had a great time at my first precision shooting competition, and wanted to share a few pics, pass on my thanks, and encourage any fence sitters or newbies to get involved, try it out, and enjoy!
I couldn't have met a more welcoming, encouraging bunch of folks. Many of you there were particularly helpful, and my sincere thanks to you.
Especially I wanted to thank Mark Anderson of the Powderkeg, and Paul Reiben of Rangesports Unlimited, as well as the 6 young people who pulled targets for us. And all the others who worked hard to make this a well run event. (and to Don Piper for being so patient with me as I was a total newb to scoring!)
Of particular pleasure was meeting 2 gentlemen who knew and shot with my late Dad: Bob Pitcairn and Don Hall. I was tickled pink to realize that I was shooting with these guys!
For the record, I think I came about dead last in all this, but I knew that going in. I went to try it out, to have fun, and to learn. I succeeded.

I hope this persuades a few new folks to come out and try precision shooting. You'll get a warm welcome and lots of help and encouragement. See you all next year, and thanks again.
