I tried all year of 07 to move up to Marksman from Novice;and I finally did it this past January. I had never competed before nor had I handled a handgun before the summer of '06 when my home was burglarized; which was when my journey began to get a CCW. I was 11th out of 16 competitors in CDP Marksman; within 77.13% of the top shooter in class. My squad members kept telling me to sit down and not do any taping but I said I had to keep moving or my knee would stiffen up. They felt sorry for me as I hobbled in the stages;except for the 'elevator'[3.95 seconds] and a few others where I could just stand and shoot. I was invited to join "Splinter Cell" for the Postal Shoot and that was fun!!!But what was the greatest surprise was when I won the Custom SA Mil-Spec estimated at $3,000 at the drawing on Sunday afternoon. Made a lot of new friends too; BEFORE I WON;;;thank you Brett Nelson for the Bible Study Sunday morning and to my new bros in Christ; Peace be with you, and may we all have the strength and fortitude to be Peacemakers, not peacekeepers. Funny how God moves; I wasn't gonna show up because my chances of doing well went down the tubes when I busted out my knee; but I went there in faith, wanting to hear the Word.
my score=278.24[75] 11th of 16 in class and 104th of 123 overall.
