- Tony Phan, Rich Wolfe, John Bagakis, and a few other sponsored shooters at the match.
Another of my enjoyable spin offs from my core job is participating in shooting events like the ICORE (International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiats) www.icore.org match just a few weeks ago at our local Weld County Fish & Wildlife Range www.wcfw.org.
We shot eight stages and a minimum of 230 rounds for the match. I shoot a Smith & Wesson www.smith-wesson.com, model 627, eight shot, common in competitions. There were about 40 men and 4 women signed up to shoot. I ran through the stages and then came back to my post as a Range Officer for one of the stages. I don’t think I impressed anyone with my scores, but had a fantastic time and it was a great group of shooters!
After the dust had settled, and I mean that literally as it was a bit dry and dusty on the plains of Colorado that day, we set up for the awards and prizes. Now usually I sit next to all the people who draw free firearms and other great prizes while I get a key chain. Ahh…..after six plus years at competitions, it was my turn! I won a C-MORE scope www.cmore.com, and a Cobra FS .380 pistol. I mention this not to gloat, but to send out thanks to sponsors of these matches. HIVIZ receives numerous requests throughout the year for sponsorships and, as empassioned as we are about the sport, try to contribute where we can. Remember to send a short note of thanks to sponsors, it goes a long ways.
