    Jim you let us know how you want to play it, and we will make it so.
    Hmm....we don't want to make eligibility TOO restrictive. I'd say, either the top woman shooter, or the top Smith shooter: but I prefer top woman.

    STOP that!

    Excellent idea, and I think it should go to the top woman.

    That is a brilliant idea, we need something to encourage a few more ladies along.
    Although the thought of Paul in chintz and Sol in a frock will give me nightmares for a month (but it would be interesting to see how they get on shooting in stilettos)

    Yes, it's a pretty eerie thought, innit?

    I would have loved to come but you`ve done it again

    I will be in Las Vegas again for two weeks, there`s a Sig 220 down the range with my name on it, along with a few Glocks and Smith & Wessons. I think the M4 will get a look in this time as well

    Will think of you as I`m throwing big lumps of lead down range

    A few people have put there names down via our other thread on the U.B.C. Forum.

    There will be a few lady shooters this time round & Jim has donated a special Jan McArthur Trophy for the Top Lady Shooter of the day.

    Regards
    Paddy.

    Yes, that's a true story, Jim! She did it with an arrow, fired from a longbow. It was at an event sponsored by the SCA - Society for Creative Anachronism, a medieval and Renaissance reenactment group: which is where we met, in March 2000.

    After our for-real wedding in January 2001, we had a 1580's SCA wedding in March of that year. I grew a beard for that occasion - purely as a prop for the wedding - and just never got around to shaving it off.

    Anyway...the rules of the archery event required each archer to shoot one arrow, in turn, at a piece of sausage mounted on a target. Everyone missed, then Jan nailed the sausage, and won the event.
