Just thought I'd offer some appreciation to SSShooter for some help rendered.

Shot my first BPCR Silhouette this past weekend.   In other conversations SSShooter learned we'd be at the same event and offered to shoot with me and a friend, who had not been this route before either.  It was a great help to have someone in our relay who had knew the ropes and could provide some guidance and tips along the way.

Sure appreciated the help Glenn.   Hope to apply some of the lessons learned in the future.  It was a real pleasure having you with us in our relay.

This is what the ASSRA and Single Shot shooting in general is all about. Experienced shooters helping new shooters and both finding new friends.

Hi Glenn,  (or anybody else)

Trying to prioritize some things I should add for smooth operation on the line.   Gonna take a while to get it all but far my list includes:
1.  Range Box   
2.  Shooting Box   
3.  Magnetic or cork spotting boards
4.  Wiping rod with brush:
5.  Nylon Jags:   
6.  Wiping patches   
7.  Timer
8.  Better scope stand

I'll probably try and get spotting boards and timer first.   Do you recommend the magnetic or cork.  And do you know a good source for the timer.   Hadn't seen one like the one you had.  Didn't know if it was specific to our sport or not.

I made note of your box from Woody and I'll hopefully make headway on building a range box over the next couple months but those cork boards seemed essential so thought I'd start there.   

Anything I missed?

Thanks,  John
oh and btw... I know I need a Soule and Globe for that 40-63.  I'll be working on that; probably go with MVA since I have a base for that and maybe distant Thunder or Steve Baldwin for the globe - hopefully have it remedied by the next shoot, though I'll have to get all new sight settings.

Glen my Hat goes off to you! 
Helping new shooters is also my passion.
When Rick MacHale came up to see his first Schuetzen match I asked him to hang around until it was over. I then set him up on my bench and posted some new targets and told him shoot it all you want or until your trigger finger falls. He became a close friend, he bought a 32-40 Ballard shortly there after and ended up being one of the top shooters in the nation. He lived three hours away so he would come up the day before right after work and spend the night with me and the wife. We would spend the evenings sharing everything I had learned to date and he would soak it all in and put it to use. He made it into the top three at our club in very short order. Had he just looked around and left I am not so sure he would have gotten into the sport. Once he sat down and shot my CPA 52 32-40 after the match to his hearts content he was hooked big time.

If I'da shot Glenn's Hepburn I'da probably followed him home!
