The main thing for me is not having any assra sanctioned matches around me. The magazine is really nice, but I have been able to get all the information I need here from the expertise on the forum

You make some very valid points for sure. Though I personally can't compete I realize all too well that sanctioned shoots are frankly very few and more often require covering lots miles. I'd be interested in just how many miles somebody like Westerner travels a year to score so well all the time. Driving like he does is tough on the body so how does he do it. For me I'm a member because I strongly believe in support especially for a historic sport with so much technical depth and camaraderie. The magazine is a cherry on top that under Joe's control just gets better with every issue. Where else can you find such history and information

I rarely stray more than 30 miles from home.  Most of the old single shot guys I know are dead.  Just compete against my self, on as many Tuesdays as my body and the weather permit.  But I'm still a member.  Just renewed.

I'm pushing 86 and I have 3 Ballards, a Borchardt that was a bad investment, a Farrow that wasn't, a couple of Low Walls, 3 Winders, 3 real High Walls & a Spaghetti, a #5 roller that I need to do something with, a BSA International, 2 Stevens and a few that I'm unsure of.

I enjoy this Forum. Probably why I’m on it before 7:00 a.m. Valuable information and free advice, but FREE is only what someone else is paying for. There is a cost to ASSRA for providing this free service, right?

I was kind of backdoor asking Westerner how he does it. The skill part and accuracy can't be put into words really but I'm interested in his mileage and dedication to the sport cause I think it may be an interesting benchmark. I'm sure there are many others in his league but not many. Care to share Westener ?

Rick I respectfully request you raise this in another thread. I'd like to keep this one on track.
Thank you for your consideration  Smiley
