Marco! Polo!

Thank heavens my cell phone still held a charge after this long weekend. I had to call it three times before I found it had slid down under the driver's seat of the Stang.

Howdy!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I jaunted up to PHX to feast with my adopted extended family and worked on mountains of homework in my spare time. Even passed up the annual Black Friday shooting day at Table Mesa with the Kids in favor of a nap and yet more homework. Good thing I caught my second wind for all the beer and Midnight Croquet in Jon's backyard!

Good times.

Like I Need Another Hole in My Head

...I needed another video camera. The Flip UltraHD fits in my pocket better than the Canon PowerShot and shoots in 16:9 High Def (720p) so I can shoot B Roll with it, in conjunction with my High Def SONY. I'm considering taking it to matches and placing it to get the wide "master shot" while I cover the closer shots with the Canon... but then there's the black side bars that'll show up when mix 16:9 and 4:3 formats.

Y'all don't care about that, do you?




Here's a screenshot of Jon enjoying a frosty adult beverage while launching a Thai Civil War.

Cactus League Multi-Gun

I was so wrapped up in the movie making that it slipped my mind that the Cactus League Fun Gun Match was scheduled for a week earlier than usual. So I didn't get any stages sent in. Thankfully, League Poobah Terry Allison whipped up four Turkey Day stages, plus a stage that actually awarded a turkey to the stage winner! Jon was so fast I couldn't even capture his whole draw on my new Flip Video Cam!

Jon was top shotgunner (with me in 2nd), but I squeaked ahead of him (and everybody else) in the carbine match! Okay, so I only beat half a dozen riflemen.... Whoohoo, anyway!

I was pretty sloppy on the four pistol stages... even got beat by 3 of the 4 D-Limited shooters. I was shooting a GLOCK 19 like the one pictured at right.

Right behind Jon and I was young Patrick sporting a pretty accurate AK. I'll have to give him crap next match about flipping off his safety before the clock started! :)
