Just got off the phone with Kerby Smith at Para-USA. They want to pay for me to stay the weekend at Blackwater and take a shooting seminar with Todd Jarrett.

I told 'em yes.
:D

You may feel free to hate me now.

I have now won the following in gun-related raffles:

  • A Remington 11-87 when I was about ten years old.
  • A Glock, when I was 22 or so (I ended up having to settle for cash, but I bought my beloved P220 with that.)
  • All expense-paid weekend at Blackwater training with Todd Jarrett.

Buy those raffle tickets, people! Enter those online contests!
 
Wow nothing new for me.......been to blackwater a bunch of times and have shot with Todd a number of times at Black creek.

*sigh* if only every one could be like me...........

ok just kidding. I am sorta Jelous even though I have been to blackwater a few times and shot with Todd twice. He was a bad influance to me. I tried to shoot as fast as he did and I ended up missing .........a lot! Hope you have fun there. If you could PM me after the stay and let me know how the "LODGE" is last time I was there it was still under construction.
 
OK, so where do we line up to kick your shins??? :neener: :evil: :D

Last thing I won in a raffle/drawing/contest, etc was a can of pork-n-beans at a grocey store grand opening.....waahhhhhhh

Me??? Jealous?? No, Sir...Not a bit (he said while turning green and choking with envy)

Hope you enjoy the class and can pick up a few pointers to pass along.

Sung to the tune of "(I've Got A) Golden Ticket" from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
I never thought my aim could be
Anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see
A bit of good luck for me

'Cause I've won the Para raffle
I've got a shiney spar-kle on my guuuun...

I never had a chance to train
Never a tactical song to sing
But suddenly Blackwater's on my wayyyy...

'Cause I've won the Para raffle
I've got a golden spar-kle on my guuuun...

I never thought I'd see the day
When I would face the world and say
Hooray! My training's begun!

I never thought that I would be
Trained at the Blackwater facility
'Cause I'd have said:
It couldn't be done!

But it can be done!

I never dreamed that I would shoot
With Todd Jarrett and the team
But nevertheless, it's there I'm about to beeee...

'Cause I've won the Para raffle
Suddenly Blackwater's on my wayyyy...
I won the Para raffle... it's a Para day!

I never dreamed that I would shoot
With Todd and the Para Team
But nevertheless, it's there I'm about to beeeee..

'Cause I've won the Para raffle
Suddenly Blackwater's on my wayyyyy...

Sorry Don, my hate list is full right now and there is a waiting list to get on it. I will flip you a one finger salute when I go past Virden next time :neener:

Have fun, if you need any gear you don't have, let me know, I'll see what I've got you can use....

Jeff
 
Congrats, Don. Don't wear that ugly beanie while you're there if you want them to let you back in.
