Fallen Brethren 3-Gun
So, not a lot of video, and frankly a pretty poorly shot match again this year. My goal was to improve on my 2015 finish and I did that, but I still finished 180th of 208 shooters, even though I never had an individual stage finish of lower than 145th, and I had a couple of 102nd place finishes. Meaning that I did not have the good stages other people did, I was mid pack or lower 3rd for the bulk of the match. The highlight of the match was that I was meeting Chris Hall, and he was going to come down, take a whack at shooting 3-Gun. Go figure, first ever match is a major match!
Things did not go quite according to plan, since Chris had a little accident a few days before the match and serious hurt his wrist, he managed to shoot one stage, and frankly I'm amazed that he was able to finish it. Being the absolute kick ass guy that he is, he stuck around and reset non-stop for three whole days, more character there than most people have. In fact, there was a certain squad mate who liked to shout to get people to help, he would reset one piece of steel and then he took the rest of the stage off from re-setting....some people....
My highlights are a dinner at Sweetie Pie's Ribeye's, and then two nights at Go Go Gumbo! That should really tell you all you need to know about the match!

For grins, I added in the 2015 version of the same stage, where I went all pistol. I was so convinced I would do better in 2016, but if you look what happened, I was darn near better off in 2015, and someday, I think I should put big boy pants on, and shoot it all shotgun. If I had the reload down, I suspect that would make it legitimately better.
