The World Police and Fire Games

[bochunk2000]

Well I did the shoot on Tuesday. Man it was a bit intimidating on an international stage. Its an odd feeling at the shooter's meeting looking accross at team Spain, team France, and team Germany. Let alone the many sponsered Pro shooters from the USA. I was very happy with my score. % wise I did my best ever with a 489/560. That's even with them making me cover over my level. I was even happier when this put me 6th out of the 23 in my class. Then I found out that the guys that got third who only beat me by 21 points with a 510 was a pro shooter that is in the US nationals and apparently places in the top 5. The people over at the Semiahmoo F&G put on a really good show. It was a fantastic shoot, with some really tough shots. No one Shot perfect. Any way I had a great time.

Hey, I shot at the games too. It was very challenging and my first time shooting the target and field rounds. I finished 4th in the target, 5th in the 3d and 8th in the field. I missed a bronze metal in the target by 5 points and a bronze in the 3d by 5 points also. I guess it would have helped if I didn't forget to use the right pins a couple of times!!!! SOOOOO close! It was a great time, my hat goes off to Chuck and Ron. Cheers, Derrick Bunz.
