12 years consecutive "Expert" with the M-16 in the Marines. 200, 300 & 500 yards, iron sights.

12 years as the county SWAT team sniper team leader.

Washington state SWAT sniper instructor for a few years.

NRA "High Master" in long-range rifle competition.

Placed well in a number of competitions, including a few wins, both formal NRA High Power competition as well as less formal "tactical" type competitions.

NRA rifle instructor.

17 years as police firearms instructor including patrol rifle instructor.

Life long hunter, with a pretty good history of first shot kills from short range out to 400+ yards with standard hunting rifles.

Handloading at about 5 years of age, now I'm 62... How did that happen?

Really nice hunting and target rifles with proven accuracy.

Excellent handloads with great attention to detail...

And yet.... I can miss!

Cracks me up sometimes. Just about the time I'm feeling real comfortable with being able to count on making hits, quick hits, good hits... Sigh... A target just stares at me with no new holes in it... Or an antelope bounds away, apparently with a magic ability to deflect bullets!

Gah!

It's all part of the challenge. And humbling.

Hi, I'm Guy, and I can miss.
