Today was the pistol caliber half, of the Oregon Territorial Championships.
I shot much better today or everyone else shot a whole lot worse.

Marlin 1894CL 32-20, 80 shot match, 1st match of 40 was for club championship, and the combined aggregate of the 2nd 40 shot match, with the 1st, was for the Oregon Territorial Championship.

I won 2nd, in the club championship, so I got a pound of bacon, a dozen eggs, and a 2 pound brick of cheese.

I was the winner in the AA/AAA group and 2nd overall, so I got a nice gold medal.

I have some trophies,
it feels really good when it was a hard, close, match, against good shooters; when everybody is challenged.
Enjoy the bacon, eggs,& cheese
I miss those days at the Ysletta Gun Club, when that is what we shot for!

I hate to admit this, but I stopped practicing around the start of the year and my scores have improved. My sight settings are all bottom of the belly holds, so it's just a matter of remembering my "breathe and squeeze" pattern.

I have good days and not so good days, but I still have fun.

Congrats! Now that's a fun way to "bring home the bacon"!

As one who's pretty much based his life off of the desire for two things......shooting firearms and eating bacon/bacon derived dishes, good going! You have arrived Sir.

There ya go, the little 32/20 can bring home the bacon!
Actually that match was probably harder than going and getting some critter for breakfast!
Well done.
Nath.

Nate, you appear to have plenty of influence with EMF. Why don't you suggest to them that they start offering 32-20 as part of their M92 line. They used to offer the Hartford revolver in that caliber.
