Had a blast today shooting the course with Mr. Wayne from Buck Hollow, talking with the supreme leader of F.R.O.G. and shooting the breeze with Bear and Big Jim. Shot like crap, but that was no one’s fault but my own.

Looking forward to tomorrow!

James,

It was good to meet you and members of your group, and I watched you’re shooting skill and see potentially a internship with F. R. O. G in the future. But I must address how you address me in your post above. Please in the future when addressing the Supreme Leader and Captain of F. R. O. G it must be in sentence case (as in my example).

But don’t get discouraged in my gentle rebuke, as Scout and Sniper still slip up to this day and use such unprofessional discourse as saying “Hey Cap” :banghead:
Everything I have and have become is due to the Lord and his great mercy.

Hate I couldn’t stick around and shoot with you Ron. I had to leave shortly after noon yesterday.

I can only say that Scout and Sniper are fortunate to have such a patient, long-suffering Supreme Leader and Captain. Thank you for the compliments on my shooting…I will keep an eye out for amphibian targets to further hone my skills.

James, let me warn you, Captain often uses subtle tactics such as the compliment concerning your shooting skills to lure recruits into the regime. Once in, it’s hard to escape as your torn between the thrill of the missions and the endless lambasting from leadership. Your earlier comments concerning his patience was nothing short of laughable. If you join our ranks there’s a good chance you’ll be asked to take my position as scout. And while it’s a sure bet you’ll do a better job let me warn it’s a thankless position full of cutting remarks from leadership. Be certain that if you aren’t proficient with a GPS and can lead Captain from the war zone back to camp through a maze of briars and sloughs then the job would best be declined.

Thanks Terry and team for another great shoot. Fine targets and setup and though I had to cut out early it ranks as one of my favorite Classics!  :clapper:

It was a lot of fun but terribly exhausting. I have had some health issues and am just not in great shape. But it sure was good to get out and see people again. I didn't shoot very well, but I really enjoyed the course. Attendance seemed to be down a bit, though. This is one shoot I really recommend to any trad person, no matter what your experience level. Terry does a good job.

I'm glad you had a good time Sam, but there was more here than the last four years, not as much as several years ago, but way more than last year and the year before.

Thanks buddy. Sherry , Gil and I really like what you Rhonda and your boys do to make it all work. Thanks to Tannehill for hosting the Howard Hill.

Enjoyed helping run the mens and womens recurve shootdowns. Good times.

Just finished moving. Can’t this year but you can bet I’ll be there next year with a kid or two.

As Supreme Leader and Captain of F. R. O. G let me me address some issues and admonishments, but first

Terry and Rhonda,

I want to first let you know that I and Sniper or “Longball” (LB) have arrived safely back to the base and you can sleep easily knowing this. Although it was a chore to have to listen to Sniper or LB go on and on of his superior skills and talents. He comes off as self depreciating, but don’t fall for it he’s baiting you the unsuspecting to lather him with compliments. He a sly one!

But we are home nonetheless and your worried mind can be at ease :biglaugh:

Also please accept my compliments on the well run machine as usual, you (really Rhonda) kept it well organized and running without much ado. Please inform the crew I observed great chain of command organization and it resulted in mission success, job well done :clapper:

Now, as to the act of insurrection by Scout in his muntiness words above, he will be dealt with sternly but fairly.

I cannot allow breaking of rank and discouragement of future recruits!

James (Slowbowking), please let Scouts dribble fall to the wayside and realize these are the words of a desperate man attempting to save his job :goldtooth:

Everything I have and have become is due to the Lord and his great mercy.

Got a lot of goings on over here from the HH Classic, WAY too much fun, LOL

I've started a thread thanking everyone who attended.
