Default I Finally did it.

Yesterday was a great IDPA match for me.

Woke yesterday and felt a little under the weather, Took a good dose of some meds and off I went, By the time I got to the range I felt like a new man.

I knew it was gonna be a good match after stage 1, my times were super fast and was getting good hits, Dropped 15 points in six stages and times were in the top six in all stages. I ended up 5 overall and FINALLY took 1st in my class.

Not bad for a 47 year old out of shape guy showing the younger guys up for a change.

Good job At 62 I would not consider 47 old but you are creeping up on it. Keep those whippersnappers on their toes.
