The last two days have been crazy. We received 18 inches of rain! 2 out of 3 interstates were closed in the city. Houses were destroyed, and many lives were forever changed by the flood of 2010. I want to thank you for your support and prayers during these times. Our shop, home and family are all safe, as are any items we have in our possession right now for custom work.

We were standing at 12 yards shooting 8″ plates on a rack. The drill was to draw and fire one shot on a plate as fast as possible. My best time (actually hitting the plate) was 1.39 seconds.
