Great job Al ! I always knew you could do it! No one works harder to do what you have done!! You have been SO close so many times I knew it was just a matter of time before you did it!! Congratulations!! J.L.
I talked to Al last night. What a humble gentleman. He won't beat his drum so I will beat it for him. He introduced me to a whole new level of possibilities of shooting with a springer. That led my wife to getting interested, now we shoot together. What a knowledgeable shooter Al is. He dosent give you word by word instructions but gets you pointed in the right direction to do well. I love whrn Al comes to out matches in Altoona, makes my day.
Well earned and deserved by a great guy and great shooter. Al convinced me to shoot my Diana 75 benchrest and we have since traded some equipment and he included some of his secrets. The Diana 75 is a great gun for this competition as it has no recoil and easy to cock, besides being extremely accurate. OBTW Al is in his 80s. Sherwood (near Steubenville, OH) is a great club and their winter indoor benchrest series is great. So are their field target matches.
