As the unofficial comic relief of Flatwater (you've seen me shoot), I thought this would be a good warm up. Not limited to ten, or those who have attended. I'll get it going...
Reason number 10:
You realize the 30 man squad has only 29 'cuz Hincker is still in the head, expounding the types and uses of aircraft wing nut wrenches.

Reason #9: You can watch Tiny try to set another Guiness World Record in "Speed Grilling Steaks." :D :D :D

See you don't need a wrench for a wing nut because of the wings. They are intended to be finger tightened. Thus they don't get used on aircraft.
Reason 8: You get to see Tiny in all his "glory".

Tiny in a Speedo was a bit much.

I wasn't going there. He is an expirience as is, no speedo required.

Reason # 007:
Hear Flatwater's own Bond wannabe regale you (again) with accounts of his intercontinental conquests and ever expanding gun collection.

Reason #4
The rare ability to use vintage SxS's to shoot Sporting Clays with famous gunwriters, esteemed barristers, military heros, aging professors, elderly bankers, and assorted retired buffoons, etc. -- and to possibly inflate your self-esteem by besting them on number of birds broken.

It is on my calendar and I will see how the finances hold out. I am planning on a spring bear hunt/fishing trip to SE Alaska, so need to fund that first. I need some stimulus money. Is Flatwater getting any?

Reason # 3;
To experience and endure the scorn, ridicule, harassment, beratement, and trashing of your shooting "style" and "skills", at a level and intensity unparalleled elsewhere in the free or known world.

M.R., good luck with the SE Alaska bear hunt. I hope you thump a big one. I hope I make it to Flatwater this year. I hope to see all of you there.
