Gee whiz, that is a tough piece of humble pie to swallow!
Maybe you and she need to consider changing your SASS nick names...

Congratulations to the missus - those competitions can get very challenging!
My " Cowboy" name is.... Lucky Lou so i dont get confused having too many aliases....
Diane first had a go at the SASS events a couple of years back, i figured my Remmy would be too heavy for her so my friend "Copperhead" loaned her a 7 1/2 barrelled Colt as it is a well balanced gun result, she hit 6 out of 6 no mean feat....she immediately got the nickname "Deadeye" and though she has never been that quick she does always hit what she aimed at.
It seems that she has just "clicked" during this event i thought she had done really well to get to the semi final and as Copperhead and i (owner of the 7 1/2 Colt) watched and i was frankly staggered how quick she was compared to the previous rounds.
It was only the second time she had used the gun which i bought for her last year (you could buy a R65 for less !!) and told me that it was having her own that gave her the confidence,
I suspect she will get a lot of respect from her opponents in future and i may have to clear some space for other trophies.
Lou
