Danie, how did this match go?

[hagar in SC]

Not too well for me.. Shot a nice slow prone score, but was high for rapid prone. Then in rapid sitting I jammed the second clip so tight, it took a couple of us with plyers to get it out, and no alibis. Not sure if I got struck by the Greek clip disease or what, never seen anything like it, it would not go in, and it would not come out!

My buddy Mark who you met would have won it if he did not cross fire one of his offhand shots. As it is, he came third with a 453 or such, don't remember his exact score.
