This past weekend's festivities at
Hill Country were terrific. ...Jack and all his team, family, volunteers and
paid professionals did a fantastic job. The transformation of the place was
unreal. Great people, targets, facilities, food trophies competition and
camaraderie. Dave Peckham's targets were definitely challenging and made you
work hard for a good score. Congratulations to all who helped make it a
great time for the largest state shoot in NSCA history.

Jack,
My compliments to your great organization and hard work in making this a
smooth and enjoyable event. I believe everyone enjoyed every event and the
targets... [Leighton Stallones]
Great job, Hill
Country! We had so much fun. The targets set by Mr. Peckham on the main and
Mr. Schultz on the prelim were fabuloso! Best set I've ever seen at a major
event. All the targets were so VISIBLE for these old eyes and very
entertaining. Your terrain is second to none. Reminded me of Polson at
the Open a few years back. Beautiful place...
[LG ]
It was just a
really enjoyable weekend. From all outward appearances, the shoot ran as
smoothly as it possibly could. I realize that luck plays some part in that,
but not nearly as big a part as plain hard work/preparation. Jack, Rose and
all the staff and workers at Hill Country this weekend deserve a great big
"WELL DONE!". The targets were very challenging and fun at the same time...
All did a great job of challenging us with the great terrain they had to
work with. All in all, I'd give it BOTH thumbs up!
