Thomas Shooting Area 3 - in Rolla, MO

Thomas has been doing competitive pistol shooting since last year, and is REALLY good at it. This year, he placed first in "B" Class in the Production* division of shooting at the Sectional Match that was at the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club in Louisville, NE in September. Here is a video of the Sectional Match. Note: I am doing the filming, so the filming is not the best!
This video is of stage 1 of the Sectional match. Thomas has all of the stages on the youtube site. Click here for the videos.


We then traveled to Rolla, MO in October for the Area 3 match. Area 3 is 6 states in the surrounding area with shooters who are really quite good at shooting. Again, he planned to shoot production class, but due to a very tiny alteration on his gun, he got bumped to Open** class about half way through the day. His chances of placing high up were gone at that time, but he still shot quite well, and had a great time. Here's the video -- again, I'm filming, so bear with me.




Since he had to pick a hobby that is EXPENSIVE, he got a shooting cart to carry his stuff. It looks a lot like the baby strollers made for runners, but it isn't, is for shooting supplies and gear. This is Thomas early in the morning on Sunday before shooting in Rolla.

* Production Division: the gun is pretty much just out of the box as you would purchase it in the store. No modifications, regular sights, only 10 rounds in the magazine.
** Open Division: pretty much any alteration you can think of, you can do. These are also called "Race Guns".
