Some perspective....
CYA friends:
I've been at this for 30 years, since day one of the development of contemporary RFBR.
I've done and seen it all.
But I've never been as cited as I am today because of the possibility of a MD-PAS pistol for the masses.
BC as a shooter:
CYA friends, I never was a good shooter, still ain't.
I've never experienced shooting an indoor match.
And I haven't competed in eleven years now.
But......
What little success I had as a shooter, came about because I shot pistols.
I probably spent more time shooting at Blue Grass, in Lexington, Kentucky than any other range.
The BR-50/ARA matches at Blue Grass started at noon, after the IR-50 matches.
Shooting at noon at Blue Grass is like shooting at Livonia at noon.
It ain't no picnic........(I believe Wally and Foster will attest to that)
But, I won five club championships at Blue Grass, in six years, and finished 2nd the sixth.
I did not do this because I'm a good shooter, because I'm not......I never could read switching conditions.
I won those championships because I shot a pistol that I could load fast and sling, plus, I was not afraid to catch a condition and run like heck till I got caught.
When I was on a run I'd keep slinging until I had two misses in a row.
When I was on a string of hundreds and then caught a fifty, I kept my same hold for the next shot.
If the next shot was another hundred I kept on slinging....
If that next shot was a second 50 in a row, I stopped and regrouped.

CYA friends, here's where I'm going with this:
Like I said, I was not a good shooter.
And combine not being a good shooter with doing most of my shooting outdoors, in conditions, resulted in me not producing any "big" scores.
I know for sure I shot a couple of 2300's in my career.
And I may have shot a 2350, although I can't swear to it.
But CYA friends, I sat down at the range today with my new Turbo triple pistol, using some of the black Eley that Robert Oates sent me, and kicked out an easy 2300 card.
And if I catch a plug, that card might go 2350.
And it's a "pretty" 2300....
There's "ugly" 2300's and then there's "pretty" 2300's...........and this one is "pretty".
I can't begin to tell you folks here at CYA how cited I am about maybe getting this pistol for the masses.
There's still work to do.....
Your friend, Bill Calfee
