Kansas State - Day 1

We got to the range this morning and shot categories, which is an age-based competition.

Akarate Zach, our grandson took 2nd place in Men's Traditional, (under age 39), typically a very competitive category.  All the young guns shoot in that category.

Zach, in the American flag shirt, trying to get 1st place.  He finished at 2nd.  Not to shabby.
In the Super Senior category (age 65-69) the competition was stiff.  PawPaw shot steadily and consistently, hitting the target well. Toward the end of the day, I was called to the line, and there were two shooters left.  Diamondback Billy and I.  Billy is a friend from Arkansas, and he had shot the match clean (no loses).  I had one loss, in a 3-loss match.  We battled and he prevailed, and I took 2nd place in Men's Super Senior.  Not too shabby for an old man, shooting against stiff competition.
