Congrats!  A good friend won Carry Optics high overall.

Thanks AJ but it wasn’t quite THAT simple.
 

Back Up Gun is one of the more difficult guns to run at speed especially when there are a lot of tight shots on moving targets and on targets surrounded by non threats. plus that whole 6 round capacity adds an extra reload on just about every stage. That short sight radius also magnifies every tiny little mistake and a small misalignment of the sights equals a big misalignment on the target past 10 yards. 

I am really fortunate to do as well as I did in the first major match I have shot since 2019.I have to think Mike Fielden and Ronnie Dodd are looking down and smiling.

And upon further review it looks like I’m the ONLY division winner from the TN State IDPA Match that is actually from Tennessee.

So does that mean I am THE Tennessee IDPA champion?

That math works for me.

Well some USPSA matches do actually recognize a state champion within a division that is separate from high overall, 2nd, etc.  I was a little confused about this at first after hearing Billy X is the Arkansas state champion in Limited division when I knew Billy got clobbered, but then realized that Billy was the highest scoring Arkansas resident.  He may have finished 12th in the division, but he is the state champion.
