One of our largest shooting/firearm retailers have managed to secure a visit from David Tubbs. He will be the guest of honour at one of our Field Target Shooting events. It is a competition where unknown positions and distances are employed. Very difficult, as one cannot practise to make perfect.
 
A long range competition will also be held on the same day, to witness some of his magic. The date is mid Sep.
 
Unfortunately it is at a venue some 1000 miles away, so not sure I will be there.

Tubbs certainly has the top notch creds. Too bad you can't get over there and see him.

If you do manage to make it over, say hi.  I talk to him every once in a while, but only get to see him at SHOT wince we are in different parts of the country.  Aside from being a legend in the shooting world, he is a good guy.  He has been working on a very interesting reticle system that has got my interest peaked.
