Regardless of what happened or is happening, I'm happy for Randi. She's good people.

I'm suprised Jesse is shooting for Taurus... Follow the money!!!!!! Wouldn't you rather shoot for the company that will pay you bigger bucks over others that pay much less? If you have already made a name for yourself and have piles of championships under your belt, why not go for the cash? I'm sure there are lots of other little factors as well that combine to help make decisions like that |

I don't think it's surprising for Jesse to shoot for them, what I find surprising is that Taurus is looking to sponser a competitive shooter.
I think Ruger should do the same thing. Get their 1911 out there in the hands of "some GM shooter" whose racked up a number of Single Stack division wins. |

I'll have a chance to check out Travis' Para this weekend. He's on my squad for the Alabama state match! Should be fun to watch him and Blake duke it out.

I doubt it has any direct bearing, but all the legal wrangling and family drama at Glock Inc. over Gaston and his nurse/trophy-wife etc. writing his kids and ex wife out of the company can't have helped either.
Not the sort of thing that would get me to jump ship by itself if I liked my job and my paycheck was steady, OTOH, it's certainly not the sort of thing that helps if I'm getting other offers from companies without the reputation/drama issues going on. |

His reloads are freaky fast..Todd is pretty quick also, I think Todd has the best foot work I have ever seen. I knew there was a few company's chomping at the bit once he left the Army. |

I'm pretty sure all this has to do with Abbott and Tori... and Dave didn't want no part of that mess. I think Randi just follwed Dave out the door, I think Tori is the only one left. |
