Years ago, when I was still shooting, our team competed at the
Massachusetts State Pistol Matches. A team from the Army Academe  also
attended and their coach was a guy named "Joe Benner"one of the really
great pistol shooters of the times -- six national championships
between 1947 and 1959,  The International Shooting Sports Federation,
ISSF), including Free Pistol (World Champion, 1954 and Olympic
Champion, 1952), Rapid-Fire Pistol (World Champion 1949 and 1952) and
Center-Fire Pistol (World Champion, 1949 and so on.
 
As military groups tend to associate with other military groups,  we
all talk the same language :-) and our "Chief" was the same rank as
Benner they chatted during the matches. (As I was a lower rank I just
got to listen :-)
 
So for about 4 days I sat and listened to one of the greatest pistol
shooters of his times talk, and never once did I hear him say, "I
did", I said, I was called" and all the other glamorous terms I read
here.
 
I can only assume that a real "master of his trade", as it were,
doesn't need to brag.

Says the guy who just bragged about competing in the Massachusetts State
Pistol Matches. How ironic!   :-)

Goodness Frank but you do flaunt your stupidity don't you. To
participate in the Mass Pistol Match or even the Nationals held at
Camp Perry all  you have to do is fill out the entry form and pay the
entry fee.
