Can I just brag a minute...or two...or six???

[Lisa]

This weekend was the Manitoba Provincial Air Rifle Championships. I am very proud to announce that my 15 year old daughter is the new Provincial Champion beating out two National Team members to take the title. Connor is the youngest Manitoban to ever win the title. She won, first place sub-junior, first place junior, first place lady, first place expert and Match winner. She shot personal bests of 385/400 and 576/600. She is now officially a Master shooter.

Her Dad and I are very proud to say the least. Here of some pics of the finals. The cowboy hat she is wearing is her Daddy's. He always wore it during finals, so she felt it was tradition that she wear it as well. It brought tears to her Dad's and my eyes.

That is lots of work paying off for her.

Tell her she has my respect for the dedication and work time she has put in.


Then sit back and take some recognition as well for you and her father, for enabling her to succeed with her skills.

It was a lot of work for her to accomplish. There are people out there that honestly don't realise the time and dedication it takes to get to the level she is at. Whether you believe this is a "sport" or not, the training both physically and mentally that you have to put in is enormous.

The finals were so damn exciting because she was only up by one point and it would have been easy for the 2nd place person to take over but he didn't and she ended up winning by six points.

Thanks everyone for you congrats. She is very pleased with them.
