    Quotable
    "I wish shooting was as popular as tennis or golf with those kind of payoffs, so you could make a living at it and enjoy something as much as I do. I could talk about shooting 24/7. I live, breathe, eat, sleep about shooting and hunting. I am obsessed with perfection and really sometimes become my biggest critic. I've always been a shooter. It's right up my alley. As long as the gun runs, it's up to the guy behind it to shoot. I'm obsessed with competition. I love the comraderie, the personal satisfaction."
