Jimmie’s proudest accomplishments were winning the Elder Statesman Category at Southwest regionals and becoming the MVSA overall club champion, which included cowboy shooting, skeet, trap, IDPA, and CMP shooting. Jimmie and Ann traveled Arkansas, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and even traveled to Alaska for a month of cowboy shooting. They loved hooking up their camper and heading out to the range.
