Donovan tells me he now practices almost every day with his new HW97 “springer”.    And what a piston gun it is.  Words can't do it justice.  The  full custom designed field target stock is a work of art;  hydro-dip finished in a simulated carbon fiber pattern of Corvette blue and black.  The clear-coat shine is so deep it looks like you could sink your arms up to your elbows into the finish.   It's still a work in progress as he plans to top it off with a new 10 – 60 March Scope and other goodies.  That will be one Extreme WOW !   I'm looking forward to Donovan shooting that piston powered super rig at some DeSoto Airgunners competition next year.</div> <bR> <div> Speaking of 2013,  It's <I>almost </I>official; the 2013 Florida State Match will be hosted at the DeSoto Gun Club on Sunday March 10th,  2013.  More details should be available very soon.</div> <bR> <div> A final word of Thanks and Well Wishes.  We deeply appreciate the support of the DeSoto Gun Club, its directors and membership.  Many thanks also to all the Field Target enthusiasts who often drive long distances to enjoy the competition and the camaraderie our sport can offer.  We wish you all Happy Holidays, and a Healthy, Safe New Year !   - Ron Z.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Equipment Matrix and Scores:</B></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="3" CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH="582"
