Kim Rhode wins again (yawn)
People must be ready to pack up and leave if she even shows up.

I met her at the NRA convention this year in Dallas. She was very nice to all the people in line who wanted free autographs. She talked with each person, and even let the kids get pictures while they were wearing her Olympic medals.
That doesn't make her a better athlete, but I always like it when a person who has worked to get to the top of their field is still down-to-earth enough to take the time to be nice to people.

Agree 100% John, down to earth is well put.
Never met the lady, but would like to. Actions speak louder than words.

She is a remarkable athlete and a great American.
Her shooting abilities are legendary in spite of the fact that the State of California's ammo laws are stone walling her training schedule.

I do remember her mentioning that, due to some of the new CA laws, she was having trouble maintaining an ammo supply sufficient for her normal training schedule. I suggested she move to TX and she replied that I was not the first to have extended the invitation.

She practices where she does because of the difficult background and terrain which she has stated helps her prepare for events anywhere in the world.
