Kenda, you really are the 'TOP GUN'! I watched your Colt Eliminator run over and over and I am amazed at how you shoot from maximum distances performing instant reach back shots! I am so proud of you! The "OVERALL WORLD CHAMPION"! I wish you the 'very best' Kenda, you 'earned' it and you 'deserve' it! Sid : ))
