"Hooked by the Gil Ash!"

Go ahead say what you want about CaLEFTornia...I do! It's crowded freeways, it's smog, it's crime. Hell we have all seen it and we hate it as much as you do...but we LOVE to hate it....that is the difference.

So when I heard GIL & VICKY ASH were doing a clinic at one of my favorite ranges I dialed Gil immediately at his Texas residence to set an appointment to meet him. Gil & Vicky have been on the TRIGGER SPORTS SHOW many times...heck they have been on radio, TV and in the print media since the 80S. Every time I speak to them they have broken another unbreakable barrier. Amazing couple by anyone standards.

So off I went to intercept them before they flew back to Houston. Challenging Los Angles traffic is always a "crap shoot"...excuse the pun. But never a dull shoot. As I approached the cut off from 101 to hwy 60 leading to El Monte where my meeting had been set a motor cycle screamed by with two individuals. The passenger was clinging tightly to the driver. Both were stripped to the waist wearing Darth Vader-type helmets and displaying so many "TATS"...that's tattoos to you foreigners...that it almost looked like one single body. Figured I would never see them again. Although I have become pretty adapt at snapping photos out the window at 70 mph the cycle came and vanished before the thought even came into my head! But I did wonder about the couple? The passenger had a death grip on the driver as they weaved in and around the traffic....soon I saw the cycle pulled over by the two of our famous CHP officers. The passenger was a girl----> TOPLESS! One officer was leading them to his patrol car as the other followed----> IT'S L.A. DUDE...It's about the Sun, the Surf and the Beach and the EXPERENCE!..... you just got to be here!..lol..lol..

Anyway....didn't mean to distract you but the traffic did get backed up during her walk to the officers car. Soooo...as I continued on...the traffic did pick up the pace eventually but you had to feel sorry for the poor guy who was slowed down by the TOPLESS parade....but never knew why.

Well it wasn't long after that I pulled into Triple BBB Clays. It was only a short time ago I was announcing the one of our own----> ZACK KIENBAUM had left his hideout in Northern California to take over a position at BBB. I was hoping to see him.

Sure enough I caught Zack sitting at a table talking to a patron. He went on to tell me he was shooting as much...maybe even more than he had while living up north. Working here had been a dream come true. Plus at that very moment he was waiting to finish a ATA shoot! He shot a 96 and seemed upset??? The only 96 I will see is if I live that long! Anyway he did have some special news for those of us who run the "competition road".

Seems they have designed a "crossing station?" Yea I didn't get to see it because JIM PORTER had some kids using the station to raise money for a school program. But it was described to me as the ONLY one of it's kind. This particular station is design to practice CROSSERS at several MARKED indicators. Essentially you can step up and shoot CROSSERS at different yardage...close to far away. Like I said I did not see it but I will have more soon....

Returning to the Blazer I began assembling my FIELD interview equipment anticipating the arrival of GIL ASH. I didn't have to wait long. Gil roared up with a student, RON CARTER, from Reno Nevada on his borrowed Shooting Cart. It was Ron's third lesson with Mr. Ash. The most amazing comment Ron made about the lesson you will have to hear on the TRIGGER SPORTS SHOW....oh hell I'll give you a hint. Ron said with some pride...."What I have learned from Mr. Ash has not only improved my shooting, it has effected my personal life. I am now a better person. I am more patient and understanding with my kids and my wife...." All I can add is that Gil has broken another barrier in training...it goes beyond just shooting.....

LISTEN SHOOTERS SEND ME YOUR MAILING ADDRESS AND I WILL SEND YOU A COPY OF THE SHOW!

Eventually Gil and I found a cold soft drink....and..and he bought it! We drove off to a shady spot near the club house and recorded a full hour's show. You got to get this so call MONICA at the office and get your copy of the show. PLUS....PLUS....YOU WILL FIND OUT WHO GIL'S NEW SPONSOR IS AND WHAT HIS NEW BOAT IS AND... AND.... AND....DID YOU KNOW HE CAUGHT A WORLD RECORD 55LB RED FISH??? ----------> WELL IT WAS A FISH STORY...BUT no matter what I absoluty refuse to tell you the name of the good looking blond in the cap----> my "secret" source for the information...lol..lol...
