John,
I'd like to think so but I met Bryan several years ago at the Midwest Palma matches in Lodi when I won the Wisconsin 1000yd championship for Master class. I think this was before he finished his book and started gaining national notoriety. We shot on the same point and I got to pull and score for him. There is no doubt in my mind that Brian doesn't need my help. :-) Not only is he a very intelligent engineer, he is a fantastic shooter and wind reader. In a no-wind or constant wind situation, he would just tear up the 6" spotter disk in the X-ring at 1000yds shooting prone from a sling with iron sights. It was a great experience. He freely offered advice to other competitors and I learned a lot.
