Chris was a great teacher and a greater friend. We always laughed and joked that there was no one that Chris' didn't know. My best memories of Chris was from a World Championship a few years back. He got stuck in the wrong class and ended up on my course. Couple groups in front of me. We were not really backed up but had caught up to his group. His group shot from the stake they needed to and of course Chris was dead center in the 11. They backed away from the stake ( a walk in to the stake and then walk around to the target type thing) and walked up the hill to get around the obsticles in the way. Chris stops what I guessed the yardage at as 67 yards. He stated later from where he was at he shot it for 63. Which in this case was 13 yards past his stake. He looked at it, these guys in my group and his group laughed and asked what he was doing (this was a IBO shoot and we only 11's) he stated he was going to shoot the ASA 14 on this mule deer down hill on a angle at 63 yards. Everyone chuckled, and it was the last shot of the day, I remember one guy stating I got a dollar says you cant. I was the first to speak up and through my dollar in the hat stating it would be inside the lines even. They all laughed and he smiled at me with his cig hanging out of his mouth. Smack dead center in the 14. These guys just looked at him I was laughing pulling the money from the hat. Great memory. Anyone that knew Chris' Knew a shot like that for him was a chip shot. Another site has some comments posted. One of the best is the local shop owner. He told his sons about what had happened and they both looked at their dad and asked who would be helping them out now when they need it. Chris was that type of guy! No chore too big or too small. He was always there for everyone. Especially for the little kids.
