I'm pretty sure some of you knew and shot with Mike Patterson(KY), especially if you have shot at Friendship. Mike has left us for a better place after a long agonizing illness. I know I will miss a good friend.

Yes! Woody let me know. Sad. And like you say "in a better place"
I've known Mike from years at Raton and a few trips to AZ shooting at Ben Avery. Often many of the match competitors would stay at the same hotel and have dinners out after matches. We had lots of good conversations over the years.
I have a barrel on one rifle, and a forearm on another from Mike's take-a-parts and put together Highwalls. He is gone but not forgotten.

He did like to mix and match his Win HWs. I ended up with a couple of the donors and some parts.
