Kippi Boykin survived stage<br />

28, getting all her points even<br />

while firing in several seconds<br />

of darkness! She finished stage<br />

29 in 6 seconds putting her in a<br />

commanding lead.<br />

Debby James was the last of<br />

the US Team to shoot a pistol<br />

in Australia. A match veteran,<br />

she knew what must be done.<br />

She finished stage 28 in 3.80<br />

seconds, a Master run.<br />

Sitting in a darkened car,<br />

was the start position of stage<br />

29. On signal, she groped in<br />

the pitch black glove box for her<br />

.38 super. 8 muzzles blasts lit<br />

the darkened room in 4.60<br />

seconds. She exited the car,<br />

showed clear, and walked<br />

downrange into IPSC history.<br />

The only woman to ever win<br />

consecutive World Titles.<br />

World Shoot M was not the<br />

picnic we'd expected. It was 9<br />

days of hard work. At weeks<br />

end we, the Americans, asserted<br />

beyond any shadow of a doubt,<br />

our continued dominance in the<br />

sport of IPSC.<br />

The closing ceremonies were<br />

very disappointing. Traditionally,<br />

champions and nations are<br />

honored for excellence in inter-<br />

national competition.<br />

At the<br />

awards banquet, the 2 IPSC<br />

World Champions were initially<br />

mentioned in a "By-The-Way"<br />

fashion, not by name, but as<br />

"...The lady ..." and "... the match<br />

winner ..." Our US Mens' and<br />

Womens' teams, two of the<br />

strongest IPSC teams ever<br />

assembled, and the very'best in<br />

the world were called up piecemeal,<br />

omitting members names.<br />

They fought the good fight<br />

and won in the eyes of extreme<br />

adversity. And, although only<br />

one man and one woman had a<br />

few more points than the rest,<br />

all 10 are World Champions!<br />
