pronematch.com Welcomes German Salazar

Hap Rocketto | January 13, 2010 | no comments

SalazarBIOx300Pronematch.com is happy to announce that German Salazar has accepted an offer he couldn’t refuse. After a meeting with our staff recruiter he demurred, in his humble way, stating that he was not made of the stern stuff the site required in a writer. However, after waking up with a horse’s head at the base of his bed he had a change of heart and has now graciously accepted the post of our far western correspondent, writer, raconteur, and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary without portfolio.

German is both a fine marksman and a shooting technogeek who will add a new facet to our coverage of shooting. Salazar is Double Distinguished with service arms, earning his rifle badge with the M-1, as well as an NRA Distinguished Smallbore Prone Rifleman. He is a member of the Presidents Hundred with pistol, NRA rifle 1600 club and the NRA pistol 2600 club, which makes him a rare animal, indeed. A member of the 1998 US Dewar Team he has also a number of regional and state championship titles under his belt.
