The history of Jenny X. part VI

The X stands for EXTREME.
Regular readers of this blog know that Jenny is, among other things, a master of camoflage the proud owner of both a canoe AND an over-under & the best shot at his local gun club. But did you know that Jenny X is also the world record holder in the 1992 Big Air contest at Breckenridge?

This is photographic proof that Jenny can throw down the nose bleeds when it matters. His massive 6 to 8 inches of air may seem paltry today but back in those days that was EXTREME.

If memory serves after booting this humungous Scott Schmidt iron cross tip drop monster, he was asked to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Being the understated player he is, he turned them down. But now you all know. This photo proves who the baddest mofo on the mountain really is.So endeth the lesson of Jenny X.

History Of Jenny X Part III

Building a blind requires time and effort. Here we see a blind built and maintained by the 'Master of Camoflage' Jenny X himself. In the pacific flyway we have to completely conceal ourselfs and all of the equipment we bring along (chairs and wikki) lest the ducks see us and make a hasty retreat. We also must constantly put new grasses and willows or cornstalks on our blinds to try to remain out of sight. Not Jenny X. His calling and shooting are so good that he can remain in the open like this and still bring them in. On the day I was here we shot no ducks but I'm sure Jenny brings down flocks of ducks when I'm not around. Perhaps it was my non-expert presence that kept them away, or the fact that I am not a 'Master of Camoflage' as he is.

The Legend Of Jenny X

The Legend of Jenny X started a long time ago in the small mountain town of Breckenridge. It began with a season long couch surfer and blossomed into one of the great stories of a tree stand havin', pickup truck drivin', gunsafe in the basement, New Hampshire redneck. No time for that story now, maybe more later, but since I'm into poetry according to my profile I have written this poem as an ode to Jenny X. Jenny Jenny who can I turn to?For the price of a dime I can always turn to you. I know you think that I'm like all the others before,Who saw your name and number on the wall.508-361-8406508-361-8406.

Jenny X Part II

Jenny has a canoe. If you have a canoe and water close by your house you too can paddle right out to the hunting blinds you set up. If however you are like the rest of us and don't live in rural B.F. New Hampshire, you must drive long distances and deal with others using the blind you spent all that time building. Also if you have a canoe you can fold a duck waaaaay out there and jump in said canoe to retrieve your duck. If you don't have one you get to only shoot close in and wade out to your duck. Better hope it's dead too or else you may find yourself chasing that duck into the bushes. Finally if you have a canoe you can paddle out to a place away from other people, but if you don't, be prepared for that guy 100 yards away with a stupid dog named Angel running aroung in the water.I also know that a canoe costs money. Not if you're Jenny X. You go to a D.U. dinner and buy two or three tickets to the raffel and walk with a canoe AND a Benelli Nova.So endeth the lesson of Jenny X. part II.

The History Of Jenny X Part IV

Jenny has an over-under. Most of us in the 'average guy' world don't have an over-under. This is because we live in the normal places that people live, like cities and towns. If however, you live in B F New Hampshire you NEED an over-under. You need one because you have not one but two gun clubs within an easy drive of your house. Gun clubs are great because they allow you to shoot trap, skeet, indoor range, outdoor range and other types of shooting as well. This is where the over-under comes into play. You could go shooting with your hunting gun or something like it but then people might not think you are cool enough to be in their club, so you have a pretty Browning over-under. This is cool. For a little money you get to go shoot at unlimited clay pigeons thrown from a voice activated trap house and this helps you become a better shot when the ducks come by in the fall. Yep, Jenny has an over-under.Fred and I have it a little different. We drive an hour plus out to the back woods of Hood River. Then we take turns using the hand thrower to launch clay pigeons into the bursh while the other person tries to shoot them down. Sometimes other cars drive past in a cloud of dust and suspicion. Eventually we run out of clays and ammo and then it's time to drive back home. One time our truck almost died on the dusty back roads and we barely made it home. (Oh yea, Jenny has a Hemi Dodge too) Most importantly, neither of us have an over-under. So endeth the lesson of Jenny X.
