Thanks everyone, to start off I need to correctmy wife about the points. I did score a 129 and I was 6 points behind 5th place. So I missed the cut to top5 not by much. I quote and agree what a few other callers said, I have room for inprovmentbut yetI should be very happy for what I have accomplished. This was my very first time at worlds so I am happy with that but I also have a burning desire to do even better on the next go around. Anyway my wife is correct about being sponsored by both ASAT and Knight and Hale. Its a unoffical but offical type of sponsor ship so to speak. I don't want to go pro yet, so I will not be on the pay list and I will not work the booths at different shows for either of them. I will get all the free calls I want and need, and some free shirts and a bit of camo to boot for hunting as well. But I am notaPRO STAFF, just yet anyway. That will come for me, Knight and Hale would have been willing and wanted me to do that then. But I said no because I want a crack at winning worlds in the mens division. And I feel I still need experience and become a better competition caller. They said for two years they would sponsor me, then when the two years is up and if I feel Knight and Hale is right for me I will sign on as pro staff. If not and I don't like the deal we can part our ways without any hard feelings. I agreed and I'll have fun finding out if I am ment to be on their pro staff. I haven't used their calls much but have tried them this past week and I can say I realy do like them. There single diaphrams are so so soft. I honestly think it will help me improve my cow calling to the next level. It was sure fun watching the masters at work, guys like Corey Jacobsen, his dad Rocky, Dan Whitmus, Al Moris, Steve Cordell, (Steve won the men's division) Adury Mcqueen and many others. I did do good but I need to raise the bar to the next level and become one the big dogs/top contendersso to speak. That will happen with lots of practice and time. Thanks again, and Paul I look foward to talking with you. Jason
