On the way home from the Hell Creek Kustoms 600 match at Sentinel Butte, North Dakota last Saturday, I dialed up the latest PRS podcast on the World Wide Web. Ken Wheeler was interviewing Morgun King.  You know Morgun? The guy who used to be known as “The Best Shooter To Have Never Won A Golden Bullet?” Well, that’s all been rectified now.
