NYMag Crowns Alex DerHohannesian

In a recent web feature, New York Magazine selected Alex DerHohannesian as 'da Champ' of the New York City Big Buck players (No doubt based on his recent appearance HERE at Porch).

You are definitely the best looking of that crowd.

We are always interested in collecting people's strategies and tips to pass on to other players. Pappy particularly liked your quote:

"It’s all about getting the right buzz, where I’m not that sober but I’m not totally sauced. You’ve got to capture and embrace that perfect four-to-seven-beer level."

- Alex DerHohannesian

We all appreciate the advice, ... although I'm not sure your mom is going to want to cut out that quote and pin it up on the fridge.

UPDATE:

Newly-crowned Alex must have found that perfect four-to-seven-beer level last night as he just posted a massive 35,025 pt score on the Big Buck Safari National Trny "Tourney of Doom" to put him atop the leaderboard. His score was high enough and apparently so was he.

That's a heckuva shot!

We at Pappy's Porch would like to send out our congratulations to Alex Derhohannesian of New York, New York for taking 1st Place in Jungle Jam, the Big Buck Safari National Tournament. His score of 36323 pts, and perfect streak of 10 were very impressive, but even more impressive was his eye-popping 76% accuracy!


To better understand that feat, consider that there are 9 targets at each site (3 deer, 1 trophy animal & 5 critters). To obtain a 76% accuracy across 10 sites, you'd have to bring down all 9 targets in each site with less than 12 shots fired per site! Yikes!

Alex, we salute your high accuracy. Pappy says he thinks you got to be a crack shot from having to shoot all those letters in your last name when you login (he can be a bit surly sometimes).

We at the porch hope that for all you Big Buck players out there, that this brief story would serve as an inspiration to continue to aim high and to continue to improve your aiming skills.
