Cmon repair, you can give a better first time review than that.

BTW - Nice to meet you sir!

So cold

It was very cold but we had a good time. My wife and co-workers think I flipped out for going.

 

[bigcraig]

It wasn't that cold........ya bunch of nancy boys!

I didn't even wear a jacket.

Well if you had been asked to put your gun up for a range violation you might have written the same review..... not their fault mine.

Was it you who had the pump-action .22 that SNAFU'd?

No.

I was up after him and it had taken so long that other shooters were standing around.

The RO (super nice guy) was taller then me and when I shot I hit 1,2,4 and 5 in with no problem but I had trouble with plate 3.

On the 2nd round I was having more problems and I had to reload and I realized that the RO was causing a shadow on my front sight and I asked him to move and he did and then as I was engaged on the target he said that 30 sec had passed, it cought me off gaurd and as I was bringing the gun down I sent another round down range.

This was a range rule violation so I was disqualified and had to stop.

100% my malfunction but it was very enbaresing and I really didn't want to show my face on the forum again....... silly I know but I don't like to FAIL, don't mind losing but a FAIL sucks!!!!!!

I went to the KY gun show today and it lifted my spirits!

repair these things do happen. The fact that you're willing to admit to your mistake speaks volumes to your proper mindset when it comes to firearms safety.

Chalk it up to a mistake-- remain here on the forum-- and hit another FNS sometime!

Thanks for the kind words, I'm planning on making the next one..... as for the forum it's way too much fun to leave!

I was just feeling down last night.

Pressure? What squad were you planning to have her on? There's a lot of stuff that goes on with our little gang of misfits, but "pressure" isn't exactly in the mix. Unless you mean the pressure for us to behave ourselves in front of an impressionable youth. Of course she IS your daughter, so I'm not sure what damage is left for us to do.

Mag changes under pressure, not us! Oh, she is use to my gun buddies.

I guess I am really saying I am not sure she can do them yet. It is a safety thing, if I have to worry she ain't trained yet and since I am the trainer I know she is not trained on that yet.

Look at Mr. repair. He is an adult and he is mortified from his little cluster **** episode. If my 13 year old daughter had one out there she would be too.

As an aside to repair, I was not there, **** happens but it happened right so shake it off as best you can. It was good training to have it happen. I bet you change how you manage yourself, adrenaline and area around you while on the range shooting competitively.

Xmas break will be "training day" for her! We always give parts, guns and ammo.

Don't sweat it Repair. Your RO was a very nice guy and a very good RO. If you had a ND, then you had to go. No hurt feelings or anything, just the rules. If it makes you feel any better, you aren't the first and wont be the last. I have seen at least one very experienced shooter get DQ'd for an ND.

Mmmm.... Dairy Queen!

Scores are up

Scores are up at Indyrange.com. Hey Mark I have bragging rights this month.

 

[repair]

Oh I earned it........ and yeah my RO was a great guy and the RO that asked me to bag my stuff and leave the line was really nice.

I could have stayed and watched the rest of the matches but it was really cold and I didn't want to.... LOL

I had enough humble pie for one night. LOL

I'm not braggin' about jack squat... the "did we cover 'push pull'" on Stage 1 and the malfunction clusterf*ck (30) on stage 2 just killed my .22 rifle times. I'm also surprised I finished as strongly as I did in Production, given how poorly (I think) I shot.

Congrats to everyone who came out, just for braving the cold to get some trigger time in! We iz hardcore, yo.

 

[Simon6101]

I am really surprised

I never thought that the time s would be that good. It was soooo cold and with all the malfunctions but it was fun.

 

[glock34]

First time was Friday night. I am not sure I felt cold until I saw the frost forming on the gun case. I still had a great time. No one should worry about performance. I got up to shoot first time and pulled the trigger a couple times only to relize I had the safety.

 

[bigcraig]

I didn't do to bad, but I sure as hell could have done better!

Burl took 3rd in rimfire rifle division. Nick and Kenny better watch out, next year Burl may catch you guys.
