StuckinMS Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Embarrassing as it was and is: I once had gotten my 100 round ammo boxes mixed up and went to the match as always with mags already loaded, shot the first stage,went to re fill the mags and discovered that I had brought along 45 amp ammo and not 40 S&W. Won that first stage and then could only help paste targets afterwards. Felt really smart! Not! I now load up the night before and the day of recheck before leaving the drive to make sure ammo and equipment are right for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I did that, luckily the guys in my squad pooled together enough extra ammo for my wife and I to shoot the match anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Neeley Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 One thing I know is I learn something new (not to do) every time I go to a shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My check list is a LOT longer than yours : Gun & extra gun Mags Ammo (too much ammo) Earmuffs - 2 pair Glasses & spare glasses Food Beverages Tylenol Bandaids Wallet Gas Hat Sneakers (I once had to shoot a match in my lace shoes Hearing aids and extra batteries (so I can hear the beep and range commands) Weather appropriate clothing (and change) Seat and umbrella Basic tools for gun maintenance/repair The reason MY LIST is longer than yours, is that I've been shooting for 64 years, and have forgotten each of these items at least once - and it made my day a little more uncomfortable. Copy this list into your browser and print it out - put it on the visor of your car and check this list each time you pull out of your driveway Oh, and enjoy.

Boudreaux78 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Gun belt and under belt is always something important. Made it halfway to the range before I realized I forgot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
