I got mission barbecue to cater a lunch at work one time. Weren't half bad at all.

Sort of seems you're letting the bureaucratic managerial end of the business carry matches over from an enjoyable sport/hobby to a tedious chore. Sometimes you just have to take care of yourself if it's not your baby. Take a step back awhile, get more into enjoying it, then do some r/o or whatever once you're in the groove. It's not supposed to be a job.

Now that is a pro move. Unless they scored poorly. Then photocopy it and give everyone a copy

Tell me your next event, I'll be there in my competition tutu. Shooting low scores of course.

Never go full hooah!

I shoot matches infrequently. Mostly for something to do. Long as I don't shoot myself in the foot, the score isn't any concern to my hobbled old self. I'm a consumate casual.

Miss America finalists? Pageantry is the 1980s version of YouTube celebrities. Just have to do the ceremonial wave and hope for world peace.

I have to say, I never equated course strategy with dog training, but I can understand your thought process on it.

Was the RO's name Tim Donaghy by any chance?

You up in the Panhandle?

Were there 126 other Jarheads signed up?

So you're a post Garcia then? (It's a Sako thing)

Happy to have you cat caller

Try some Kierkegaard

David Byrne- Bringing down the house. He's such a cnt.

Make some contacts and friends, they'll see you through hard times.

When in doubt, undertake the difficult option

Live was never intended to be fair. Get over it.

From personal observation, children will only queue in on something for 20-30 minutes without wandering off. Unless it's a video game. Their engagement is tied to their interest and enjoyment of such. They like to be talked with instead of talked at. Some aren't terribly fond of the sound and even the felt blast, though a 22lr is minimal in both. Most anything working with children is an exercise in patience. More fatherly and less Full Metal Jacket boot camp style. They learn at their own pace. Most children will need several iterations to develop consistent sight alignment and trigger squeeze. Some really don't seem to understand the breathing aspect. They get anxious or excited by a new place and experience. A farm field is a better environment than the know creek invasion of Normandy effect.

I'm no grandmaster, not by several miles. I think you'll (hopefully) come to enjoy the competitions and camaraderie. There will be people at competitions to observe and speak with, some may be willing to give you some hands on advice from their years in the sport. Try to have some fun with it before getting wallowed in every piece of kit and tinkering with springs. It's a long road and a lot of years of practice to the top. CZ makes pretty well sorted out equipment for the consumer market.

How much 9mm do I keep on hand? All that exists - what I am able to steal. Life goals

That's a very fair point. The mass producers all want to make money on 40$ rebadged mecgars. Until recently, 2011's were primarily known for competition use. Nowhere near the volume, but surely a profitable product nonetheless.

Sig has had a lot of unhappy people terming themselves beta testers on different sig products over the past several years. P938, p320, p365, all sorts of issues. I had the opportunity to handle and shoot a rack of 20-30 p320 pistols awhile back with 124 grain ball. Much crap as I give Glock, the p320s would wish to arrive at the Glock's accuracy and reliability.

Sort of sad she wound up with some real muppets for children. She seemed a lovely woman.
