I've been shooting IPSC for about a year. I was DQ'd over the weekend for an AD. It the first time for both. It was stupid and careless, made worse by the fact the shot went over the berm. I hung around for a half an hour to see if the cops showed up praying it didn't hit someone.
The point is that to say I was embarassed and humiliated doesn't even begin to describe how I feel 24 hour later. My question to the forum -- I have been told that this happens even to the veterans from time to time,and I have seen one veteran do it, but that's it and part of me is saying that if I am so bad after one year of doing this that I can make a mental mistake like that, perhaps I should take up golf.
I'd appreciate hearing from some of the veterans here. If you want to call me an idiot who brings disgrace to the sport, feel free to, though I've already called myself that enough times. What is the frequency of AD's?
