(My last ever) Western States Revolver Championship
Don't get me wrong, it's a fun match with good stages and friendly people, but 14 stages in one day is just too much for me.
Rio Salado in Mesa AZ (just east of Phoenix) always does a good job, but this is where the big dogs come to play.
The single stack guys get two days to shoot it, but for 125 bucks with no lunch and no ROs, I'm out.
The coup de grâce (kill shot) for me was the last stage, stage 4.
I got there at 8:00 that morning, by 1:00pm we weren't even half way done. Some time around 5:00pm we slogged into stage 4. The final stage.
And what greeted us? A God **** 10 foot wall.
I wasn't going to climb it, because I didn't want to fall back down it. Not to mention, I didn't sign up for a track and field meet, I came to shoot.
I chose to run around it, and shoot from in front of it. I was done, it was a stupid stage.
I finally rolled out of there at 6:00pm. I'll never shoot it again, it's just too much for me.
I went home, had a glass of Ovaltine (Old Bushmills Irish Whiskey) and went to sleep.
When I woke up in the morning, I grabbed my gun one last time, because I wanted to shoot the cat that had **** in my mouth, then I remembered I don't have a cat
That's my story, you'll never see me at the Western States Revolver Championship again...
...unless they change it to two days
