You people are killing me here. This is some good stuff, someone should put all this in book. A few of the things I learned while growing up... Never try to crack open a walnut with a pocket knife while holding the walnut in your hand. 6 stitches in my left thumb from that one. Never run with a fork in your mouth. Thank God I was to young to remember that one very well. Never run while carrying a sharp stick. Had to have a 5 inch chunk of wood removed from my left cheek. Never throw rocks at people. Another 6 stitches from that one. I missed, he didn't. And never, ever try to ride a ginormous horse bareback that is trained for English riding when you only know a little about riding western style. No one told me that gripping tight with your legs is the signal to go faster to an English trained horse and that pulling back on the rains at the same time might just cause that peanut sized brain, 2500 Lb animal to buck like some rodeo bronc and throw your a$$ off his back. I doubt I even made it the full 8 seconds before I took a header right into the arena floor, thank God it was recently plowed up so it was kind of soft and the only thing bruised was my ego. Oh and one more... Never walk up to a someone you know sitting with a large group of people early on a Saturday morning and proceed to announce to the entire group how hungover you are and what a great time you had at this party you went to the night before, at least what parts you can remember and then ask him what he's doing there so early. I found out that it was an AA support group having their weekly meeting. It may not hurt like the other lessons but sure makes you feel like a moron!

Been shooting since I was a kid but attended my first ever IDPA event last Saturday although I didn't participate it was great to watch. I'm hoping to do a training class soon and then attend the next local meet as a participant next month. I figured this was the place to go for information. Hope to meet some of you someday soon.
