I learned that having an intimate relationship with your front sight is a good thing when there are headshots and no shoots EVERYWHERE!
I learned that at 47 I don't bend nearly as well as I did at 27. Yoga may be in my future...
I learned that if you put 10 dollars into a video poker machine and pretend to play, you can drink a lot of Guinness.
I learned once again that shooters are great people and more than willing to help anyone shoot a better match.

Great match, lots of fun, challenging stages. ROs were terrific overall. Had a great time shooting through on Friday with a squad of terrific shooters who even competed on taping and resetting steel
. After the first few stages though, I started wondering why they were letting me shoot with them. 
Congrats Cha-lee, the way you were shooting, I figured you were going to do well.

While looking for the ejected round after finishing a steel challenge stage this past weekend, one of my friends (?) asks, "What're you looking for, your self respect?"
laughed my ass off

In addition to many that have already been listed:
Once Upon a time in the West (Henry Fonda doing a fantastic job of being evil, oh and it has that Bronson guy too!)

So the old saw, "haste makes waste", holds true?

western states single stack, early morning day 1, sun peaking up over the mountain:
bang
"wow, i can see the sun on the bullets and watch them go down range, that's so cool!"
"pull the trigger you idiot you're wasting time!"
2-day match somewhere relatively recently:
bang bang
bang bang
bang bang
"huh"
"that target already has two holes in it"
"that's odd, i haven't shot it yet"
"huh"
bang bang
the sad part was i repeated that conversation on the next 3 targets that had not been taped after the previous shooter.

"If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell......"
Its been so hot lately this almost makes sense
As much as I like Mark Twain, I'm not sure he ever said anything that wasn't quotable, but the Hell and Texas quote belongs to Phil Sheridan.

funny stuff, but the Scout reminds me of the Shamwow guy

I came across this while reading Andrew Wyeth's obit, and it kind of reminded me of this thread:
Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

High school student teacher - Anita Hed
I also worked with a guy named Richard Holder, interesting that when I worked with him he went by Richard, but I've met other people that worked with him on other contracts where he went by Dick.

Thank you for those kind words
It was a pleasure to meet you and all the other shooters from Arizona. (did you all carpool?)
You guys are funny!
Where's Worlta?
Terry, Tag, and I pooled from Yuma and picked up John Harma in Phoenix. Waltah and Tony came in from Phoenix or thereabouts, I think.
We do our best to entertain ourselves, if anyone else laughs, so much the better

Very fun match to shoot! Even more fun to meet and shoot with Gentleman Jim and Lady in Blue
Kudos to all involved,

I bought a 42" LG LCD about a year ago and I love it. 3 HDMI inputs, up to 1080p resolution. currently on sale at circuit city for 1099, my only regret is that I didn't go for the 46" instead as I'm usually watching it from 20 feet or more.

It's a good read, but the author is actually:

And a whole lot of intestinal fortitude to get into that tincan on top of aa few million pounds of controlled explosion!

It was one of the Mercury astronauts, Deke Slayton, I think, that said something along the lines of, "It's an interesting feeling being on top of a rocket where you know with absolute certainty that every part was supplied by the lowest bidder."
Not to mention that you know all of those guys had to have watched the films of every one of those failed launches countless times

that 39 years ago (+1 day) with slide rules and computers with less computing power than most modern calculators, we landed two men on the moon and returned them to earth safely. What a remarkable achievement.

Put me down too! I love the techwear shirt I picked up at the Area 1 shoot last month.

After loading my mags, I wipe them down with a silicon cloth that I keep in a ziplock in my range bag. Works good, keeps the outsides clean and gives them a little slicker feel.

the real question would have been, "when's the funereal?"
. After the first few stages though, I started wondering why they were letting me shoot with them.
