Reshoot Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The reason why a 6" inch gun is more accurate than a 5" gun is because with the 6" you are closer to the target. Every little bit helps, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aandabooks Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 At last month's indoor bowling pin match I shot the 5 pins in 5-ish seconds but it took 8 shots. After I cleared the gun and cased it the guy timing me says "You sure did miss fast". It got me chuckling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillChunn Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Overheard at the match... "I never shoot any good at this range, never...". From the peanut gallery comes "So that begs the question, just where do you shoot good?" BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermobollocks Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 At a public range I used to go, every so often the range officer would see someone take a shot (offhand, 15y), diddle with the sights, then take another shot, and resume diddling. He'd offer to examine the gun, ask if he could test fire it, then call (and destroy) a piece of orange clay, 12ga hull, or something on the backstop. "The sights are fine."

CHA-LEE Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 When I am running a match and shooters start asking about obvious safety questions, like asking if they can engage a target from a shooting position that puts them well beyond the 180 I like to respond with ...."Every stage provides an opportunity to make the wrong decision.

Pat Miles Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Scoring an older gentleman's targets, during a match. The gentleman in question is a very likeable person, very good natured, but some of his ammo seems very, very light. So, scoring a target, I yelled over to him, "Hey (insert shooter name here), how do you think this one should be scored? It's just stuck in the cardboard! " "Hey, this target has two alpha dents!"

Make your decisions wisely" That goes along with what one of the founders of our club tells people when they start asking questions about his stages. He will say "You can do anything that you want to do, you just might have to go home after you do it". Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biloxi23 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 At the Alabama Sectional on Saturday I shot one "A" then one no shoot. I knew the shot was bad and immediately followed it up with a second "no shoot" hit. I fired a fourth shot into the "A." I continued and hit one more so shoot. After the RO sounded "range is clear," I asked him for a re-shoot. with a puzzled look on his face he asked the reason. I replied that there were two more no shoot that I forgot to hit. He thought it was pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Didn't personally witness it but I heard there was a match where an RO DQ'ed a shooter and the MD came running up and said, "I'm overturning the DQ because he's a new shooter"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 My favorite is asking a shooter "if you're REALLY finished unload and show clear". That's when the shooter starts looking around for the target they ran past or the steel they left up. After the range is clear the ribbing really starts.

Last shooter on the last stage. Showed me his muzzle at ULASC. MD said it was ok because he was new and the gun was unloaded. Funny, I never went back to that match.

openclassterror Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Didn't personally witness it but I heard there was a match where an RO DQ'ed a shooter and the MD came running up and said, "I'm overturning the DQ because he's a new shooter"! I was ROing at a big regional match. First squad, First day. Noob shooter didn't see a shotgun knockdown until after he transitioned to rifle. Let 'im have it from about 12 yards faster than I could stop him. I put the cease-fire to him and DQ'ed according to the written rules. MD came up, looked at the target ( which surprisingly barely had a dent) and said " give him a warning, it is his first match". Okay, they aren't my targets. I don't really mind, except that if an experienced shooter had been DQ'd for the same violation in that match there would have been a $h!tstorm because we let the noob off the hook. I understand not wanting to disillusion a new shooter, but between target damage and potential people damage that was a scary spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarTech Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Those aren't no shoots they are collaborators. <----- says a shooter I know all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerburgess Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I use the collaborator line myself. I also like to point out that anybody dumb enough to remain standing with all this shooting going on deserves to get shot.
