Walt S Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Well I'm on my way, or so I though. Practice every day, speed loading looking good, accuracy getting better. LET THE GAMES BEGIN as I'm going to kick Jerry V's butt (or that's the short term goal). First stage at TRI-COUNTY, did very good. Second stage, DQed. Shoot up one side of the course, picked up a wagon in the weak hand and started shooting back the other side. Instead of backing up, keeping my shoulders square to the 180, I walked straight back taking the targets as I came to them. The second target I shoot at 185/190 degrees from the line (I'M OUT, PUT THE GUN IN THE CAR, AND WATCHED OTHERS THE REST OF THE DAY. Did I feel bad, NOOOOO I made a MISTAKE that I learned from. I found out later that day that at least two others DQed the same way. NOT AN EXCUSE, but a learning level. P.S. I know Paul, the RO felt bad about having to DQ me, BUT HE DID HIS JOB as I would hope. He kept the the sport SAFE and I learned a lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airedale Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) Walt, It's just like ponies-there are those that are foundered and those that are "gonna". There's those shooters that have DQ'd and those that are "gonna". No one wants to but it happens. You got yours out of the way.

Carmoney Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Yep, I'd definitely say this trash-talking Jerry V--putting the boots to ol' Walt while he's got him down--fits in perfectly with the rest of us USPSA wheelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt S Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 I'm going to kick Jerry V's butt. WELL I DID KICK HIS BUTT today at the Dundee shoot. Unfortunately I did it with my boot, not my shooting. HE GOT ME AGAIN. Feel like I'm improving all the time, but have a ways to go before being compettive. Another fun, educational day with alot of nice people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
