Vince Pinto Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Hi folks, In order to save a few trees (and a few bytes of Cyberspace) herewith are a list of Official IPSC Shooter's Excuses to use when we screw up a stage or match. This will enable us to use simplified codes instead of long-winded explanations: 10. I didn't use my gun / ammo / holster / lucky shooting hat 09. I had a lot of problems with jams / marmalades / peanut butter 08. I had a lot of problems with feeding / drinking / swearing 07. I had a broken sear / extractor / firing pin / heart 06. I had a very painful hand / foot / knee / divorce 05. I had a malfunction with a target / prop / the family brain cell 04. The RO was blind / stupid / corrupt / Sarah Brady 03. Last night I didn't get any food / sleep / sex 02. This morning I was constipated / bloated / bleared eyed / horny 01. The frequency of the timer buzzer frazzled my eyes / ears / nether regions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskey Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Another one that I used this past weekend,"This is a new gun and I have only shot it to zero the sights" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I've changed guns so many times over the past several weeks the "new gun/changed guns" excuse is completely worn out. And having finally settled on the Kimber (and blabbing to everyone about it), I have no excuses left!! Heh-heh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ankeny Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I heard this from one of the greatest PPC shooters who ever lived, "I forgot to allow for the rotation of the Earth." Funny thing is, I think he meant it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgary Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 What about "But it made major over my Chrony!" ?? And, as a stats guy, my favorite is always the shooter who wanders into the stat shack and starts rummaging through things looking for an extra scorecard, because "they said I could have a reshoot" Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Oh, and I almost forgot one of my favorites: "There's just too much drama in my life" (voiced by a top shooter at the 3-gun Nats) Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
