LOL.

That's kinda cruel, Gary. But I like it.

Is it cruel if it applies to me as well? I've placed before with some pretty dang good shooters. I've also had equipment failure due to my own negligence knocking me out so early I still made it halfway across the metroplex to attend my daughter's soccer game. Me at a match is like a box of chocolates.

90 miles from Amarillo? So's my lease. We have a lot of set up opportunities like these all over our lease. We've set up steel in a couple of spots and confirmed our dials. Using Tposts and hangers for our steel makes it portable and random. Playing only one golf course gets boring and predictable, same with the local range. What is the class you refer to?

I won the 4-H Southwest Virginia Air Rifle Target Shooting championship when I was 11, does that count?

Only to your mother. I’m sure she was very proud.

This is me, transportation and the day off. I used to compete with Buzz to see who could get put out first, I’m good for 11 and out, but he started winning some rounds with that blue rifle he sold. bang

i know but never fear i'm still lurking in the shadows

Master class USPSA shooter here, 4-division steel challenge grandmaster. GSSF winner. Have shot my fair share of NRL22, and was a competitive shotgun shooter on the college circuit. Also do as much work on my guns as possible, and went on a building spree during COVID knocking out lots of builds of uzis, FALs, AKs, CETMEs, etc.

I shot 3-Gun, 2-Gun, PCC, Steel, Pistol and Shotgun matches for about 8 years. I wasn’t very good but had a lot of fun.
I’ve ROd for most of the local ranges during minor monthly and yearly major matches. I haven’t shot a match in a few years. I don’t offer a lot of advice but if I do, don’t listen to me.

Tip: On Internet forums, those with the highest post counts have the most knowledge.

I've been in 17 competitions so I'm now an expert😎 I also won a chili cook off at work so I can probably win terlingua now.

I can teach fundamental pistol shooting pretty decently

Probably so now last year I think it was 950.00 but 20% off for signing up two at the time.

If I wanted some training I’d be all over that. Looking at the qualifications of the instructor, the terrain and the three days of shooting that isnt bad at all.

Here is the brass we shot and that’s with one day of only shooting 22 RF working on drills.
Highly recommend!
