It's a conditioned response.

Thanks, Savage Eagle, for the vidio. Never thought of myself as an "Ol Boy, but I guess the gray hair and tri-focals qualifies me for that title. Glad to see the vidio of the fire breathing S&W. For those who asked, the load was 7.6 gr. Power Pistol behind a 124 gr. Rainier flatpoint. Don't try this load in any alloy frame gun! Start low and work up slowly. I'll see what I can cook up for entertainment next time.
The vidio was a big help in training. Great to see what you are really doing VS what you think you are doing.

LOL That's just my universal "that guy" phrase! No offense intended... I can make DVD/CDs of the pics and vids if anyone wants copies of the originals. I realized I couldn't email the videos when I got a message saying attachment limit reached... Pictures I can email, vids, no.

That S&W was just an awesome sight to watch. Everyone taught me a little something at the match and I appreciate it. I definately need more practice before I compete, but I can't wait!

Don't let Rhino hear you say that. He'll accuse you of cheating.

For a lot of people, competing is practice.

LOL my aim on small targets at 25yrds is my weak point with a pistol. I've only been shooting pistols for a year now and haven't had much practice. I'm not a bad shot, but I'm not great either. Shooting a small steel targets wouldn't be my strong point right now which is why I say I need practice. Hopefully I'll get a chance to practice more before next month's shoot!

I've only been shooting 6 months and I've shot in a USPSA match. You have had LOADS more time to practice than I have. And the boys can attest that my bullets are allergic to steel. Stop making excuses and go shoot.

Waiting until you're "good enough" to compete is kind of like waiting until you're not a sinner before you go to church. Competition will make your shooting better, and it is practice if you approach it with the right attitude and goals.

As long as you can keep the muzzle pointed downrange and your booger-hooker off of the bang switch until you're ready to shoot, you're ready to shoot steel at MCF&G.

...and I didn't even use the 'fun' switch!!!!!

slacker · 09-15-2008

I will be shooting next month. All I have so far is my hi-point c9, but hey it should get the job done, and its just for fun anyways!

CORRECTION CORRECTION
The 9 mm load mentioned above for the "flame throwing S&W was incorrect.
It's 6.2 gr. Power Pistol
When you get old you get confused. I was thiinking a 40 S&W load not 9mm.
