Stop in for a cup of coffee
Well day one of State Championships is in the books. Just over 100 shooters. That is low compared to years past. Most are citing gas cost for no show. After shooting thousands of “modern” rounds this week it was very difficult to transition. I got a penalty for double tapping a target I should not have, I mean really, who only shoots a target once! Hah. On first stage when I was complete I went to unload table got my rifle brass and shotgun shells. The guy working the table looked at me like I was a moron, I have been so used to a “hot” range I forgot pistol protocol at Cowboy matches. I was thinking well you idiot obviously my pistols are safe they are in my holster! Ooops, I immediately pulled them and unloaded the brass in front of him and gave the cylinder the obligatory spin. I do love that sound! Long hot day no idea where I am in points. Day two will be telling. Notice thumb on rifle pix, if you want to be in the money you do not have time to wrap the thumb around the stock, head erect and go just as fast as you possibly can, and yes you do have to hit the targets as well! Hah!
