NickC 23 Posted May 6, 2012 Do tell Nick, what happened? Did Alec make fun of your stance again and you DQ'd? Haha, no... I wish it was. On the second to last stage I put a round into the ground on my draw. About a foot from the box. It was dangerously close. Scared the hell out of me and poor Henry who was RO'ing at the time. But for me, the worst part was that it really shook up the group. Everyone really seemed to be in a good mood and enjoying the day until then. Knowing that i ruined everyones time totally sucks... I'm just happy nobody got hurt and i have all my toes. Alec did however take time to snap a pics of the hole in the ground so i can use it as a forum pics. He's the best!

henrym 19 Posted May 7, 2012 Nick it was a bummer i had to give you the DQ, but it was a good experience overall, and you handled it like a true gentleman. It reminded the group that things do happen, and at least every one was safe. As far as ruining everyones time, you didn't, it was that stupid last stage with the itty bitty plates.

M4BGRINGO 139 Posted May 9, 2012 Nick/Henry, I meant to ask something: How long was it between the time the timer beeped and the shot went into the ground? Maybe we have a new record for the first shot off time...................... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hd2000fxdl 422 Posted May 11, 2012 If anyone that will be at the match is interested: I'm at work, and I don't know how many I have, but I'll have a few boxes of Lawmans and Federal A&E .40 S&W for sale with me for 16 bucks per 50. Not looking to make money just recoup what I paid for it with shipping, actually I will be taking a slight loss, but I am looking to make room in my Ammo Closet for my reloads. I'll post up later when I get home how many boxes I'll be bringing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
