Re: Will you accept the challenge?

Post by Bayou City Boy »

I apologize if my simple attempt to add a technical note to an issue that was mentioned caused others to react emotionally without thinking beyond the end of their nose. An emotional wrapped reaction complete with accusations was not what I expected when I posted.

And for folks who know me, they will likely telly you I am a competitor, but no one who knows me well has ever suggested or accused me of cheating to win at anything. I've always been able to compete by the rules; well knowing others don't always follow the same path.

As I stated in my first post, I have no intention of shooting anyway, so what decision is/was made is not a concern to me. If a couple of you missed that or just chose to ignore it and be hormonal in your responses, that's not my concern either. Nor would it have been a concern of mine if I had chosen to shoot. I again just tried to add a technical comparison if there was going to be a concern on the part of others that would force a decision to be made. It sounds like the question solved itself.

Enjoy your shoot....

Wish i could enter this time,but i am way too busy with work this time of year.
Just one question though out of interest.
Would you be allowed to enter the Factory rifle/factory ammo,and the factory rifle class with the same rifle.
Or is it just me not being very bright.
I only have to be lucky once,
the fox has to be lucky every time!

I for one did not know I called you a cheat if you took it that way I will apologize. I do not want to change this post or this shoot into a bit chin match. I just don’t think that the good people here that work hard at putting this on need to have everyone trying to change the rules at the last minute. As far as seeing past my nose I prefer to look at 100 yards and beyond. I did not try to ruffle feathers but would like for everyone to enjoy the shoot if I offended you or anyone else again I apologize. I would like to apologize to anyone that took my post the wrong way and will drop it at this time. I simply stated if you don’t like the rules pick up your marbles and go play in a different playground. I would like to meet you sometime shake your hand and have a cold one over this misunderstanding. This is the last post I will make on this shoot and wish everyone the best of luck and str8 shooting to all

My hat is off to all those that put themselves on the line by participating in this shoot. I have been very competitive in my life and fully understand the rush you get while actively competing. No drug can duplicate the feeling. The butterflies and cold sweats as crowds of people watch your every move. There's nothing like it. If you can't relate to what I just said, sign up for this shoot and try it. The pressure will grow as you get closer to the day you shoot for score. Some people can handle the pressure and some can't. People who watch from the sideline will never understand.

Good Luck, to ALL. (Can I buy you that cup of coffee?)

:l33t: I'll take a double monk-a-dunk-a-frap-a-chino-la-te-espresso DECAF. I have special beans for match days.Our weekly off hand shoot is NOT caffeine friendly.
I opened up a fresh lot of match bullets and found this. A super hollow point. If the bullet would hold together it would make pudding out of skippy :twisted:

I stuffed about thirty envelopes with about fifty targets last night. They will hit the post office today. Some of you may have your targets by this weekend. Better check the weather report.

There are still plenty of targets left. Drop me a PM and get yourself registered. I'm getting excited already. I thought I'de share a few case prep pics.
