the masters (idpa) lessons learned

[RWF]

well where do i start. hmm, the night before the match i am trying to get my mag well on and having trouble, so went back to my tryed and true ways got a bigger hammer. then the wife and i load up mags and put our things into our range bags. then i said i am putting the guns in the car. what i should have said is i am putting the gun BAGS in the car. we make the 3.5 hour drive. we start getting ready and she says okay where is my gun!? i said where did you put it? she says that said i was putting the guns in car. but all i really did was put both gun bags in the car. yep you guessed it she was very pissed. i said sorry and that could share my gun, well that did not over very well.

but she always packs her EMP locked and cocked with 2 extra mags. and she choose to use it so she shoots a major match with a bug gun. as most know a tight 1911 needs lube and at about the 200 round mark with her getting tired and the dry gun she started to have issues. it been about 2 months since it lubed to i am sure it was dry to start with

oh what fun when you know it is all my fault.

so being the great husband i am threw the match so i would win after leaving her gun in the safe.

also she asked why i was telling everyone what i did, and i told her if everyone knows about it i have better chance of waking up tomorrow.

That sounds like something I'd do. Did that hunting once but I forgot the ammo instead of the firearm. You just got to have a good laugh after you beat your head against the truck. The good thing is my wife doesn't hunt with me. Good for you Wanda for carrying on with the match.

I think Wanda shot great and also I bet Robert does the cooking and dishes for awhile. I always said all mistakes cost ya some more than others. It was a pleasure shooting with both of you. Maybe we'll see everyone at Manchester in a couple weeks.

I don't let Robert cook. It was fun in it's own way. Disher washer is safer. Now I will have him build me a new rifle with the pink Tapco Intrafuse 10/22 Rifle System I won off the prize table. If I see pink then I will know my gun is coming too.

Agreed. In the last three years, I've changed jobs and gained 15 pounds. It shows in these videos (at least to me).

[CatsEye]

Video looks good.
