There's something about a cheerleader with a full beard that just says, "Yeah, I'm that confident."

Big Craig.... a cheerleader!!!!


I prefer my cheerleaders in petite configuration.

The Rose cheerleaders are overflowing with confidence...

WHIPPERSNAPPER! Why, you! I oughtta . . .

When I was your age, there were no girls on campus and we had to import our cheerleaders from ISU and St. Mary-of-the-Woods! You not only have girls on campus now, but I've seen with my own eyes that some of them really nice looking! Well, I am a creepy old guy who is underemployed, has no life, and lives at home with his parents at age 43, so what do I know? But I digress!

You should be proud of your cheerleaders, Mister Looks-a-gift-cheerleader-in-the-mouth! I'll brook no more of this churlish behavior from you! No, sir! Your insolence must end now!

And without facial hair.

WHIPPERSNAPPER!

You're probably right, I shouldn't complain too loud... I also shouldn't make them mad, they're a lot bigger than me!

I'm going to attend a football game this year and take the opportunity to tell them what you said on here.

Let me know where to send the flowers!

Coach,
I am bringing my wife tomorrow. Is there a problem in letting her shoot three strings and moving on to the next shooter. I only have three magazines for her pistol.
She is not coming to participate in any points race. "I" want to get her some more trigger time and practice safe gun handling, aiming and shooting under stress (albiet minimal) and just generally familiarization with her gun.
I have gotten her a permit, a gun and she SELDOM practices. not to mention she is intimidated by crowds of people and I sincerely hope she shoots tomorrow.

Michael ... what kind of gun? Maybe one of us has some spare mags she can borrow?

Not a problem. If the mags hold 10-15 it really should not be a problem to get at least four strings. Or as Joe said perhaps mags could be loaned. Bring what you have and we will make it work out. We want more people shooting these matches and more people shooting in general. It's all good.

 

[obijohn]

what mags do you need mike? if it's some i have i'll leave them at the house when i go to work and joe can pick them up.

 

[obijohn]

I'll just bet you had no idea what you were starting!!!!

knowing this bunch, i had an idea. it wouldn't surprise me to see the whole crew show up in pleated mini skirts and cropped sweaters. hehe.

+1

Let us know. There's a pretty good chance one of us has it. I've got quite a variety of stuff myself.

hey guys. I will be shooting my new PINK taurus PT111. I have only shot once and Michael is after me to get use to it so I can "protect" myself if I am not with him. I am very nervous about coming tomorrow and shooting with all you experienced shooters. I sure hope no one laughs at me (Michael says I am a big whimp). Will be an experience for me I am sure.

 

[Soundslikejosh]

Don't let the outfits scare you, MamaBryant. I am sure when you see all the gun nerds in their garb, it would be easy to feel like an outsider. However, every match you go to, there will be people who look like regulars who get up to the line and miss. To be a competitor you have to be brave enough to be willing to miss. Being a competitor does not mean you always shoot well, it just means you have the gumption to try.

Don't be nervous, Rhino is every body's favorite whipping boy.... they will hardly notice any other foils.

Best of luck to you tomorrow. A steel match can be a great way to start a new addiction.

Nobody will laugh at you. We all know what it's like to be a new shooter (wasn't so long ago for me) and it might feel like all eyes are on you... but in reality, you have nothing to worry about. Come on out and enjoy yourself.

P.S. - I don't have any Taurus mags. I've got just about everything besides that available to me.

Mags hold 12rds each.
I could possibly load mags behind the firing line to keeps things moving. we'll cross that bridge tomorrow.

I don't really want to shoot to score. I just want to shoot for the experience and to spend time with the loveable hubby

That is the best attitude you can have for your first time shooting a match. Just shoot for fun.
