USPSA Match @ ACC 2-27-2011

[mongo404]

I hope Mongo ordered the right weather. I am really looking forward to shooting next weekend. But I am not about to get cold and wet in Feb.

Ill tell you just what I told Jake HTFU ya big sissy. I did put the order in, But I highley doubt that my request will be first on the list.

 

[mongo404]

Hey Mongo you still running "coach's" points option at ACC this year? Just checking....

No Im not!! Im going to skip it this my first full year of doing this. Just want to get a good feel for how things are going to go. I want to feel out the BOD before I start making alot of changes. Dont want to step on any toes just yet!!!

I've got an inside line, I'll talk to my guy about that order.

Found some cheapo Blade tech pouches at Brownells. Should be here in time. So freakin' pumped about trying this! Don't laugh at the newb too much!
I figured I should probably shoot production, since my M&P is bone stock.

You will be fine. Everyone has to start somewhere. Stock guns can compete contrary to the rumormill.

I shoot an M&P with a few modifications. You will see a lot of M&P's, Glocks, and XDM's

I don't need to htfu. The only thing I am not classified A in is revolver.

Not like I am looking to move anything up

How many A classifiers have you shot in Production?
There is always room to HTFU.

 

[BillD]

$20 for just the classifiers, does that mean $10 for just the field courses?

If ithe weather is anything like Sun morning, my fat butt will be home in bed.

Soak your socks in gasoline!

 

[BillD]

Why would I want to spend $30, be cold and wet and know because I'm cold and wet, I'm not going to shoot particularly well and shoot 6 classifiers?

I think that scar may have done some serious damage there mister......

Apparently it doesn't matter, I will still be classed A

I will be there, well I plan on it anyway.

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life, add cold and wet and then you are just plain miserable

I know you are right...but I made the commitment and ill be there

 

[Coach]

If it is not raining, and above 29 degrees. I am going.

The "P" in USPSA stands for Practical right?

If so, in a practical world when do you get to say what the weather is when you may have to utilize your weapon?????

I may be new, wait, never shot in one of these matches, but I can talk smack with the best of them. I got some great instruction from Coach at the Intermediate class and I am going to get a classification on that weekend, even if it's a classification of "YOU SUCK"

I'm not going to worry about the weather shees. You all sound like a bunch of elite pansies!




PS what dose the "H" stand for in HTFU, I got the TFU part.

 

[BillD]

Harden
I've carried a gun for 35 years. Never even came close to a gunfight. If all you are practicing for is the "big gunfight in the sky" you are liable to be sorely disappointed in the number of gunfights you end up having.

H=Harden.

Bill is Cranky, but we still like him.

Raining and shooting at any temperature sucks. When it is cold, it sucks that much more. I hate fighting with the plastic to paste the targets

 

[HICKMAN]

It's still a game Matt, nothing more. You have military gear for the real stuff

I know we always said "if it ain't rainin, we ain't trainin"... but I'm not getting paid to do that anymore

 

[BillD]

Highpower may be your game. They will shoot that laying in puddles.

I love reading that. THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS I usually dont stand around for 5+ hours in crappy weather, for anything! So to say that I must do so to be "prepared" is BS.

I am more likely to have to use my weapon to protect myself in my bedroom at 3 AM. But you dont see many people having USPSA matches in their bedroom OR at 3AM!!! (although that could be fun)

And Bill isnt the only cranky one. I do think people like him better than me though. Must be the boots
