I took out a bowling pin at 100 yards with my 1911 that way; not intentionally. I had placed the pin on the ground at 100 yds. and my ranging was off. The bullet hit about 3 feet in front of the target, but still took it down. I won $10 on that shot. No one said the bullet couldn't bounce...
Every time I wear my "Trump 2020" hat I have people come up to me and shake my hand. In a grocery store, one of the butchers walked out from behind the meat case to thank me for supporting Trump. I also have people smile and give me a nod as they walk passed me.
In Indianapolis a few decades ago, a man living in a nice neighborhood was shot and killed while standing on his ladder cleaning leaves from a gutter. No one knows for sure what happened, but his block is the dividing line in Indy between upscale houses and those that are not. Also, a young...
A guy trying to impress his girlfriend with his gun handling skills has got to be one of the most dangerous guys to be around. Whenever I see that happening, I walk to the clubhouse.
The most idiotic and also disturbing thing I ever saw at the range was when a guy was down range changing his target and his shooting buddy shot him. The guy that got shot was behind the target stand and his friend said he didn't see him. The wound was to the arm and was bleeding badly. The...
Thank you for validating my choice of a Mossberg 590 as my home defense weapon. It's loaded with 00 buck, and is within arm's reach of my bed. If someone kicks in my front door, I'm not going to try to clear the house. But if they kick-in my bedroom door, I think I'll be able to make the shot...

Our club has a very welcoming culture. We go out of our way to help new shooters. We know IDPA can be somewhat intimidating; we do what we can to keep new shooters from quitting. Our one shortcoming is being too tolerant of obnoxious behavior.
I forgot to mention one other important factor in this situation; one of the "thirtysomethings" is friends with the range owner. He is aware of the problem and doesn't consider it serious enough to eject the shooters. We are a small club, and we need his range more than he needs us. If we...
Thank you all for your responses. I didn't think it was unreasonable for me to be upset with the behavior of these two shooters. I'll give you a little more information.
The club members are mostly 65 years old and above. These two loud and obnoxious shooters are about 35. Everyone just...
Two new shooters have joined my IDPA club. During shooting competition these two members shout disparaging comments at the shooters. The club officers have not addressed this behavior. Has anyone experienced this at shooting events?
I go through a mental checklist before I leave the house: keys, wallet, comb, money, pen, phone, knife, gun, flashlight, leatherman.
The only time I forget something, is when I forget to run through the checklist.
