Had a long chat with a real old buddy tonight .. used to shoot together a lot. Of course, we reminisced ... severely!
Got on to the subject of funny things at the old club range .. and thus embarrassing moments. He related how on a compo day he chose to bring a whole box of homeloads ... with no powder in!!! (I well remember) He scored real bad initially until he had cleared stoppages and ''begged'' some ammo (useable stuff) from someone else.!
He then reminded me of my two (main) ''faux pas'' incidents. One was arriving for a full blown compo shoot ... with many, many visitors .... only to find as we set up for the shoot proper that I had not a single mag for any of my semi's ... and as the other guys needed theirs I was in a tight spot. Believe it or not .... one of the ''opposition'' guys loaned me some of his and so I got to compete. RED face time!! More so cos ... with borrowed mags, I whopped his a$$!
The other of mine was ..... hardly uncommon in fact, as others had done it .... shooting my whole course of fire on the wrong target! DUH!! Did not do a lot for the home team score!!!
What ''bloopers'' have you had ... where you'd have rather crawled into an empty shell case and hidden away for rest of the day!
