MMJ#89586 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I've had to wait almost a year and I finally made it to my first shoot. Had a great time, and found out that I have a lot to learn. Met a lot of great folks and can't wait for my next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMJ#89586 Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 I shot in evansdale Iowa, a really nice range. The #1 thing I learned was a stock stoeger will not compete for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perro Del Diablo Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I've been shooting about a year now bought my second stoeger went from store to gunsmith. This was a week before my first annual match I had only shot in club matches. Along with the stoeger I had just bought a Marlin 94 both guns I got from my smith the morning of match. Now I need some new guns because my wife has claimed em Wildman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosey West Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I enjoyed having you on my posse MMJ. The very first shoot is always the one that's good to have behind you. It's nothing more than jitters and we all had to do it. So glad you had a good time and looking forward to shooting with you again.

Perro Del Diablo Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Well my first set was stoeger coach and puns 92 claimed by my daughter who beat me last time she shot so got the second set now my wife claimed them. We all took a intro class last year and that's what got us started. The benifit aside from quality time with my family is an excuse to get a ttn and a 73. Mean while my son will probably be shooting buckaroo in a year or two. Down fall lot of pesos for gear. Glad I have my Dillon. Wildman Ps.introduce a new shooter the reward is great on both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt Jen Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I've had to wait almost a year and I finally made it to my first shoot. Had a great time, and found out that I have a lot to learn. Met a lot of great folks and can't wait for my next one! Oh, my. I remember my first match. The indians had left us alone for the better part of a year, the blacksmith got around to making us some steel-plate targets, and the stage finally brought me my brand new muskets. It was a grand day. A long time ago. Aunt Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
