Grizzly Dave Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Wow, I guess I ain't no greenhorn no more! I can relate to most of those. When you don't care what day of the month it is but know where the match is this weekend. When you answer to your alias better than your real name. When you start planning family vacations around what shoots you can attend while there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlietwogunz Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 When dr appts, weddings, birthday parties, vacations etc. are all planned around and contingent upon where you will be shooting certain weekends. And when you get a new year calendar the first thing you do is fill in all the matches you will shoot during the year and also note the long travel matches, state/regional & annual club matches. THEN you see what days are left for anything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 You have a safe for all your cowboy guns and another safe for everything else. You have to start thinking about which category you are going to shoot and which guns you will use several days before the next match. You have enough "stuff" to fully equip 3 or 4 new shooters that might show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 When your hands no longer shake before or after the stage. When you call your brother at work, ask for him by his alias and........they know who you're talking about. When pards come up and ask you "How have you been and how's your dad" and you have no idea who they are. When you've had to replace your guncart (twice) because it is just too worn out and weather beaten. When you are the only one who remembers the Air Force "missing man fly over" at Dang It Dan's 40th birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
