Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 1,186 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I've been playin' this here game since 2004, and the closest I've ever come to a clean match was a 4 stage warm-up a few years ago. Until this past Saturday! I finally managed to slow my trigger finger down just that tiniest little skosh that let me get the front sight on the target before the bullet started downrange! I know, I know, if yer shootin' clean ya ain't shootin' fast enough, and I keep tellin' Shot Z Lady that front sights are overrated, but this time I managed to put a whole match together and I'm braggin'!

Scarlett 820 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Congratulations! I've had two... but I do say clean matches are overrated! My first clean match was Ides of March 2 years ago in Florida. I was trying not to think about it and my hubby came to watch the last stage .. he said, "if it takes you 3 minutes to hit all the targets, that's ok! Just hit them all!" No pressure! Happy for you!!

Hoss 1,493 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Congrats! I drill out the primer pocket on a case from the match, string it on a saddle string and hang it from my cart.
