evil dogooder Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I screwed up. I went and ended up with a clean match. The last two stages you could take a nap between shots I was so slow. Now back to shooting fast and missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Congratulations! I often screw up early so I don't have to worry about it the rest of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I think it took me 10 or 12 years for my 1st clean. And if I remember correctly, it was at the Georgia State, 10 stages. I was forever on the last stage making sure ALL my shots connected, although I almost missed my last rifle shot. Congratulations. More will come! ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 My first clean match was End of the Trail 2016. My second clean match was the Hellfire at Barrister's Junction, two months ago. I was very happy to get both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I broke a lifetime streak today, and put the rifle trigger through my finger. I don't think I want to do that ever again. It hurts. And causes a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a pitcher has a no-hitter or a perfect game going, that fact is not mentioned in the dugout within earshot of the pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoken D Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Well, you could do like me. Haven't had a clean match in many a year. So, at this years State Black Powder Match last weekend, I shot the two day match clean, but, and I say but, on the next to last stage just before the buzzer I changed my mind how I was going to shoot the sequence and sure enough, a "P". So, no real clean match for me. Sure would have liked to of had that clean match for the State Shoot. Gosh darn stuuupid brain fart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I've had a few clean this year, it's always pretty cool when that happens!! I've never had a clean at a BIG match just at a few locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Bruce Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I shot my last match clean (also my first match shooting duelist) On the last stage I took my time and made sure every bullet was going into a target. At the end of the stage, the T.O. commented on how slow I shot that stage. I told him I wasn't about to blow my clean match! He shot the stage in 41.67 I shoot it 39.72...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
