I feel pretty stupid

I had 2 rookie mistakes on one bird at the Mass State Trap shoot ( and I'm no rookie).

Called for the bird, SH!T safety on! That was the first mistake.

Took off the safety, tried to get the bird way the hell out there. "Lost!" That was the second mistake.

Should have taken it as a Failure to Fire (no penalty, you get two), and called for another bird. (statisitcally, I have about a 90% chance of breaking it)

An expert is a person that's made every mistake in a given field.

I guess I have small shirt sleeves :)

I just put ten rds on a SR taget and my zero hasn't changed at 200yds. I'm surprised; thought it might be printing a little low. I'm going to have to shoot the squadded practice on Sunday to check my 300 & 600.

Charlie; short sleeve or long? Never mind; I don't want to know.

I pull mine out of the case a few minutes ago, and sure enough; front sight is wobbling around like a dick in a shirtsleeve. Set screw is almost all the way out. I changed out the front sight to a wider one back in late May and must have just omitted that part of re-assembly. What a dumb-ass.

As far as excuses go that one's just a tiny bit better than "the sun was in my eye."

That hurts, jason.
