Overheard...

:bigear:...at the local Rod & Gun club range during a qualifier not too long ago:

"He couldn't hit sand if he fell off of a camel in the desert."

(and no, while I know the both the speaker and the spoken-of, I'm not going to name names and get myself into trouble. :mrgreen:)

All guns have at least two safeties. One's digital, one's cognitive. In other words - keep the digit off the trigger until ready to fire, and THINK. Some guns also have mechanical safeties on top of those. But if the first two don't work, the mechanical ones aren't guaranteed. - me

I remember when I first got my Peltor electronic earmuffs, ohhh the things I heard people say when they thought nobody could hear. :lol:
Now while I'm shooting I turn them off because I got tired of hearing critiques while I was in the middle of a stage.
I am scared of empty guns and keep mine loaded at all times. The family knows the guns are loaded and treats them with respect. Loaded guns cause few accidents; empty guns kill people every year. -Elmer Keith. 1961

I also turn off my muffs. I once heard, "Man, look at the fat boy run!" LOL.......off they go before the guns gets loaded.

I have forgotten to turn them back on a couple of times...makes it very interesting if I become the score keeper and just can't hear the times! :oops:
