Newbie here...

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum, but a lifelong shooter and long time member of a few other boards. Just took my CHL class last month and am currently in the dreaded waiting room :waiting:

Anyway, I had an interesting qualification day to say the least: We met at the range on a Saturday morning before class, so everyone was still kind of waking up. I volunteered to be in the first relay so I could have time to grab breakfast on the way back to class. Right as we're lining up, loading up, and getting ready to sling lead, a stray cat walks down the side of the line and starts heading in our general direction. Then, as the instructor gets on the PA and is calling out the first stage of fire, the critter JUMPS ON THE BERM IN FRONT OF THE TARGETS :shock: Everybody sees the furball and goes back to low-ready, but the instructor just says "go ahead and shoot, he'll move"(?!) Several people still hesitated, and it's a good thing I did because he was right in front of my silhouette when the shootin' started :fire I've never seen a cat jump so high or run so fast; he climbed the nearly vertical backstop with rounds impacting all around him. Someone give that kitty a combat action ribbon :smilelol5:

Other than some guy with an el-junko 1911 that jammed every other shot, the rest of the day was uneventful.

See ya'll around the forum!
