Well, I've read about it here and so I'm-a-Gonna try it tonight in Ft. Worth.

I've studied the rules and I can see only one weakness for me: Off hand shooting in stage 5.

I've never shot offhand in my life! Not once! :shock:

Wish me luck.

Hey Russ!

It was good to see you at the Shooting Gallery tonight. We had some pretty exciting stages including one in near total darkness with the targets covered in black trash bags. :shock:

I was the guy with the SW wheelgun. :grin:
Looking fwd to seeing you at the next match.

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

oooooooohhhh.....dark with trash bags! I wanna play! So tell us...what did you think about it? I found that it is most likely as addictive as cocaine.

It was great meeting all the guys, and I had a blast! :lol:

Boy, did I blow that one with the black trash bags! :shock:

It was my first of the four, and I kept gettin' better. Next time I can (and will) do better.

I'll bring the extra stuff we talked about then.
