An Excerpt From My Day

The scene – A chilly, misty late morning in Kentucky.  Our hero is shooting his first action pistol competition ever, and after a rough start on the first couple of stages, is starting to do better.  His greatest accomplishment so far is to not get disqualified.  Since it is raining out, the stages are almost exclusively steel targets.  Our hero has never shot his carry pistol at steel before.

Here are the sounds for the second to last stage:

Beep

Bang! Ding! Thud!

Bang! Bang! Ding! Thud!

Bang! Ding! Bang! Bang! Ding! Bang! Ding! Bang! Ding! Why won’t that damned thing fall!  Thud!

Bang! Ding!

 

Yeah, next time I’m taking the .45 or the .357.

    Those dirty rotten steels. I hate them with a passion. My most humiliating shooting experience to date involved an IDPA stage with 5 steel targets in a line. Four went down as fast as I could pull the trigger. Bang, bang, bang, bang. The fifth one mocked me. I swear there was a hole in it swallowing rounds left and right. I was almost to gre point of kicking the damn thing over when I finally nailed it.
