Psychological warfare while shooting

I noticed during my first CCW qualification at an outdoor range that many of the participants looked uncomfortable shooting with a dozen others banging away in close proximity. Their accuracy was definitely affected.

My other distraction story involves pub darts. One team we played was run by a former classmate of mine. He somehow managed to fix it that I always played his wife, who had an endless selection of tight pencil skirts and heels. After watching her mince away from me to collect her darts a couple of times, I never really saw the board again the rest of the evening.

I don't like poor sports at a shooting match.

At NM High Power Rifle matches we did not allow any talking above a whisper at or near, or behind the fireing line. No smoking either. If those rules are not enforced, I will not participate.

Children should not play with real guns.

Years back we had a "All crafts" trap shoot at the Reno trap club, where we
shot for top overall score and top three teams.
Sure you wanted to win 1st place or take high gun if you could but;
being with the Ironworkers team, made it double hard, since at work we are always playing jokes on one another and trying to get "Pay backs"
and it carried over to the trap shoots, also.

We would make all kind of jestures, noises etc. to upset a shooter, it was
just our nature. This was usually "Adult" language, so no posting of the things that did take place, will be posted.
I will also note that a "Bar break" was also helping with the needling, while
we found out what our "Handicap" stations woud be.
We of course woof twist a fork in all the other teams, during this break or
buy a drink to a few of the other team members, for what ever reason.

At the end of the shoot, the top three teams won 24-18" statues for thier office
as well as a ticket raffle for two tables full of prizes, that you could look at, before hand.

A great time with fellow workers and shooters, that I enjoyed.
