5 years to shoot one card...!

#1 Post by TattooedGun »

Prone, Target Rifle, Sling / Bondage Jacket and Dioptre Sights.

It's taken me 5 years but last night I finally got a possible.

Yes I look goofy, don't care...

Very close to being a 'Ten-Ex' Poss, I may have even clipped the one spot that's not totally gone.

Chuffed.

Let's hope the next one doesn't take 5 years...

Well done :). Nice Anschutz as well. When I shot my first 'possible' several more quickly followed so it won't be another 5!years I'm sure.

Thanks Rob!

I've had 5/6 99's and always known it was possible for me, I just always had something making me miss.

I put up my first card last night and the first half of the card were 5 dead centre, I moved on to the second half of the card and psyched myself out, and tensed up.

The second card I just got down and relaxed and did the same as the first half of that first card, and reminded myself to calm the f down to do the second half....

It took everything in me not to party on the firing point whilst others were still shooting competition cards...! haha.

Waaaaahooo... That is very very impressive :o Congrats Cave man :good:

Yes I look goofy, no you don't but you do indeed look scaringly possessed ... By the way ... going by the flare on your pants, the chap on the pic is not you but must be your dad back in 1976 ?
