I need to get out and go shooting! It has been over a month since I have made anything go boom! How did I let this happen? I have been a slack ass!
Solution: IDPA match in the very near future
Ever since I started competitive shooting there has been a part of me that wants to tell normal ranges to fuck off! I no longer look forward to shooting down a 3 foot wide alley. It sucks.
I need to go work on my form nonetheless....

B-Day Gift-Fest!
Got some badass b-day gifts!
50 cal bottle opener! Who would have thought that you could combine 2 of my favorite past times? Rednecks, thats who! They have been getting drunk and shooting since the beginning of time! But for the not so red, you can get a 50 cal cartridge that is a bottle opener. Very nice!
Shooting glasses! Scored me a nice pair of Remington amber lense shooting glasses. A welcome upgrade from the scratched beyond all get out pair of walmart specials that I am currently using.
Camo hat....Why because camo goes with everything, it even has the Panther's logo on the front surrounded by blaze orange!
Decorations were also well done by the wife, 9mm rounds with little bows tied on to them. She sure knows the way to my heart.
All around a great way to bring in the dirty 30!
Now get the fuck off my lawn!
Damn kids!

IDPA: Match day with live updates...now with results
Just got registered and getting ready to start the festivities. Wish me luck!
I am going to try live updating for the stages.
10:12 first stage begins. Dude in my squad has copious amounts of chest hair coming out of his shirt
Just shot first stage only down 1
10:42 second stage here we go
Lots of distance on this stage lets see how I do
11:00 just shot, shat the bed on movement but did good on distance
Down 21 with 1 ftn. Shitty
11:13 stage 3 looks fun
11 down pretty good stage. Having fun!
11:34 getting hot! Last stage in the sun. Here we come shade! Get some!
12:09 stage 4 lit it up! Only down 1
12:46 stage 5 down 1 still kicking ass. This is like my golf game, shoot well but blow up on 1 hole we will see if I can pull out a top score like last time
1:12 waiting on the group ahead of us to get done with the stage! Come on bitches hurry up! I got cold beer waiting on me at the casa!
1:24 still waiting.... This rest period is throwing off my game
1:52 shot last stage down 13 not horrible but not breaking any records. All around good day I'm ready for next time!
Back at Casa De Redneck and kicking back a few cold ones and try to forget that second stage and the chest hair on that wookie that happened to be in my group
Please keep in mind when judging me for the scores that this is only my 2nd match ever! So when you look at that stage 2 score...eat it!
I hit the top 5 in my group! that second stage can suck a fattie! on to the next one

IDPA addiction! noggin muffs edition!
I've got a fever! and the only prescription is more IDPA! I am jonesin' to get my ass out and go shooting!
It has been a few months since my last outing! Need to dust off the goober vest and get some rounds down range. Am I the only one that feels the need to get out and shoot ? Hell No! Do I need to stay home and spend some time with the little redneck and redneck wife? Hell Yes!
Unfortunately I can't bring the little redneck to the IDPA matches otherwise she would be there no problem.
Solution - someone please make hearing protection for a 1 yr old that they will actually keep on their noggins! That could be my million dollar idea, except for the fact that I am blabbing about it on here.
Therefore I am now trademarking the noggin-muff 1000 (for 1 yr olds), noggin muff 2000 (for 2 yr olds) etc. Don't try stealing my idea without at least throwing me a case of bud lights!
Sorry for being off topic- no I will not be going shooting this weekend - yes I am inventing noggin muffs - no you can't steal my idea.

Denver Shooting
I was going to write a piece on the shooting in Colorado. I might still. But in the mean time please head over to A response to the attack in denver .
Natalie has provided us with a well written, thought out, and relavant piece that not only applies to the shooting in Denver but all horrific situations.
Banning something does not keep bad things from happening.

Its called not being a douche
Caleb addresses reporting issues during matches
No one likes a tattle tale, especially when playing a game. Coming from a sports background, if the ref doesn't see it then it didn't happen. Coming from a golf background, call you own damn penalties...its called integrity.
Shooting sports are much more akin to golf than a normal sport, you have to call your own fouls even if the SO/RO misses it. The best part about these sports is that you learn a lot about yourself. So call the foul if you want, but if you don't you're a douche.
I wish there was a counter I could install that would register every instance of douche.

IDPA Practice
Had a great practice last night, shot -5, -12 (lost focus), and -0 to finish on a high note. This is a cool sport, I am ready for my next match, but unfortunately I have weddings for the next few weekends. July I will be on the match circuit to start working up to my classification in October.

IDPA Practice
I have my first practice session for IDPA tonight. Getting stoked to shoot some, being as I haven't been able to since my last match. I have been practicing my sight picture and reload at the house, but not quite the same as actually getting some range time in. Will update with results.
Raining here, glad the practice is indoors!

IDPA Results...
They finally posted the results for my first IDPA match....(drum roll please) I finished in the top part of my division! I am very excited about this, I would even go so far as to say I am stoked about the results. I entered into this contest just hoping to stay safe and not finish in dead last. I accomplished both of those goals and then some.
I am officially hooked, next stop sponsorships and it shall become my full time job (adios sales job!). The worst part was that the results came out last night around bedtime, which prevented me from going to sleep and then once asleep dreaming of nothing but my next match. The match in which I am hoisted on to shoulders for doing so well and a Glock (doesn't have to be Glock, I will take a sponsorship from a port-a-john company if it pays) sponsorship comes my way with a fat paycheck (adios sales job!...notice a trend?).

IDPA
Holy hell, what a good time. I shot my first IDPA match this morning, it was a great time. This was one of the most challenging and fun experiences, The people were very friendly and welcoming and the stages were pretty inventive. I didn't score too badly either. Will be getting the results in the next few days and will update. I may have a new addiction.
First IDPA Match
Got my first IDPA Match this morning, have to admit I am a little nervous, but excited as hell. Shoving some food in my belly and then I am off to the races. Will update with results.
All I am aiming for is anything above last place.

People know guns are awesome
It hasn't taken long, but people are finding out that guns are not quite as evil as they were taught in school. They actually go out and shoot them to realize that they are fun and safe. Wait...no one was injured while I was target shooting? I thought that guns kill people? That is what I was told in the news. Must be those crazy right wingers!
100 Visitors!
I have reached the pinnacle of blogging, 100 visitors. Thanks to everyone who made this possible... Miller Lite, http://thatredneckswife.blogspot.com/, and the baby (not necessarily in that order). So upon this wonderful day, I encourage you to click the ads on this site to support my blogging habit.
Thank y'all for reading my nonsense...I'm still surprised that I don't have any comments on any of my posts. Guess that means that at least 100 people agree with me.

Aussie Shooter to wear Mankini at Olypmics
Sucks for this guy! Why would you ever bet that you would wear a mankini at the Olympic opening ceremony?
Thought this was a great way to celebrate my 50th post!

Gun Toys: ATI FX45 1911
I have been looking for a 1911 for a while now, but due to budget constraints (read baby formula costs an arm and a leg). I saw a GI version of this pistol at Palmetto State Armory the other day for $399.99 and have been interested in whether or not this was a good pistol for the price.
Along comes this article from Guns.com ATI FX 45. Sounds like a decent pistol for the money.
Any one have any recommendations for or against this bad boy?
