Semi Pro

Shot a local USPSA match. One shooter had 5 mikes on a stage. Another new shooter was hanging back while we were taping. I threw him a roll of tape and asked him to make sure we got all the mikes. It was hard not to laugh when he walked all the targets looking for something to tape.

Semi Pro Tip #476

Always volunteer to tape mikes and reset reactive steel!!! Wish I would have known that one 3 years ago.

Too funny. Also, once again another excellent semi-pro tip

 

[bsdubois00]

We need a sticky of semi pro tips. Who wants to go trough all 19 pages and consolidate them?

Here is one more from Sunday.

Newish female shooter is trying out Limited guns - a 5" Dawson 2011 and a 6" Triangle Fat Free. She shot a match the day before with Benny's gun and tells me, "I think I prefer the 6" when compared to the 5." I replied, "Most women do."

 

[45recoil]

But the 6 incher was fat free?

 

[jtischauser]

There are so many jokes there I can hardly help myself!

My wife prefers the 4.25, but complains of the width in her hands :O

 

[mike cyrwus]

shes holding it the wrong way

 

[wchandler]

I heard a semi pro give a tip the other day to a junior shooter.

Semi pro, "You want to hear a semi pro tip?"
Junior shooter, "Sure!!!"
Semi pro, "Don't get fat..."

Just missed an epic Semi Pro quote on this video. I rip through the last of that belt and Burki yells "Get Some!" The Red Jacket dude mistakes it for "cease fire." Burki's next line was "No, Get Some! It's the like the polar opposite of Cease Fire". Thanks for stopping the video too soon, West.

Just wait until I get on the TV squad someday.......

 

[jtischauser]

West is no semi pro that's for sure.

 

[wchandler]

Sorry Ryan. I didn't know that semi pro gold was about to happen. I did like how Jake called you a quitter after the first burst. You were supposed to dump the whole belt.

What is it going to take to get a camera crew to follow the semi pros for the entire match including the after match festivities?

You could hire a professional videographer for a couple of grand,...
or
You could Probably get a semi-pro wannabe to do it for free, but the camera work will probably suffer because of the nervousness and shaking.

Semi-Pro Reality show?

 

[RyanReed]

I liked the quitter comment. That damn thing had a 1" scope mount just in front of the rear sight - shooting front sight only. Dead battery on an EoTech - that never happens...

To get the Semi's on TV, 3GN would have to move to HBO or Cinemax for the show to last longer than 5 minutes. Lots of bleeps and pixel covered body parts.

Make some calls Jesse

Know the following terminology:

Abe Lincoln
Afghani gas mask
Rusty hook
Jersey turnpike
