Ask the semi-pro

[Scott Hearn]

Semi-Pros

Q1: Do you feel that facial hair influences your shooting?

Q2: Do you feel that a particular type of mustache is better than the others when it comes to shooting?

Q3: Are any of you going to grow/alter facial hair for more power in the upcoming months?

With many thanks,
GT

GT it's not the facial hair that does it. If it were Curly and Rusty would be able to kick Chuck Norris' mama's ass. Everybody knows that she's the only one who can.

Semi Pro's at a match today I was told by a top SP to not shoot the stage like a cat lady which i promptly did. Please watch my video and tell me what I did wrong. Was my hair and/or sunglasses OK?

Now Jesse just gave us a possible hint. One thing I know, it's not facial hair or tats. Or is that two things? Cranial hair and sunglasses? Hmmm... :crazy:

As a long term semi-pro I have seen many avant garde methods of transitioning to irons, but this one was truly unique. As a part of a truly academic discussion I thought I would ask my fellow esteemed peers their opinion, in addition do most of you only use the rear sight once the transition to irons is complete.

Brings new meaning to "flip off scope mount"... were can I buy that?

Thanks Semi-pros!

When transitioning to the flip up irons the shooter says "I can't get it up". Was he referring to the back up sights or was that a personal confession about his sex life with the RO's? Either way can the Semi Pro's give me some advice on "getting it up" in regards to both topics.

Is the awesomeness of your fingerless gloves directly proportional to how awesome of a shot you are?

That was epic. I had more fun watching Chad shoot than I did anyone else. The Turkey load on stage 8 was pretty epic too. Who has video of that???

He had drank quite a bit that weekend and it did seem like before he shot he had something on his mind

On a side note I moved this thread to the Match Talk forum as its all about shooting.

Dear Semi-Pro's,
Can you list of a few excuses I might use to keep from getting DQ'd when I AD one over the berm??

Say " but the shot went more than 3 meters in front of me?"

Tell the RO you are shooting at a target on the next bay. Only a Semi-Pro can hit a target that he can't see AND while doing a reload!

Ok we seem to be blessed with a lot of great Semi Pro's on this site. Would it be possible to get some pictures of your semi Pro Catd and a profile pic do we can make sure everyone is legit and that they have a good Semi Pro Approved picture on file for certifying guns gear and advice as officially SP approved?

 

[jtischauser]

I was also wondering if the Semi Pro's will be coming out with any clothing? I hate to see new Shootets wearing ragtag duds at local matches.

I've only been to one 3-gun match, But...I Thought the guys in the Rag Tag Clothes were the Semi-Pros...

 

[Strokin04]

There is nothing rag tag about a black t-shirt and camo shorts, consider it a uniform.

I'll have to cut off some of my pants... I already have a black shirt. Could I be an SP then??

 

[Chambers]

No.

I believe Jake is prototyping a jersey. Here's a sneak peek:
