Major match, stage 1 DQ

[James Peel]

I earned my first DQ in grand fashion last Friday at Tx Multigun on stage 1, nice and early.

If you watch some of the vids that are posted you'll see a staging/dump barrel right beside the stage gun table. I staged the shotgun in the barrel because we were told to, as I recall, and when I grabbed the shotgun I instinctively took a step forward when racking the bolt and tossing in a couple of shells. That would have been fine except when I finished with the shotgun I turned and dumped back into the barrel which is now about 3 feet behind me. RO yells STOP and I'm done for the match.

So the moral of the story is: don't be stupid and move forward when your game plan is to ground the gun in the same barrel it was staged in.

It didn't happen unless there is video.

Sucks James, but all you can do is learn and move on! Enjoyed shooting with you guys last weekend!

I started to send it to you Friday night, but after watching it the third time I hit delete....

I could just hear you say " what the hell?...."
Yeah Austin, that's one I'm not likely to repeat.

Dq's are learning experiences. Not only for the shooter.
