Nothing like getting beat by your own gun.

Yep, it happened again on Thursday night. Our local club is a "black plastic and velcro" club with some bullseye pistol thrown in for good measure. Several times during the summer, we do bow to the "old" school and shoot something other than the "Now Normal". Thursday was a non-standard pistol and lever gun silhouette match. 20 targets. They are run side by side so that we have eight shooters on the line at a time. Few of the guys have a lever gun, so I bring a couple and ammo for those that are lever gun impaired. This time I brought two 86's, a 92, and a 94. I shot the pistol match first scoring a 14/20 using my Bullseye Kimber with an aimpoint. I then loaned it to one of the shooters whose pistol let him down. He shot a 13/20 almost beating me with my pistol and ammo. I then opened the lever gun side and assisted those that needed a rifle/ammo to play. Seemed like I was constantly setting sights and getting someone ready to shoot. The same shooter that almost beat me with my pistol, now borrowed my 92 Winchester rifle in 44/40 and proceeded to hit 17/20 with it. Several relays later, I got to shoot and since my 94 was being shot by another, I also shot the 92. I had a 12 going to rams at 200 yards. Had to run them. The first four fell, but yep, I choked and missed the last one. 16/20 and the shooter that was shooting my 94 also shot a 16/20 with the tie/breaker going to him. Beat by two of my own rifles. Oh the agony!!!
The moral: If you let them, they will beat you.
