The "ME" version! GACK! My first range report (sorry, no pics).
Went shooting at the indoor range Saturday afternoon. I was shooting GPK's AR, and doing pretty well. I had grabbed a pair of eye protection, but I have a real small face, and they weren't doing a great job. Well, don't ya know I got clipped but good by a piece of brass that flew at my face, lodged under the edge of the eyewear, and hung there for a few seconds before I could secure the AR in one hand and brush it off my face. I have a real nice purple burn right under my right eye. George told me I look like a gangster chick. nice, huh? MAN DID IT HURT!!!! But I kept shooting!!! Fun time, actually! |

That happens to everyone sooner or later. I'm glad you're a good sport about it.
I'd imagine you're going to have a hard time explaining that at work though. |
|
Noone's commented so far...but a few strange glances. They probably think it's something I don't want to talk about, and it's none of their business.... lol. |
|
|
In today's world I'm not sure which is worse-- A) I got beat up and haven't called Gloria Allred. B) I got it while shooting. |
||
|
That happens to me all the time, actually. Brass always flies behind my eye protection and burns me. If I have a baseball cap on, it's worse. Can't NOT wear the eye protection, but it sucks because by the time I put my gun down and take the glasses off, the brass has had enough time resting against my skin to make a mark. The smell of burning flesh, especially mine, is not one of my favorite smells.
|
|
Well, next time I'm wearing a turtleneck, too. I had a couple that seemed hell bent on leather to get close to the "girls". |
|
|
Yeah, I've had a few fly down the ol' shirt before. Nothing like doing the 'brass dance' at the range. Owowowowowowowowow....looks like hickeys. |
||
|
THAT happened to me last time I went...rested just above the curve (that my push up bra so artfully gives me). And I was wearing a "modest" necked tee. Can't imagine what you ladies with bigger "guns" must endure. And Daisy...I am sure that little boo boo makes you even MORE endearing to GPK... |
||
|
Ya think? (yeah, I think so, too..and I didn't even cry!) |
|||
|
It must be just awful . . . |
|
|
Methinks hot brass down the shorts MAY change TBK1's tune a bit! |
||
|
It is awful, actually. People are always staring, guys won't even look at your face to talk to you, can't find cute tops that fit, bathing suits don't cover anything more than a band aid would...It's horrible. Trade me for a day, Bee, and see if you can even make it out of the house. |

I've been shooting for 40 years. Do you really think I wear stuff to the range that allows brass to enter? I watched a young guy with a pair of "Birkenstock" sandles get a piece of 9 sillimeter brass stuck against his foot--and then do a "oh shit that hurts dance"--and then drop another guy's subgun into the dirt, still "hot" (loaded). Besides, like I always say--you gotta find it first. |
|||
|
Why would I want to leave the house? |
|||
|
That's as far as I got. OH MY GOD, YOU'RE OLD!!! |
||||
|
You would have to learn to control yourself. I'm not sure about state laws, but I don't think that people look to kindly on men that walk around with their hands permanently fixed on their man-boobs. Not positive, but I hear the law varies from state to state. I hear it's worse in the north. |
||||
|
And that--is exactly why I wouldn't leave the house if I had them. Oh, I'm 46 (yup, pretty old)--but I started young (age 5). Hey! Who hid my walker? Damned smartmouth punk kids. |
|
|
WOOT! I'm going shooting with you ladies!! |
|||
|
I don't think so...we don't eat fried hush puppies drizzled with melted Hershey bars and washed down with Pabst up north...fewer men have the manboobs up here than the Carolinas or Arkansas...YMMV |

Gettin hot brass pinned inside your clothing is the main reason why I always shoot naked.
TRG |
|
Which is precisely the reason we don't come to your neck of the woods to shoot. |
|
|
Fark...she beat me to it! |
||
|
Don't knock it, until you try it. TRG |
||
|
I never knock it before I try it. Ow! <--------(Working on my 'perverted' mind so I can keep up with TBK1) |
|||
|
I'm old and slow. |
|
|
But you're a hottie, so that negates the slow. Not the old, but we can forgive the slow. |
||
|
<pouting> HEY!!!!
This thread was about ME! ME! ME! WTF happened? hijackers. The lot of ya!!!!! Carry on. Rant over. |
|
A tiny burn and she gets all whiny...paging GPK...SOMEONE needs attention! |
|
|
|
I'd suggest pics in order to get this back on track. <whistles Dixie>
|
|
GPK? |
||
|
|
Sure, I'll post pics of me shooting. Hang loose. TRG |
|
|
I don't think you should have said "hang loose." |
||
|
|
M-Frames... |
|
|
Damn, you got some balls to post that. TRG |
|||
|
Raise your hoof if ya didn't see THAT comin'! |
||||
|
<rim shot> TRG PS. </rim shot> |
|||||
|
I will not be goated into this little word game of yours, sheeple! |
||||||
|
<<GROAN>> |
|
|
I've been baaaa-d. But you love me. |
||
|
If I had your body, I wouldn't want to leave the house. Of course when you got the body back the next day I would highly suggest having it cleaned immediately. |
|||
|
And that's exactly why men don't have big boobs. Well, most of you anyway. |
||||
|
It's about how well one can hijack a thread. So far, it's going pretty good. Sorry daisy. We didn't mean to. It's PM's fault. |
