Default road trip

Went to an away match..OK safety brief OK stages. Friendly people- Missed my first target, then clean, clean second stage. Some guy with a bad rifle, stayed on line. Then his son same same. Half hour between stage 2&3 while they worked on the rifle.. same same third stage. My turn..pistols. One hit two hit...gun breaks- hammer trigger locked up removed cylinder to clear weapon.

Boy am I bummed. Off to my gunsmith on Monday

To paraphrase an old saying "if it has t**s or boolits, it's gonna cost you money". Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
