Author Topic: Clean Matches - how many for you? (Read 634 times)

In November, 2002 - I shot a Clean Match.....something that never even crossed my mind before that! Since then I have shot 4 more (seems that I woke up one day and started seein' targets.....)!

When did it happen for you? And how many since then? Just curious....this is not a competition for the most "Clean Matches". This one of those things that I never thought I would achieve in CAS - again, proof positive that even a blind squirrel can find an acorn once in awhile ....

Howdy,

I'm still looking for my first clean match. I get a stage or two or even three, but not a match, yet.

Adios,

Had my one and only last month. The way I shoot I figure it will probably be my last but no matter, the fun is still there.

I had my first clean match a couple of months ago. :-D

It took me three years to get it! :eek:

I just hope that it won't be another three years before I have another one. :roll:

Ya did pretty good with those Remmies at the Great Northern Bear. I ain't got no clean matches yet. Them danged shotgun knockdowns what don't fall over like their sposed to always mess it up. Iffn' I had a long barreled shotgun I'd just reach on out there an push em over whilst hidin in that cloud of BP smoke an the RO wouldn't be none the wiser :roll:

Goatlips swore never to divulge the origin of his moniker until he shot a clean match which he knew he never could. Last fall he was wrong again: :oops:

Shot a clean match a month ago. I have had a lot of matches where I had 1 miss. I really like hitting the targets. Whena pard gets a clean match , there ought to be a bonus in it for him.

My next clean match will make a total of one for me. Guess that comes natural, since my mom never thought I kept a clean room, either. Come to think of it, clean hands and a clean mind were also high on her list. About resigned to being a clean failure.

Well, I hate to admit it but I got 5 so far. Course I been doing this for almost 11yrs. My first was in 95 shooting BP for the 3rd time. Been told that ya can't shoot a "clean match" using BP. :roll: :wink: All it takes is luck and the right wind direction. :wink:

I helped found our club over 15 years ago and have yet to shoot one of those clean matchs. :cry: :grin:

Been having too much fun shooting BP making noise n smoke. :wink:

I have never even come close, but I have shot on posses with pards that have and I think that is a heck of an achievement.
Lately Durde Dugan not only shot a clean match, but won his class and I do believe overall too. Now, that is my goal, should I live that long to pull it off.
The fun part is trying to do it.

The world has yet to design a target large enuff 'n close enuff that I cannot miss it! :oops:

Ya know what? Ah don care, Ah'm havin too much fun! :-D

:-D

Hellfire - very impressive!!! :grin:

Cuts Crooked - I have to agree with you; no target is too close or too big!! Enjoyment is the name of the game. I found that when I shot a 'Clean Un', my time was gauged with an hour-glass and Surprised? Was I ever surprised!!!!.....made me grin for a week! Then I promptly went out and had a gun full of misses at the next one......
