Funny shooting sayings.

And an unforegetable one by my deceased friend, MSG Frank Barnes, while shooting at the ORSA range at Oak Ridge, TN...goes like this: Deer (or turkeys) come out of the woods down range while record fire is going on, calmly foraging for food. Someone excitedly yells, "DEER, DEER DOWN RANGE!!", as if shooters would shoot at the deer and a cease fire should be called. Frank would yell back, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT...NO ONE WANTS TO LOOSE 10 POINTS".

not funny to me, more annoying.

when someone is referring to an AR-15, "custom build". not a "build" if all you did was put a few off the shelf items together.
 
Salty High Master(SHM) is coming off the 300 rapid line and Young Newbie Marksman(YNM) asks:
YNM-"How many minutes of wind did you have on?"
SHM-"4"
YNM comes off the line after his relay with a frown and says to SHM, "I put on 4 minutes of wind and shot a baseball group...IN THE 9 RING!"
SHM-"So did I."
 
Prone LR shooter is hammering 10's and X's and suddenly the target comes up and it's an 8.
Shooter-"Where did that come from?"
Scorer-"The end of your barrel."

One that I use a lot when operating a target in the pits, and all the other pullers around me are sitting down with their shooter finished, and I'm still waiting and waiting for my s-l-o-w shooter's next shots to come down; is to loudly yell down to the pit boss, "RELAY TO THE LINE...SPEED UP THE SHOOTER ON TARGET 12." I actually hear that call made back to the line on occasion!!

When someone starts bitching and moaning that this or that had kept them from cleaning a string or winning the match I reply:
"Ya, I could have won...if I'd shot better."
 
i was at a match and shooter next to me said," i have spent a lot on gear over the last year and still not winning. i am running out of excuses to tell the wife." i told him to use mine. tell her " i'm not very good."
 
"Try not to suck as much."

"sixty-two cent piece of brass is gonna ruin my life for the next 6 months."

Talking about a piece of brass that sized .004 shorter than the rest and was marked with a sharpie and shot as a fouler so it could be sized again and see if it would size right and therefore become a good piece of brass.
 
Was in a dog town with a buddy. He had several misses in a row and we were laughing about it. And just out of no were came the comment aim harder. Still laugh about that
 
Back in 2000, I was shooting the PACFLT service rifle team match. In the end we had the most X's, but we lost by 1 point.
My Senior Chief looked at me and said, 2nd place huh. Do you know what 2nd place is? Before I could reply he said. First loser!
 
A couple of us were shooting at a local public 100 yard range. After shooting several rounds I took out my rangefinder to check the target distance and found the target fence to be a several yards short of 100 yards. I asked the range master about this and he said as a result of work done to increase the size of the berm they had to move the target fence a few yards but they still called it a 100 yard range. Then he said "we were wondering if anyone would ever notice this".
 
Smallbore shooter on firing point, "I'm so nervous I can see two bubbles in my spirit level."

Shooter No 2, "That's nothing, mine's frothing!"
