    I took my 9 year old to the range, she was quite good, but when she missed a close knock down she complained that she had an itch on her bum which put her off.

    "I didn't get enough sleep"

    "I had too much caffeine"

    "It's too bright out"
    If you are already aiming for the exact center of everything, then the target’s size shouldn’t matter — the center of a beach ball is just as big as the center of an aspirin tablet. -Byron Ferguson

    At the AGF meets we have a trophy for the best excuse every year but last year, following the HFT event we heard the best/worst excuse for a poor score ever.

    "it was a right handed course"

    Welcome to the forum-

    Would your daughter mind if I used her excuse? When I'm shooting badly? Heard all the others so nice to get a new one to cover my rubbish my shooting ability!

    I don't have any excuses, if I'm shooting crap then I'm shooting crap, simple as, it don't happen very often though...

    Ps, I don't shoot with other shooters so the only person I'd be bullshitting is myself so it would be a fairly pointless exercise really...
