    I used to participate in International Defensive Pistol Association competitions. I was, honestly, terrible. I’d routinely mangle or just do an overall uninspiring job of the up close shots, and I was hardly as smooth and quick as anyone else there. I just didn’t have the money to burn through ammo and time at the range like other folks did. One time, we were doing a series of targets at thirty feet and the spirit came over me and I double tapped two of them right in the jugular notch as smooth as you like. Won’t claim it as an achievement because I can’t even remotely come close to reproducing it, I’m still not that good of a shot, and I wouldn’t have believed I was going to do it if you’d told me ahead of time. I can’t explain why or how I did it, just, idk, rolled a twenty that time I guess.

      I once fired a 22 round through the middle of a polo mint without breaking it from 25m away. I framed that shit because likewise, knew that wasn’t happening again. That’s part of the fun of the sport as a an amateur, occasionally chance does funny things.
