the long drive...
Just like I've been practicing to shoot better for the match on Sunday as well. Rounds are marked, gun cleaned, belt/holster ready, mags are cleaned. I load up the coffee, thermos of hot soup, water, and extra warm clothes for the USPSA match in Bremerton, WA-easily 2.5 hours away one winters day. The drive is uneventful, scenic and quite serene and couldn't have been a better start to the day until I pay my dues, scoresheets, and start to holster up. Load the mags, listen to the shooters briefing head to our ranges and safe area-except, where's the dagnabit blaster???! I go into panic mode and tear the car trunk apart until I remembered taking the afterthought to pull the gun out of the bag at 9pm and clean my fiberoptic front sight! I'd left in on the counter thinking I'd see it on the way out.
