OK, I love my Steyr M40. But in the back of my mind, I always wondered if I should have bought an HK, because my friend's HK shoots really tight 2-3" clusters all the time, while I with my Steyr, shoot 4-5 inches on average.

Well, I just broke up with my girlfriend of 6 years.

My average cluster size now, 2"!! 3 shot groups, I've had 1" or so!

Question, is it the fact that I figured out how to shoot, have more time to actually practice shooting, or the fact that I'm single again?

I shoot just as much as I did when I had a gf, the only factor I can think of is the gf part.

Anybody else, make this discovery? And the biggest question is, if I find another gf later, is my cluster size gonna open up now??

Bacholars and Married guys, give me the inside skinny on this!!

When you look at the target, do you see your ex-girlfriend's face in your mind? That may account for the accuracy.

Also, maybe you are more "keyed up" when shooting, since without the girlfriend you aren't periodically "getting rid of tension". :)
 
We are on good terms... That was, until yesterday!!

I took a date out for breakfast, and guess who was two tables over, with a date of her own?

I'm much more relaxed of a shooter now, I guess it was the tension caused by the ex.

I use to go to relieve stress, now I go for fun. I think that might be the difference.

Easier to shoot while NOT listening to "mememememememememe........." "I want a new car, new jewelry, new clothes, and a vacation, mememememe......" AAAARGH!

Now you can enjoy your guns in silence. Enjoy before you go and get married or something.
 
I actually shoot better since I got engaged! My mind is very clear when I shoot now since I have a great girl and I don't have to hear all that "memememememememe" stuff that comes with some of them! She said to me the other day, "I can't wait to shoot your new CZ!" lol :)
 
I broke up with my gf, and got a new one the next day. "Betty" My M1A!! :-)

Reasons why an M1A is better than a girlfriend:

1) Costs less
2) Lower total cost of ownership
3) Lower maintenance costs
4) No monthly payments
5) Will eat anything and not get fat!
6) Is generally not picky about what you feed her
7) Does not get "jealous" when you spend time with other guns
8) Is dependable, regardless of time of the month
9) Will look just as good 20 years from now
10) Does not need to go shoe shopping
11) Does not ask you if the sling it's wearing makes it look "fat"
12) Does not ask you to learn to say "I love you" in 48 languages, including the ones with the click and whirl noises..
13) You can ask her to "put out" every night, and she will without complaint! heck, she'll put out on the first date!
14) M1A's don't know what a "headache" is
15) Caressing one that is less than 18 years old won't land you in jail
16) M1A's don't have "self esteem" issues
17) An M1A won't complain about feeling "used" when you use her and go to sleep afterwards
18) No "cuddling time" required after usage, ever..
19) Won't make you give up sports on TV to watch the new episode of "Friends".
20) The only weight it ever gains, is in the form of a scope!

:D

Albert. Anybody have any other ones??
 
Girlfriends cause unecessary stress and muscle tension. Now that you're "free" you'll find that you're shooting better. There's a lesson in here somewhere.
