h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ahh...
Standard NSRA 25-yard competition card, .22 calibre. I don't mind which way you count.

¦M¦

.22. *chuckles*

What d'you usually get?

Well.. if I get below 95 it irritates me. I seem to spend a lot of time being irritated... I don't know what my verage is though... it was calculated before I started competitions in the autumn, but it was 85.20 , which is why I did so well in competitions.

¦M¦

Ah. Last time I went shooting, I hit 98, the time before that slightly more. This isn't bad for someone who shoots .22 once in a blue moon, I think.

5.56, by contrast, is another matter. I've shot a lot of 5.56.

*jealous*

Still, I have only been shooting for a year... that's my excuse.

¦M¦

In my life, I've shot a sum total of about 65 .22 rounds.

*sigh* I knew you'd wreck it.

¦M¦

Lisa (poet) just said.. "you're mean. You wrecked it"

I then said "Do you even know what I wrecked"... "no"



Sorry anyway.





- Njan.

Yeah, you're mean!
Bah, you're not sorry!



¦M¦

awww.

I'd be happy to pass on some tricks of the trade. ... we sni.. I mean, we target shooters () must stick together



How are you, anyway?

Go on then, tricks of the trade...

I'm OK, actually. Which is somewhat surprising as I got up at 5am this morning...

¦M¦

bring a .22 rifle along to the next meetup we're at (or, failing that, a broomstick), and we'll drunkenly talk about them then, I'm sure. (or not)

.. good. Glad to hear it. YEEP! .. are you alright?

Right, broomstick... You ARE going to the Reading meet! *glare*
As for the drunken bit... I don't actually like alcohol...

I am alright, yes. Very strange. Can't figure that out, I ought to be tired...

¦M¦

.. actually, I was kidding. I couldn't teach shooting in a million years.. it's something I do intuitively.. I wasn't taught how I shoot (every time anyone attempted to teach me the principles of shooting, I listened carefully and then shot in whatever way felt comfortable )

Still. I could try. *scratches head*

.. good! Glad to hear it! ... Ooh.. odd. Coffee to blame?

Is it me, or is peer review increasingly feeling like somewhere people go just to take digs at other people?

Ah well.
That's almost what I do... except I was taught the basics, like 'elbow there, hand there, knee there, other knee there, no, you've got that all wrong...' Apparantly I got the hang of it almost naturally anyway.

No... I don't like coffee either...

Dunno, I hardly ever wander by... I should, really.

¦M¦

.. I see.

*shock*.. no.. ? (no coffee no workee.. hehe)

hmm. Apologies. I'm a bit miffed at the peer review forum for one of my articles, where my "peers" seem to be doing just that.

Yeah, a lot of people seem surprised by that... especially when I follow it up by mentioning my dislikes for tea and alcohol...

Ahh... oh dear...

¦M¦

Ah. So.. what'd you do at an h2g2 meetup?

Thankyou!

Well, I sat around being very quiet and generally overwhelmed by it all.

'Sok.

¦M¦

Ah.

(and you signed our card. )

Didn't you talk to people?

.. *enjoys hugs muchly*
