9th? What do you have a triple PhD? I wouldn't go higher than 6th, but maybe that's just because I only have a bachelor's.Originally Posted by Nephrology

Fairness leads to extinction much faster than harsh parameters.
I believe your profession has biased you to believe that we are all civilized. Some of us are less civilized than people expect. And the world tends to be much smaller than they expect as well.
You just need some p-dog therapy, that's all and I happen to know a guy...
Well, there went MY coffee!!
Perfect! I have a co-worker who lives and dies on the "Comments" section of just about anything. He will have a side dish - thanks, Sidheshooter.
I'm as "cis male" as they come. I have attended exactly two competitive pistol matches in my life. I was treated like shit at both of them, despite (or perhaps because) shooting quite well.
I can only imagine what a capable woman would endure from those dickheads.

well, I am an MD-PhD student, which required being able to spell my own name and refraining from farting loudly during my interview. It was a small miracle that I made it.
really? I've shot IDPA +/- USPSA in 3 different CONUS timezones and, with a minor exception of my experience at TCGC in Oregon, it was very collegial and highly enjoyable. Especially in MN. Clubhouse with cheeseburgers and beer after every match? Yes please.
It's really funny you should mention that.
In all fairness to the people at Tri-County, this was well over 10 years ago, and more a reflection of the people running the matches than the facility.
I really should give it another go. Back then I lived very close to TCGC, so I was bummed. I had plenty of free time, but was so broke I laboriously reloaded on a Lee single stage press c-clamped to my kitchen table.
Now I've got quite a bit more money, but much less time and I'm 32 miles from the closest Starbucks. I'll have to see what Washington state has to offer though.

Jesus, complete with the obligatory 14/88, too.I hate Illinois nazis.
I recently learned that Cicero used to be the hometown of the American Nazi party before whatever reason...Jesus, complete with the obligatory 14/88, too.
Currently Cicero has the "little village" area...an enormously dense Latino population which makes me chuckle and hope that at least one nazi fuckhead blew an aneurysm when they learned that the overwhelming majority of their Illinois Vaterland speaks Spanish.
It's been a while since I lived in that area, but yeah, my experiences with the matches was kinda meh. Many were nice, but there were a few people that threw hissy fits or threw their (minimal) authority around like real assholes.
Like I said though that was an anomaly. Have always gotten along great with the majority of people I've shot matches with. Really loved my USPSA community out in MN. All great guys.
