Best excuse you like to use
- Thread starter Hateful McNasty
- Start date
Usually something to do with vision, wind or pellets. Once waxed a stock for the winter months and it was slicker than running bald tires in a tropical storm. Was using a See All sight and was struggling to get decent groups... Must have been struggling to get a good sight picture (then grabbed second rifle equipped also with see all sight, first shot 9'oclock just off bull and the next 5 or 6 in a ragged hole). As of late, "I don't understand, my form is perfect so somethings wrong with that gun"
Every year now I realize a decline in my vision.. that rock steady , hawkeyed 20 year old ain't no more , that's for sure

Very few people realize how much I get paid to NOT shoot certain high dollar airguns at National competitions-the bad publicity from my last place finishes makes buying me off a good investment.

Hi Hateful,
I got an unusual one for ya…
…I go for a vision appointment every year -,was told I had Asteroid Hyalosis - I guess it was spectacular or rare enough that he called another eye doctor in to witness it.
I was blessed with 20/10 vision when younger, and distance vision remains good in to my 60s now. But… apparently Asteroid Hyalosis results in a massive amount of floaters in your vision.
I really notice it with high magnification scopes - like my 45X Sightron - which only has a tiny center dot and extremely fine crosshairs…. many of the floaters look like the target dot…
So my excuse is: “I shot at a floater”
