Dq

Is there life after a DQ?

 

[rodregier]

I've seen most return. It's a humbling moment.

 

[carlchevalier]

Humbling is putting it lightly...

depression is a normal part of the DQ process. A few don't recover but most eventually see it as a reminder. Even the best can get careless sometimes....a DQ is an integral part of what keeps the shooting sports safe.

If you haven't DQ'd, you aren't pushing hard enough.

I convinced myself that I'd quit IPSC the whole long drive home after my DQ. So ridiculous, and I still don't agree with the call.

But that lasted about a day. It's like anything else - you can't let them get you down, or to quit, or they win.

Learn from it, move on and don't repeat your mistake. No matter how good/experienced you get, you can still get DQ'd.

I've heard stories of folks who DQ'd on the first shot in a Level IV match.
That's really painful.

I hear an Oreo Blizzard makes everything better...

But more seriously though, evaluate what went wrong and what needs to be done to correct it and just keep in the game. It's disappointing to see people give up on the game after a DQ.

There are 2 distinct states of action shooters:
State #1: In waiting to be DQ'd
State # 2: Been DQ'd

Don't let one little slip up defeat you! Like was said, learn from it, shake it off as soon as you can and carry on enjoying the sport.

7.62 is right. For now, I'm in the #1 state. When it happens to me it will suck, but maybe I will be able to get over it just by knowing the hazing is over and I'm a full fledged IPSC competitor. LOL

I have heard of people DQ at Level IVs BEFORE they even fire the first shot!!

I'm going to get the T shirt and wear it to the next match

I DQ'd last year. Nothing arguable, it was completely my fault and completely justified. Also embarrassingly captured on camera the first time I bothered wearing a go pro...
Anyway, I stuck around, grabbed a patch gun and followed along with the squad. Learned from my mistake and moved on with life - I don't think anyone has mentioned it since.
