I Finished Last. But I Did Well?!?
So, to be hones, I finished this match in last place!! But, I did well, especially considering the conditions! There ended up only being 5 people show up for this match, and I finished in 5th, lol. So, definitely not my best performance on this. But, I was much more concerned with just surviving the day with my hands still attached to my arms! It was around 20 degrees. The wind chill was 9 to 17 for the most of the day. Amazing how warm 20 degrees will feel after being outside in 10 degrees for a while, lol.
I messed up early and tried to shoot the first stage with no glove on my right hand. That was not smart. I ended up getting warmed back up and put on a latex glove and then kept my right hand in a heated glove the rest of the day. I could still feel my trigger and adjust my scope with the latex glove. And it doesn't breathe, so my body heat stayed in my body!
I missed filming the first 2 stages with my main camera. It was so cold it wouldn't write to the SD card! Got some footage by the 3rd stage.
I talk about all the things I did really poorly on and I honestly should have prepared better. I really do not like the short days! I am missing all my time in the evenings to check zero, verify at distance and things like that I tend to do in the summer. So, bad preparations and miserable weather resulted in my current worse finish for this year.
I do have some new glasses coming in to try at next months' match! I am going to test those Hunter's HD Gold lenses and see if they can help me find targets. The next match will be back at the range that I struggled to find the targets at in December. Looks like this year will be only 2 ranges for the remainder of the year.
More stuff to come. Thank you all for following along!
Let me know if you have good tips to stay warm, lol. My hands are the struggle area.
Have a great rest of your day and an awesome weekend!!
