I'm kind of wondering the last time that scale got checked... I know my rig is considerably under the limit, but Earl had to lift the beam off the bottom to make sure because it wasn't even registering...
As mentioned, 20-40% chance of showers all week. Friday finally looks like decent weather (with 15-20 mph winds) for the rest of the weekend. Guess they should have left the dates the way they are supposed to be (Thursday 600, Friday 1000, Saturday team, Sunday 1000) rather than try to bump things up to accomodate that WI state team match...
I figure my stuff (and me) has gotten wet before, and will dry out again. I don't mind tearing everything apart to clean/de-rust-ify when I get home, but the match stopping/starting again bit drives me batty.

I met Aj300MAG today, and we had a great time trading stories and talking about you.
Today was the 600yard match and it was a little tricky with the wind, the hailstorm and the tornado that blew through.
Tomorrow, we shoot the first part of the 1000 yard program.
Mike from Tactical Intervention has not been identified by us so far.

Today was much nicer than yesterday but the conditions were very tricky. I find that conditions can change VERY quickly here. Very quickly.

No sling? What part of "F-CLASS NATIONALS" escaped you?
Almost finished the team match today. They cancelled during the last relay due to water from above.

How about that wind? I shot a pretty low score at 1000 and felt bad until I saw all the other F-T/R scores from the first match. What team were you on today?

I was on Development Team #2, with Mike Miller. He's a super guy and a great shooter. I had an absolutely great time, including wind, rain, hail and meteorites.

denys, come to think of it in that photo it doesn't look at all like you in the white shirt. I don't see sweat pools and stains all over the place...
Tried to rain here again today... started 3 more fires is about all it did though...
Sick of seeing helo's and air tankers all the time by now.... 90th day of over 100, 157th day over 90.... 20 inches in the hole for rain plus... tanks about dry. Cows have no feed. lots of folks hay burned up literally 3 weeks ago....
have fun! Shooting has to be better than this even if you head up the low man pole.

Jeff, I hear you. Rain will come.
On the other hand, this was my first F-class nationals and I have to say, it has been an absolute blast. The level of competition if amazing, and I have had a great time meeting all the people here. I have learned a lot, and I still have a long way to go. I've had some flashes of brilliance, and some "duh" moments, but so far, I have not had the great "train wreck". The conditions have been, well, interesting and things are different here compared to Bayou. I am just amazed how quickly conditions can change hre. With no warning.
Tomorrow is the second part of the 1000 yard match and I am looking forward to it. Then on Saturday we start the long ride back to my beloved Texas, but I will remember Wisconsin fondly and when I miss it all I have to do is stick my feet in ice cold water and turn on a big fan to maximum.
