We woke up at 7:30, did the pet stuff and had breakfast. It was a little early to go to the shoot, so we killed time surfing. We left just about 8:30 and got there in 5 minutes.
We signed in and had a donut. Then we went down to watch them teach the newbies. It was kind of fun. Bobby is a card when he's working with them.
About 9:45 mark started is safety speech. Then they passed out the clipboards and we went to the starting station. I'm glad we had a cart. I'd taken Tylenol, but it wasn't helping a lot.
Our squad had 5 people. Two of them were new shooters. The other had shot some and was maybe a B shooter. The day was cloudy with a little wind. That made it comfortable. The course was pretty easy except for 2 or three challenging stations. One good thing was that we got to shoot the flurry twice. It was a team event. I wish we'd had more good shooters.
Lunch after the shoot was pretty good - brisket, potato salad, and banana pudding. After that was the usual drawing. We won this big Yeti style ice chest. Fortunately they're going to ship it to us. There's no way we could fit it in the trailer.
I topped off the truck tank on the way home, 2.5 gallons. That should give me plenty to get to Midland tomorrow with no stop and no worries. When we got home I drained the tanks. The gray tanks had a lot more water in them than I expected.
The rest of the afternoon and evening was surfing. Ellen fixed pork chops for dinner. I'm not planning on getting up really early tomorrow. It's only 250 miles to Midland.
