Thanks guys. Just got in from the long weekend. Didn't shoot the Main Event nearly as well as I should have, just had a couple bad stations on each course. First big tournament for me in nearly three years, so I'm not too upset. I shot a 49 x 50 on the 20 ga. and got beat!!! Guy from FL shot a 50.
These young guys coming into the sport are TOUGH!! Man! I was in a shoot-off yesterday afternoon for AA class in the Prelim with a young guy probably 15 yrs. old. We had tied with 89s. He shot first and broke 7 out of eight. I shot next and managed to break all 8 to win it. Then today, I had another shoot-off for HOA in the S x S with another young guy. He looked to be maybe 19 or so. We had both shot 49 x 50 on the course. He broke 5 out of 10 and I only broke 4, so he got me. I like to win, don't get me wrong, but when I lose I don't mind it nearly as bad if it is a young guy who beats me.
The temps were pretty rough. I was wearing a black "polo shirt" today and it looks like it was "tie-died" with the salt from my sweat. Fun, though. You have to enjoy competition to go through all that for three days.
Back to the farm's daily grind tomorrow morning.
