AzShooter Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Today was a great day for shooting. A little cold but things got better as the day progressed. Lots of shooting with more windows to shoot from, Clam shell targets, Falling plates and Texas Stars. Everybody on my squad helped with timers, tape and setting steel. My caregiver did my jobs for me and I thank her very much. On the movement stages she pushed my wheel chair from position to position as needed and was very good about getting me to the right spots to be able to hit all the targets. I almost didn't bring enough ammo. I had 24 moon clips loaded and used all but two. Not that I missed a lot but the stages were LONG. Just when I thought I was safe, the battery went out on my C-More. I should have replaced it before I left the house. They only last about a year. I turn the sight on at the beginning of matches or practice and leave it on until it's time to go home. I'm hoping I'll be able to walk during the next match. I'm building up my leg strength and endurance since I had a blood clot almost a year ago. I'll try a walker at the next match in two months.

What a gamer! In all seriousness, it's great to see someone out to do what they can just because they love the sport. Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecmc Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 What's considered cold out there in the desert ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 It's cold in the 60s in the morning. Heavy sweater weather if there is wind. There was a 30 mph wind when we started. It finally got to 70 degrees. That's good shooting weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
