[Battle in the Bluegrass IV]

Thanks to everyone who made this a great match. Especially Mike Foley from Shooters Connection.

When my gun went down on the stage he was running, he lent me his for the rest of the match. Talk about hooking it up!

I can't say enough for that level of dedication to ensure that everyone had the most amount of fun possible.

[Fine motor skills when working for strength]

I'd try dry-firing/shooting before workouts. When I was a wrestling coach, we'd always do technique work at the beginning of practices, since it and fine motor skills deteriorate once fatigue sets in. Also, if you've been (hypothetically) lifting at 6-7pm, then practicing the next day at 7am, you've only had 12hrs to recover. If you went from a 7-8 am practice and worked out at 8-9, you'd have 22hrs to recover. An ice bath, plenty of sleep, and getting some food/shake in after a workout always helps with my recovery if I've been beat up from a rough workout. Hope this helps.
