Oct. 8th, 2006 10:59 pmDesert Open: Two-day outdoor FITA
Man, except for this week, I haven't shot outdoor since August. Earlier I'd picked out some sight settings (I've changed some balance and sight stuff since leaving Claremont) which turned out surprisingly effective, although as usual my left-right sighting refuses to be consistent. Given the sleep I got, I shot about as well as I'd hoped to (that is to say, several dozen points lower than I feel like I'm capable of) at 90 and 70, and was in fact shooting somewhat better than expected for the first half of 50, until I fell apart. Over the last five ends I dropped nearly 30 points. The lunch break was good to me, and I was pretty on top of things at 30 - only three shots less than 8, one of which was a hideous twitch of a two.
Final score: 983, and (I think) third place of five. I didn't stick around for awards, though.
Tomorrow, I take the blue skies back to Utah. Thanks for letting me borrow them, guys.

EDIT P.S. If you're reading this Sunday night in Claremont, and I haven't seen you yet, come give me a hug. You know how to reach me.
