Desert 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.

You don't want that. You saw Marissa a couple days ago, half-dead? I think I have what she does, now. You probably want to stay far away from both of us.

Feel free to invoke the "if I haven't seen you yet" clause in this case, then. I have in fact seen you both.

Granted. I don't think I ever talked to you, though I may have given you a nod of hello at some point, but I definitely did see you, and thus, going by the strictest interpretation of what you said, I am free to avoid you completely.

Also, wow that was a fast response (he says, and then forgets to press the "reply" button for about an hour).

Comments in my email are a nice distraction from Matlab. And we did go to Pitzer the once.
