Thanks guys, just got home, it was a long-A weekend! Lots of shooting too geez. I had our regular winter outdoor league shoot at sunrise, then off to the show to shoot to qualify with a sore back hurting the entire time.
You want to talk about a struggle!? Try holding steady on 40+ yard animals at a 45 degree angle with a bad back.
Throw in the fact that None of my buddies shoot MBR class so I had to shoot by myself with a range official walking with me keeping score. So it's all business, get it done and get to the finals, no fun or joking around like you would normally have on a 3D course.

Anyway, hopefully we'll have about 1/3 HNI guys in the MBR finals and couple more in the HC? We're bound to take a trophy or 2 home?
Good luck tomorrow Rob!

Jeff,
The angles and yardages are hell in there because you have to see how wide this shooting line is.......it's got to be all of 30+ yards across with targets spread 50 yards ACROSS and then to different levels of the arena. You shoot back across, straight up and all over so you never get a read or feel for yardage. Then you have to shave a few for the really steep ones. It's a heck of a shoot unlike any you'd ever try.
Then add in like the guys said people 6-8 rows deep across that 30 yards watching your every move.

Doesn't bother me one bit now but I'll tell ya what the first year I shot it I was a little shakey. LOL Sort of the 'Don't look down".........don't turn around when you're on the line.[:-]
