And a good time was had by all! Paying for it tonight though. Legs are killing me. I'm not in the best of shape and the horendous heat didn't help.

Anyway, Pickaway puts on a good match. Met a LOT of great shooters who were quick to help a new guy out. Met New ScopeShooter right off and his brother. That was cool to put a face to a name on here.

Learned alot. Learned I can't wait for the next one and may try to find another club close by in the next week or two. Learned gear alone is NOT all you need. WATER would have went a long way! The range had water for us just to be fair - but I should have brought a few bottles or some sports drinks in a small cooler. A towel would have been nice in the bag too. Maybe some hand wipes. I learned that although I bleed scarlet and gray, I could survive missing all but the last 10 minutes of their opener today. And this experience far outwayed what I would have gotten out of the ballgame.

I don't know why I waited so long to get started.
