Congrats on a nice start to the weekend. You'll be home soon, with stories to tell to brighten moods on bad or low days. Stories like how you dropped to get in position only to have a small pointy rock right on your knee, and how hard it was to ignore the pain to get the shot in. Just keep thinking of those Monday Snack Cakes.
Lol...You raise a point that so many competitors don't think about...Knee pads. Fortunately I'm a professional and so use them. I have them inserted into special pockets in my tactical pants and. An take a knee rapidly with impunity. It's not rocket science, but most don't do it. I've had a lot of experience running and having to hit a knee and shoot. I'm a fast learner.
This is what makes the difference between a top ten result and being an also ran. 🙂
I've started competing for the day...Only four shooting stages to go now actually. Ten total, one down for today already.
I'll be home and snacking by 1700.
