But who’s counting?

Meanwhile in this parched piece of paradise we call home, it’s a muggy 6% RH, but hey, it will get a bit drier as the day wears on.
What is normal for y’all (did I use this term correctly) is a bit sticky for some of us from the Colorado Plateau.

You guys could dehydrate fruit on the kitchen counter.

Isn’t that how it’s done everywhere?

If you want your potato chips crispier, leave the bag open for an hour or so.

My tune changes driving 3 hours to Missoula, sometimes a LOT. Id love to see a match like short range where theres time to load between targets but it would have to be a longer match. Like I said, Im super impressed by the guys that pre loaded and were competitive. A tuner would at least give you another way of fixing an out of tune rifle. I watched Leo Anderson keep his rifle in tune most of the time only on seating, he was always competitive. Powder works better for me, but it makes for a long match when your first target shows your out of tune and you cant fix it.

So I just upgraded from an RCBS scale to an A&D. As sensitive as that scale is the thought of packing it up and then setting it up in my trailer makes me kind of nervous. Does anyone bring a A&D 120i on the road or are other scales more suited for traveling?

I take mine to every match, as do a lot of other competitors. I also bring my calibration weight and calibrate each time I set it up after moving it. It calibrates very quickly. I know I need to calibrate if my powder cup doesn't weight 720.16 to 720.18 grains.

I bought a heavy plastic pic-foam case from Harbor Freight and then picked out the foam so my scale, Autothrow, and Autotrickler fit.

The case was about $70. It's not a high end case like a Pelican but it works well.

That’s good to know. Thanks for the response. I’m hoping to do some traveling to shoot once I get a little more time.

I take mine to every match also. Transport it in the original box it shipped in then that box goes in a larger tote with my battery back up line filter then I pack foam around that so it's not moving around.
