shooting: Done

Finished the match with no new jams today. Now we're waiting in the lobby surfing the internet (i.e. killing time) until the awards ceremony. If I get called soon enough, there will still be good stuff on the prize table (it's random). There is supposed to be $90K on the table for the first walker to choose from.

Big win for the day was that we were done in time to get back to the hotel for a shower before we had to check out.


The Chronograph of DOOM.

The picture shows the little tunnel where they test how fast your bullets are going. Multiplied by the bullet weight in grains and divided by 1000 gives the power factor. Above 165 is major and below that and above 125 is minor. I shot Production, which is always minor no matter what. My friend James thought he was major and was 10th in Limited 10 when he encountered the Chrono of Doom. He wasn't major, so all his scores will be changed to minor---he will still beat me, but he will probably out of the top ten. Bummer.

However, I managed a bad joke out of it by mentioning that his wife might get in trouble for taking a minor across a state line for ... you know the rest.
