Long day!

   Wow, where do I start? Well, on Friday night, a friend invited me to an all night party with about 100 people from her church. We went swimming, ice skating, and just hung out. It was really fun, but we decided to skip bowling, which was from 2:00-3:00 in the morning, so we could get a little sleep. We had a match in the morning, so that's why we wanted some sleep! Mrs. Pitre dropped me off at home, where I get a little less than 3 hours of sleep.
   At 7:00, we met them at a store, and I loaded my shooting gear in their car. We followed the Rettmer's to Machias, and I think I slept over half the way there! I could barely keep my eyes open, so I thought I should sleep.
   I thought I was going to die out there shooting when I had practically no sleep, but I think I did ok. My first string was a 200-12X, I was very surprised that I could shoot when I was tired, but I think it works better, haha! My second string was a 200-11X. Some people thought that a 9 was marked a 10, but I didn't notice it, because my my scope wasn't perfectly clear, and my scorer didn't say anything. But, on my last string, I dropped a low nine, I  was so sad! I shot a 199-14X. Overall, I was really happy with my X count and score of 599-37X, my personal best for 500 yards!
   I was sent home with a borrowed Savage Palma Rifle to try it, and to see if I like it. Tonight, I am going to get into position with it, and make it fit me so I can dry-fire and shoot it. I don't think I'll be shooting with it at matches, just for practice.
