On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, there is the Long-Range Championship at Rattlesnake. I am really looking forward to shooting there, because it's very windy. Let me re-phrase that, it's VERY windy, the wind switches like there's no tomorrow, and it's the hardest range in North America. That's better, now back to what I was saying. I love to shoot there, simply because of the challenge of reading the wind. People think I'm crazy when I go to a match hoping that it's going to be windy. Most people go to a match hoping for no wind, why? I don't know, ask them. I hope for wind, that way, my wind reading skills improve, and I have more confidence adjusting my sights. Rattlesnake definitely has enough wind, maybe too much, but it's fun to 
shoot there.
shoot there. To the left, is pic from last year at the State Championship there (also, the pic where the title of my blog is, is from Rattlesnake). I'm pretty sure that I was shooting at the 800 yard line. There is NO grass to shoot on, only rocks and volcanic rock. There aren't any wind flags in this pic, but I can assure you that they were going crazy!
At Rattlesnake, I'm going to be shooting 800, 900, and 1,000 yards, a palma. Friday and Saturday are the individual matches, then Sunday is the team match (also at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards). I'll post about my weekend at the end of the match.
