Yesterday, at a match I got some more bullets. I only had enough for that day, then I was out! One of my coaches was there, and gave me 27 1/2 pounds of practice bullets (The Washington State Junior Rifle Team gets free Sierra bullets to practice with).
   I left "my" rifle with my coach, and he is going to put a new barrel on it. I am going to pick it up on Wednesday. When we get it back, my dad is going to load some ammo to test with my new brass and bullets =).

  I have some good news. From the two days at the sale, we got over $1,500 for Camp Perry!!! My coach, wants me to go to New Mexico the following month... we didn't know how we were going to get me to both. He called yesterday and told us that Cascade (Rifle Club) donated about $1,200 to each junior, for Camp Perry. Recently, Custer Sportsman's Club gave me $1,000 to help with expenses! God is so GOOD!

I'll never do that again!

 I went to a match on the 26th and guess what I forgot?? My shooting jacket! I had just rearranged my room, and I didn't see my jacket by my dresser. I didn't remember it until I was setting my stuff out to shoot. I told my dad, and he told the match director. He found an old jacket ( like the one in this pic of me in December, before I got a nice custom one) that fit me. My jacket, my sling and the part that hooks the sling to the gun was all at home!! I was mad at myself for doing that, I will NEVER do that again. The padding in the left elbow was ----------- like that thin. My elbow hurt sooo bad after that match. Also, my eye was also too close to the sight (the part that I look through to see my target), because I had 2 minutes to tighten the sling to the right spot, and get in position. So, my sight and shooting glasses got all bloody, because it hit my above my eyebrow a few times. It hurt really bad!! I will never forget my jacket again!!!!!
