Hugh and I made the range around 3:30 today. Made the rounds with lots of familiar faces. Probably about 120 shooters. This is about 20 more than the Nats in Midland last Sept.

That many shooters makes sense.  3 US World team qualifying matches in close proximity.  Cactus and Nationals in Phoenix, and the  Rattlesnake in Raton.

Not much to report today. Winds were moderate temp picked up to about 22C. Lots of bright shiny things to look at. Lots of people arrived today. Reloading area is pretty much full up now. Should be a good day tomorrow.
