Post up some of what you learned, I'd sure enjoy reading it.
I learned:
1.) Don't forget the damn sunblock, if I were smarter, I could have asked to borrow some
2.) rifle scope magnifications on the high end were 25x and higher
3.) all the competition targets were black to stop complaints
4.) the smart squads used a single mat for the entire squad
5.) the shooter is responsible for spotting their own misses and making corrections (no coaching from the spotters)
6.) wear plenty of light weight sunblock clothing as if fishing all day, as in much of the desert southwest, if you want shade wear it
7.) be prepared to eat dirt (the wind is not your friend)
8.) knee and elbow pads are recommended
9.) if you can't tolerate standing all day between your turn to shoot, bring a portable folding stool
10.) depending on your starting station, lunch could be a long time off, carry something to hold you over
11.) stay hydrated, they had the shooting stations setup with cases of bottled water
12.) overall, I thought the whole thing was well setup and managed
13.) the land owners were great to talk with, I learned that they needed 40 acres of land for each sheep
14.) it was nice to see couples, families and otherwise challenged individuals being accommodated and assisted throughout the competition
15.) the folks who catered the dinner were also great, I enjoyed the pulled pork sandwiches on Saturday
16.) as in most wind challenged shooting, the heavier 30 cals ruled the weekend
17.) I would absolutely recommend this event to any shooter wanting to compete in this venue
