Sniper Initiated Assault: We had a really good run, came out about 3rd. The thing that was really cool was watching our boy Slamma do his thing. Almost every team had to hit the door multiple times before they could enter the house. Slamma never broke stride, baby. That was the coolest, most beautiful feat of human achievement I’ve seen in quite some time.

Sniper Challenge: This should have been our event but I screwed it up for everyone. Yes, oh yes I did. By the time we were getting ready to go light was getting scarce. The judge told us they were getting ready to call it and asked if we wanted to wait until tomorrow. Actually, he asked me that a couple of times. I was fired up and I could sense that Big Bad was too. I told the judge we wanted to go. Big Bad asked me if I was sure we wanted to go. I said I was. There was then another delay while they cadre fixed the target box and two other teams went.
We were smoking. A full blast 150 yard sprint to a screeching halt in the shooting box. bolts cycled, in position. I then noticed that I couldn’t see a durn thing through my JP target rear peep. Bad decision Bumper.
I adjusted as well as I could and could just make out the formerly vibrant-orange plates, I held hard and hoped the front sight was where I thought it was. Big Bad told me which of my plates not to shoot and I squeezed and heard the ‘tink’ of lead to steel in the distance, I shifted fired, shifted fired and transitioned to the next box. As I transitioned I noticed that I hadn’t been hitting. I remembered the other aperture I never thought I would use because it’s just a bit larger than the one I was using. I still couldn’t make out the front post right so I just held and squeezed at the targets I wanted to hit.
All told I hit a whopping two out of six for a total of a minute added to our time. Big Bad had a glitch with his borrowed sandbag and missed the egg shot, but our raw time was fast enough that we came out about mid-pack. Still it should have been the event that rocketed us up into the money, and I blew it. Big.
