Well I just finished a 4 week run, Shot the Edmonton City Championship, then on to Regina for the Sask Provincials, then back to Edmonton for the Alberta Provincials then to Kindersley for an SATA shoot, we were in the midst of a heat wave, most days were low to mid 30's. I have a cold towel that I wear around the back of my neck, lot's of Gatorade zero to replenish electrolytes along with plenty of water and seek out the shade whenever I'm not shooting, the heat wears on a guy after a while.
In total I logged 3,742 km and shot 3,650 rounds including shoot off's, man what a marathon, Monday I gave my guns a good cleaning and put them away I'm not going to look at them for a couple weeks, need some down time, that much travel and shooting in the heat is hard on this old guy, it wears me out, but then again I have a lot of shooting buddies that aren't here to shoot with us anymore so I consider myself lucky, I love the smell of burning gun powder, aromatheropy

Marathon indeed!
but I had at least 3 bags at every shoot, that's 7 lbs when it goes into the jerky oven and just over 3 lbs when it is done, didn't take long for it to evaporate
