Congratulations, and seeing the older fellow shooting i see two arms and hands in great shape, about how old is our Champion?

So today I also provided Range Safety Officer duties for a very large youth shooting event. 106F up here as we speak. So I had seven kids drop from heat, two ambulance runs, and multiple kids yakking their guts up. It’s hot right? So I am watching little Johnny roll the curtains up and I explain to his very proud Mom we need to immediately get him off his feet and cooled off before he drops. She is arguing with me little Johnny is fine, I explain he most certainly is not and that the lights are on but no one is home. She is in a pride loop and will not deviate from explaining to me in louder and louder terms her son is fine. Then starts barraging him with are you ready to continue, are you ready for next round? Bring him water he is fine. The kid cannot hear anything at this point but likely the roaring in his ears. I explain again much more forcefully we have to get him off his feet. She looks at me like I am a moron as he sways and drops. My partner caught him. Arghh. Parental misplaced pride is dangerous in these conditions. Long day.
That is spooky, always remember to remove shoes and socks, cool feet will help cool blood down, something tells me you know this already.
Thank you for sharing.

Sadly no alcohol for me this eve as I am pre loading with Gatorade and water for tomorrow. Gonna be more of the same.
Same here, went to a big event Saturday (King of the concrete) after two hot days on Pettit Jean Mt swap meet, no alcohol for me, two quarts of non sweet ice tea at the race track.

Last year, going to Carlisle, I was following Hoppy. Well, as you know his truck broke down with an oil leak. Well, it was very hot and humid, like is always is in July. Any ways, Ray had to crawl under that hot *** truck, with oil dripping n him, to try to find the leak. We gave up, and decided to put his truck on my empty car trailer to the show. Well when we get there, we have to unload everything. Rays been busting his *** getting ready for the show, and he was dragging. The heat was so bad, I thought Ray was going to pass out from sun stroke. For real..... We got the pop ups as quick as we could. At least some shade.....the elements really got to both of us.....no fun.....
Ray is a tuff bird ! Wow, I forgot all about that.
