That tells me you are doing much better to be participating in a IDPA and I expect a full post match report :-).

Weeeeelllll I don't expect to do a lot of sprinting from position to position and my friends will watch me carefully. I have some shooting buddies over there that are EMTs. Last time they had to work on me was about 10 years ago when I had heat exhaustion after running a TAC rifle course in a TAC vest and my AR. I'd just managed to clear the weapon at the end when I felt myself going under. They were close and managed to grab me before I hit the ground. One guy caught the weapon, the other caught me as I sagged. I learned that in south Florida, if you've ever been a heat casualty (as I have) then you have a definite "shooting season." For me it lasts from OCT to about the end of May. Anyway they lowered me to the ground and dumped an ice chest's contents on me like a mackeral on Friday. It worked.

I'll be fine tomorrow as long as I take it easy.

Yes, do take it easy. More than once I've passed out from too much heat. Guess that's why I love snowy winters and hate the heat of summer.

Shooting season up here in Idaho is Spring and Fall. Sub freezing (often sub-zero) temperatures make it difficult to shoot with numb fingers. Snow and icy roads make it difficult to get to the range. Summers are bone dry. Overnight lows in the 80's. Daytime highs in the high 90's/low 100's. Humidity 4-15%. Last summer it was VERY smoky from all the fires in the western part of the state. Winter has been heavenly this year. Once that grass starts growing, my Sundays are shot until mid-October.
