I spent the weekend in Columbus, OH helping Dan at his meet. He had a great day went 2400 at 242 in only his third ever multiply meet. Danny Dague always puts on great meets and this one was no different. It’s always a good time shooting the shit over these weekends with people that I only see at meets. Being at this meet made me even more excited to compete in my meet this weekend.
