I am planning on coming and getting myself embarrassed, again . Will be bringing a FWB 300S (so I'll be in the springer class) this time sporting a scope that arrives on Monday. I have to get familiarized with the combo in the next few days to get ready for the competition. It was really fun last time despite my dismal score and getting a little sick afterward (could barely drive back home). It was good to meet up with many friendly airgunners and enjoy the nice weather. I look forward to the 4/13 event!
