dehydration...bad
water...good
On Sunday (11th) I went shooting with my neighbor out at the Oroville Ca free range (near the dam next to the thermolito afterbay, it was the old clay pit)and using the flintlock rifle (pitifully out of practice with it) I got no more than 5 shoots off that day...it nothing but troubles: ignition, loading, I even managed to 'dry ball' (not load powder) somehow (crap, I've been shooting since '94! I should now better!)...now add in my knee (Rt) killing me, that (Rt) foot (because of the knee) too and my left ankle (after spraining it almost two weeks ago) is swelling and painful, being fixated on 'getting this to work', in the sun, no water, no shade...by the time I DID get that last shot off I had a unbearably crippling pain, sunburned, monster headache+nausea
Yup, all the dehydration symptoms including pee the color of Guinness Stout!
well, that lasted all night and into Monday making me an hour late for work, every light from the sun to my computer monitors hurt but I still had enough 'focus?' to know what happened and I drank water like a fish! it took to noon before I started feeling better.
Lesson to self (and everyone)...
Drink! drink! drink!
water...good

Isn't Oroville where The Klansman was filmed? --- When you're shooting, do you keep your knees relaxed (vs locked)?

I know where time bandits was filmed, klansman I'm not sure...
I shoot 50 caliber hawken ( think the movie jeremiah Johnson) and reproduction civil war 44 caliber Remington new army can an ball revolver ( go out with nieghbor, no fun alone)... don't lock knees\control posture, lean into, control breathing, sight picture and trigger\finger control...Don't flinch! Black powder doesn't kick as hard but it's SLOW FIRING AND SMOKEY (that's why it's fun)

some A**hole drilled one of my 1/4" steel gong plates (those things where $10-15 on amazon, now RUINED!) at 100yd with something...put two nickel size holes in it AND DIDN'T OWN UP TO IT!..between being pissed to all hell, the sun/heat, no water, no shade, not eating..I'm feeling like my brains are being squeezed through my eye sockets...i know, dehydration on top of anger and low blood sugar...
