"I said use your sling. Not TQ the neck".

Took a skill builder yesterday.  Like normal, had fun and learned something.

1 thing was what the hood protection is for on my Safariland holster.  So if someone is facing you and tries to grab the pistol in the holster, which would prevent you from drawing it.  The hood protection tab stops their hand from making contact with the hood.  So you can disengage the hood still. When I go to the range, I get asked by a few people if I'm going to remove this.  Now I am not. Cause if Young v. Hawaii takes effect, I will be using this holster, but attached at the hip instead of a drop leg.

What was noticeable again is the mental fatigue toward the end of the SB. During the SB, I do well, but usually the last exercise is when I start to slip accuracy wise.  IDK how I have to train to prevent this.  I think it's mainly because I'm an indoor dog.  I mean I could go stand in the sun thru out the week, but is that really feasible? Even after the SB, due to being in the sun, around 6pm is when I start to get headache and feeling drained.  I do drink Gatorade and it helps prevent it from getting worst.During the 4 hr SB, I drank about 3/4 gallon of water and 1 bottle Gator. I did forget to apply sunscreen too and I'm very pale.  The damn sunscreen is on my bathroom counter top. I took it out and left it there so I don't forget to apply it. No focus. I might relocated to inside my range bag.

Had a few first timers and from the start to the end, they have shown a big improvement for manipulations. Accuracy takes longer than 1 SB to improve greatly on though.  But stuff like reloads, drawing, stance, etc...

Ive noticed on overcast days, im pissing about 3x in 4 hrs. Sunny days like yesterday, 1 to none.

Ill try the hydration IV packs.  But ill do it in the next few weeks. Not a fan of trying new stuff day of range days. What if it gives me the runs. I think longs has.

I tried pocari sweat and it gave me a mean migraine about 1 hr later for 8 hrs.

Also what I did notice was that my first shot out of the holster is on the money. But follow up shots or when shooting from ready position, not so much.  It has been this way for a while.  And showed even more during the past skill builder.

I do notice the hand shaking slightly after about 3 seconds, but manageable.  Then around 7 is where I'm trying to chase the front post. The 3 seconds could be because I'm jacked up full of caffeine. Coffee in the morning.

The camelback suggestion is a good one.  If there's some ice in it, you keep the water and your body cooler.

You might toss in a couple of medical ice packs in case you get overheated.

If you can hydrate to the point that you need to take a piss -- and the color isn't dark yellow -- then you're succeeding in staying hydrated.  if you haven't had to go for hours, and you've been drinking like a hippo, you're still losing water faster than you can take it in.

Electrolytes and sodium (salt) help you retain water, too.  Good quality sports drinks have lots of that.  Gatorade contains water, sugar, dextrose, citric acid, salt, sodium citrate, monopotassium phosphate, gum arabic, glycerol ester of rosin along with flavorings.  The sugar provides extra carbs for immediate physical activity.

The original Gatorade was a homemade drink containing salt, sugar and lemon flavoring -- created in the 1960s for the University of Florida Gators football team.

Just some things to learn and use when you find yourself in need of hydration.

Well, you better put up a sign on your front door on your caffeine status for the day.

Has CMO has his coffee?
Yes - If you can dance around for 7 seconds, you get chance.
No - You have 3 seconds to comply

 

It's funny cause I had a few guys ask about my plate carrier and the saying is, train how you would fight. Then Mrs. CMO comes around and tells them I walk around naked at home. So plate carrier, rifle slung, war belt, and boto hanging out.  Didn't have to use the nohomo phrase, cause Mrs. CMO brought it up and not me.

Found out from mrs. Cmo, 1 of our friends was giving out the green liquid iv. I missed out.

Picked up some Liquid IV Pasion Fruit.  Walmart didn't have Strawberry in stock.  This is my 2nd trip there, went a few days ago and only had the green box, which has some immunity stuff in it.  All others were sold out or at least not stocked.

Town Walmart sucks. Their shelves are out of stock on more items than there should be.  This was even precovid too.  Compared to the Vegas Walmart that has full shelves and nicely organized.  Vegas Walmart was more like a Target, shelves full.  Haven't been to other locations so can't compare.

I haven't been to a LOT of Walmarts around the country, but the ones that I've seen are quite similar to the town Walmart.  The Pearl City one is a bit better than the town one in terms of overall stock, organization, etc.  But I think it depends on the "types" of people that frequent the particular Walmart.  The Walmart in Anchorage, AK was VERY interesting.  Anchorage is interesting in general.
