This blog is going to get very interesting in the next week or so. I've decided to share my hobby with the blogosphere.
Dr. UpsideDown is a competitive pistol shooter. Yep, college professor and NRA member. I compete in a sport called "Conventional Pistol" or "Bullseye". We shoot at paper targets with handguns at distances of 25 and 50 yards, one handed. I've shot for years and competed pretty regularly before getting on the tenure track. With my leave, I had time to get somewhat back into it, but what leave really gave me time to do is to shoot in THE BIG ONE. The National Matches, a weeklong series of shoots at Camp Perry, in Port Clinton, Ohio.
It's going to be quite an experience, one that I'll share here. The National Matches are steeped in traditions that take on mythical proportions in the local clubs.
But for me, it will be a week with no one to take care of but myself. No parents, no boyfriends, no students, just me. Yes, I'll still be calling Mom several times a day to check blood sugars and such, but I'll be mostly on my own. I can't wait.
