I ache all over. Eight hours of shooting. Shooting while moving toward, away from, or parallel to the target, shooting at moving targets, shooting while moving at moving targets. I don’t know how many hundred rounds. My right hand feels as if it were sandpapered. Another shooter has a blister on his palm. I’m coming to like the Para LDA trigger....
