Ammo selection and mag selection in a Cola War is more important than pistol selection.
I took 5 pistol penalties on my first run this year and 0 on my second and a huge factor was shooting 115gr the first run and flat nose 147gr the second run. |

Glad I could make it out and improve. Still plenty to work on for next year.
Highlights: - talking to newbs who were fooled by their friends into coming. "Oh, it's just a camping thing with some friends. You'll have a blast!  "- xfrom ACNV completing his first chug with Mug root beer. - rendition of "Pancho and Lefty" at the bonfire. - kid dragging a weight that weighed as much as him.
