​The following link is a short intro for those embarking upon the pilgrimage to camp Perry. Just stuff to think about before departing.

Ham_Chu, thanks for sharing this GCA article with all of us. This captures the Perry experience pretty well. In the article they refer to hydration stations i.e. water jugs behind every 25 firing positions. This is good for the shooters and staff at the line as well as the water available in the pits and it is important to drink a bunch. I would however caution anyone that would be a new shooter to Perry; start your hydration process well in advance of going out there, even a month before hand! Last year was brutal on me as I did not start my process of hydration early enough and by the third day on the range I was pissing cobwebs and constantly light headed which does make for a poor performance behind the trigger.

CC, I believe the hydration process is supposed to involve H20, not PBR.

<insert joke comparing PBR to water here>
