Just this past Saturday we pulled out of the Stephens' driveway to make our two-day trek to Kerrville, Texas. It was a LONG journey, but it was WELL worth it. The hotel we stayed in, The Inn of the Hills, was pretty nice. We got in Sunday evening and relaxed. On Monday we had equipment check and unofficial practice. The FITA field was in a valley, with trees on either side. When the wind got into that valley there was nothing there to stop it so it was completely unpredictable. It helped to be able to see what it was going to be like shooting in those conditions on Wednesday.
Later that day we went to a ranch to practice 3D on hills. As you may well know, Georgia is completely and absolutely flat. Texas, on the other hand (especially hill country) is NOT. It took a little while, but we finally kinda got an idea of what it was like to shoot uphill and downhill. After we left we were a little nervous about how we were going to shoot compared to everyone else, but we were excited to be able to see what our competition looked like the next day.
