The Trip.......

Vegas was great! It was everything that everyone has said it would be. The shoot itself was a lot of fun. We got to shoot with the same people on Fri. and Sat. and then on Sunday they put us into flights. I was in the 18th flight. As you can tell I did not shoot my best. But I did get 6th place in my flight so I won $40.00. Paul also won some money, I think he got 5th place in his flight. He won $60.00. So we were the big winners. We did lots of sight seeing. On Thur. night we took the city bus to downtown, the old part of Vegas. It was fun to see all the stuff my mom and dad talked about when they went to Vegas years ago. On Fri. I shot at 3:00 and then we all went to the BCY party in the hotel. They had all the food and beer and wine you wanted for free. It was great! On Sat. I had to shoot at 10:00. After that I left Rick by himself (he shot at 3:00) and went with the rest of the Waseca group. We took the bus down the Strip. We started at Hooters and then walked back to the Riviera. We went into a bunch of the casinos. That night we all went to the Sims party. It was not nearly as good as the BCY party, but the food was free again. Sunday I had to shoot at 7:30. It went much better shooting on Sunday then Fri. and Sat. it felt much better and I shoot better. After shooting I went to the Copper John booth and they replaced both of the Super X releases that I have that keep breaking. It is great that they are standing behind them. I got the 2008 modals, I guess they have worked out all the kinks in them. I watched Rick shoot at 12:30 and then we watched the pro shoot –off. It was really exciting to watch. If you go on Archery Talk and watch it you will see me in the back ground. We are right behind Dave Cousins. As soon as that was done Rick and I took off to do some sight seeing. We went to the Paris Casino and went up the Eiffel tower. Then we walked back to the Wynn and met up with some people and they took us to the Reo and gave us some lessons on gambling. We did not get to bed till 12:30 and then it was up at 4:45 to get ready to come home. We had to leave for the airport at 6:00. I was tired!!! The plane ride to and back was nice and smooth. So the trip was great and I am looking forward to going back next year!
