My friend Pete Rensing of the Surefire Institute was kind enough to have me return this year.

The Surefire Championships, like the National Championships in the Spring, is a serious, demanding challenge to the shooters and their equipment. These are talented shooters being pushed to the limits of their firearms, ammo and bodies. It is also an endurance test, three days of unrelenting pressure. Mistakes and equipment problems can cost you many places in the final standings.

I'll mention again that DJI, who makes the drones, decided not to put audio recording in their cameras . GoPro did. Unfortunately, I'm using DJI's cameras on the drones they manufactured.

I've tried my best in flying the drones to avoid any hint of interfering with or distracting the shooters. That means I stayed at a distance, taking the larger picture of the challenge each stage presented.

Carl's Adventures. . . NEVER ending ;-)
