Hogleg Hunter 62 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Apple, beef jerky or sticks. It also helps save energy if you can convince your spouse to pull your gun cart. P.S. let me know if that works. Hogleg 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L 484 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I try to alternate water and Gatorade to stay hydrated, although I always start with coffee! For snacks, I like those little child size lunch box plastic cups of peaches and occasionally a snack pack of trail mix. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoss 1,408 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I try to drink a Gatorade in the morning before match starts. Then a bottle of water every stage. I usually have some beef jerky or trail mix about 1/2 thru. in summer months we frequently take a watermelon break after 3 stages. Cold watermelon sure is good and rehydrating!

Tully Mars 256 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) When it's hot out, I'll bring frozen Gatorade or Crystal Lite in a jug with ice. The Gatorade is typically ready to start sipping on by the second stage. Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich as well, maybe some nuts and jerky. We make the PB&J the night before and just through in in the cart. Tully Edited May 9 by Tully Mars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
