hi guys:
I am working on a trip to ThunderRanch in May. Part of the training involves heading up the ridges for work on high angle shooting.
I have been carrying a Gunslinger II pack (thanks Ceylon) loaded with a rangefinder (thanks Doug at cameraland) rifle, spotting scope, tri-pod (Precision Rifle Solutions).
I am also carrying my bench sandbags to account for extra water I will carry up the hill. Total is 45 pounds on the scale.
I get about 4 mph with this load on FLAT land.
ThunderRanch is at 5,600 ft elevation. I ain't huffin at 4 mph. I WILL BE when I get to elevation.
So, whats a good training pace?
