DLO Live! Ep.66 2024 BOTC

A couple of weeks ago I had a chance to spend three days in Wyoming observing the 2024 Burris Optics Team Challenge competition. I did not participate, but I did get to shoot at some of the plates and I had free rein to roam around, take pictures and ask questions.
The competition was a blast and I want to participate next yet.
I did walk away from it with some notes and observations that I thought I'd share, so here we are.

Some of the Burris/Steiner optics I had a chance to play with:
