The Lost Target website is a web-based news service that strives to post news of interest for gun enthusiasts. The webmaster for the site resides in upstate New York and shoots registered Skeet, Trap, and Sporting Clays in the states and Canada. By no means a top gun, a shooter just out to have fun...Not a doctor....
If you have a sensor easy enough to check your numbers. If not, you're doing the finger pin prick.
You want a reading of 100 or higher immediately before starting the event. If at 100 or lower a good chance of crashing during the shoot. The more you exert yourself the faster your numbers are going to drop. With a sensor you can check after every 25 targets (skeet/trap) or every four or five stations in sporting. No sensor. Preset your kit for a quick check.
The higher the numbers the less checking you have to do. Some are more sensitive than others.
You know your body. You know when you're getting ready to crash. Set the minimum level you're willing to go before you take additional carbs. But anything under 100 is going to get you in the long run.
It doesn't take many carbs to make it right. A low carb protein bar in your shoot bag should be all it takes. In any case whatever you take it will be 15 minutes before it takes effect so don't let your number get too low before you take action.
