Episode Recap
SECTION 1: NARRATIVE RECAP Greetings, fellow predators of the plastic skies. The third hunt of our Raptor Series has concluded beneath skies that tested even our most seasoned talon-bearers. Like two hawks sharing the same thermal, Nicholas Jennings and Derik Thomas soared to identical scores of +12, their flight paths intertwining at the summit of their respective divisions. Thomas proved particularly keen-eyed, striking true on our Closest to Pin challenge, claiming his prey of $24.00 with the precision of an osprey plucking fish from troubled waters. The MP40 aerie saw Sean Kelley rise above the crosswinds, matching talons with MA3's rising star Luke Hansen as both hunters carved their path to +16. Young Hansen's performance speaks of talons growing sharper with each molt, while Kelley's veteran experience guided his discs through the day's challenging air currents. In the MA3 hunting grounds, Collin McCormick demonstrated the patience of a perched falcon, securing second place with +17, while Jayden Ling claimed third with the persistence of a young eagle testing its wings at +21. The seasoned warriors of MA40 saw JOSH ROWBERRY claim second perch at +24, while in MP40, Zachary Melville weathered the winds to secure second position with +25.
