stopping getting sweaty hands

[mollykins]

I'm in a ceremonial rifle drill competition on sunday, but unless we are outside in the cold, I get sweaty hands by half way through the routine, and the competition will be inside, in the warm where i will most probably get sweaty hands. What can i do to try and stop it?

The routine is about 15 minutes long and every time we've practiced inside, i get sweaty hands after 7 or 8 minutes.

Go to a sports shop and ask them for some weightlifter's chalk.You rub it on your hands and it keeps them dry.

Oh yeah, thats what weight lifters and other gymnasts use, good idea thanks.

But i wouldn't want to get chalk over my uniform.

Spray anti-perspirant on your hands.
It ought to keep your hands sweat-free, and it won't mark yoir uniform.

Have a practice with it first, though...................:o)

Both these suggestions are so obvious, thanks, i'll definatly try the antipesperant jack.
