Seen below, JoeZ instructs TriggerNick on the finer points of shooting the redcoat challenge.

Also pictured is the first Ladyseed with Fred's first crack a women's shooting jackets. 

As everyone can see, the equipment has changed a bit over the years but the training remains as strong and good as ever!

M1917 in .30-06.  Sometimes mistakenly called an Enfield.  Manufactured by Remington, whostarted to make these in WWI for England in .303, but when it was clear that the US would enter the war, switched over to domestic production in the 06 chambering.  There were actually more 17's in service in WWI than M1903s...Audie Murphy even stated that he liked the rifle better than the 03.
