It was a beautiful weekend at the Flagler Gun & Archery Club in Bunnell, Florida. There were 11 pre-registrations and 10 showed up on Saturday.  The Saturday no-show attended on Sunday replacing one no-show.

There were several familiar faces and 6 first-timers.  Using the newly revised 25M Rifle Standard Course of Fire, we were able to complete the initial AQT on Saturday.  No Riflemen were revealed but several were nearing 200. 

7 year old Calvin impressed everyone with his energy and enthusiasm.  Starting with a single shot bolt action he mastered the basics and by Saturday afternoon was using a borrowed Tippman M4-22 with great proficiency. 

Our oldest shooter (73) had some mobility issues and was not able to shoot prone or seated.  Rambo Granny stepped in and Adapted things so he could shoot from a folding chair in the open legged seated position.  By Sunday afternoon he was a newly minted Rifleman.  Congratulations Tim!.  Huzzah for Rambo Granny. 

First timer Ana outshot her husband Isaac, a prior attendee on Saturday and most of Sunday, but in the end Isaac also became a newly minted Rifleman with exactly 210.  Ana got in the spirit and used her ice cooler for the water of the old North Bridge to baptize him. 

Kevin re-qualified multiple times and almost shot Distinguished.  Well Done.

First timer Ben also qualified with his bolt action rifle.  Huzzah. 

Pictures of the proceedings will follow in another post.

It was a great learning experience and so much fun! I took a bunch of pictures but somehow half of them were missing when I went took them off the camera. Here's a link to what I had left:
