This past Saturday was a brisk with gusting winds in Gurley, AL! The sun struggled to punch through the clouds and the grass was crunchy underneath our feet as we set up the range for the one-day shoot at Haven Farm.
Everyone arrived on time and smiling. Many of our folks were members of the Madison County Prepper group and it was good to spend time with them. With great attitudes despite the seasonably cold weather, we jumped into instruction right away. Our instructor team, GTEngineer, EddieB, and your humble author each shared the Three Strikes at spread out during the day.
It was a quick pace on Saturday - we knew we'd lose daylight early and everyone wanted to reach an AQT before lights out! For the instructors, it's a pleasure to come out when a group arrives with teachable attitudes!
Greg - you get the perseverence award for the day. We all know why! :)
Bill - thank you for bringing your family out with you this time. Debbie and Brad, y'all hung in there throughout the day and learned a whole bunch! :)
Mike & Tiffany - All smiles, all day! Both of you showed tremendous improvement from the first Redcoat target! O0
Terri - keep at it! You have some great groups and we're gonna get you four good strings put together!
Bobby - many thanks to you for your help, especially in the morning! I think your shooting has improved a bunch. :bow:
Jared & Nathaly - I'm glad you both came out and I hope you had fun. I was impressed by your improvement, especially Nathaly's open leg sitting position! Wow!
Cory - thank you for helping to promote the event to the MCP crew. Y'all are always a blast to hang out with. :)
Shannon - you're the example that practice DOES make a difference. Your Redcoat was AWESOME! Excellent job! ^:)^
On behalf of my fellow instructors, it was our honor to have served you Saturday. Thank you for coming out and making a difference. I hope to see all of you again soon. Please feel free to log in here and add comments and suggestions!

P.S. The best compliment you can give us is to return with a friend. Hope to see you back soon! :)
