Title: AZ has a New Riflemen
Post by: lysander6 on April 04, 2010, 05:47:55 PM
Besides the six Riflemen who graduated from the Buckeye Shoot on 27-28 March, we have just had one of our IITs, AZRyan, shoot his Rifleman score this morning with a score of 210.  He was doused with the blessed water per tradition.

The ranks are growing.  Well met, Ryan!

Congratulations Ryan!

We definitely persist until we get the score the first time.

Now do it with another rifle.  Do it off the opposite shoulder.  :)

I'm right-handed, but left-eye dominant, so over the years I've trained myself to shoot rifles off of the left shoulder.

After I could be consistent with the rifleman score off of the left shoulder, I decided to try shooting the AQT off of the right shoulder.  Now THAT felt strange!

But I persisted.....

Now I can do it consistently with the .22 off of either shoulder.  Next is to do it with centerfire off of each shoulder consistently.

When I'm not down in the dirt next to other shooters, I suppose :)
