Title: AAR Midland, TX 04/30-05/01/2011
Post by: wcmartin1 on May 01, 2011, 07:57:58 PM
Thanks to RainmanJS for his excellent instruction as Shoot Boss, nomad181 as an IIT, John (our club's Rifle Director), and my wife (she brought lunch) for helping with another great weekend at the Midland Shooters Association.

Saturday was a beautiful day near 90 degrees.  We had 20 shooters on the line.  No new Rifleman were made, but we did have one repeat offender (Matt) who also cleaned both Redcoats of the day.

Sunday was overcast, mid 50's and WINDY - about 25 mph with blowing dust and gusts to 40 (it felt much colder with the wind), but we still had 10 great Americans who thought so much of the instruction that they persevered under these conditions.  No new Rifleman were made, but we had several that were knocking on the door and would have made it had their rifles been equipped with a sling.  They are convinced after practicing with our sling-equipped "dummy" rifle that they need one next time.

Overall a good time was had by all and they're looking forward to the next one.  Git-R-Done!  :---

Here's a few pics.

Notice the difference between Saturday's and Sunday's attire (shirtsleeves vs coats) and all of the shooting stools laying around to keep the mats in place.
