Title: Lewistown, PA, Mifflin County Sportsman"s Association May, 4-5, 2013
Post by: Charles McKinley on May 06, 2013, 12:15:02 AM
Another great weekend in Lewistown.  A special thanks to the club for the use of their wonderful covered range and 1000, yes, THOUSAND YARD range.  We only tried out the 500 yard side but it is still wonderful to show that it does work even if it is taking you .22 out to 100.

Thanks to Vicky, Liz and Mike for making the drive.  They all had wonderful attitudes and applied the lessons well.  The groups are there the speed and timing for stage will come.  A Rifleman Persists!

Thanks to the IITs David and Steve that stepped up and saved a lonely shoot boss with 3 students.  You both did great!

I had a great time, and from someone who never shot a rifle before, in my opinion this was THE BEST way to learn. 

Will pass the word on to friends and family. O0

Sure wish I could have made this shoot with you folks,,,

The Mifflin County Sportsman's Accociation Range is the best range I have been to bar none,

Great pictures Vicky looks like we may have some up and coming instructors for PA

Did you see my friend,,,,, black snake?

I'm afraid I did see your friend.  Unfortunately he had met the wrong side of the tread along the dirt and stone path to the range...   :slap:

Yes MCSA is a great range.  As I mentioned in a PM to SgtRock they are doing major range improvements to the KD range.

Catapiller D6 bulldozer kind of improvements to the 1000, yes THOUSAND, yard range.  This was already a very nice range.

Lets fill the lines.

By the way, Liz almost clean the Redcoats on the Sunday morning  course of fire, just a hair outside of the 300 yard.

I guess it clashed with her nail polish...  haha

But like Steve (IIT) had mentioned, it is really cool (and easy) to see trigger finger movement with the nail polish...

Maybe the shoot bosses should carry a bottle of bright red for others to observe...   **)
