Hurlburt Field, 17 shooters on Saturday, only 13 returned for Sunday. 6 new Riflemen, 3 requalified and one new IIT taking the Orange Hat. We had a Dad Kevin, mom Brandy and 11 year old daughter Kyla score Rifleman (at least three times apiece). A young family! I'm heavily trying to recruit. ^:)^

AQT special Holloween version
Shooters at Hurlburt Field, Eglin AFB, are members of a private club or guests -- therefore usually with some experience and unusually receptive to good instruction. The instructor cadre is very experienced, and where students are open to it, here's what happened: well more than half the line qualified as new Riflemen (often three and four times each) and several re-qualifiers. We always use lots of Q&DAQT targets at Hurlburt Field, but it's not grinding. Dedicated shooters putting multiple pieces together, that's never a grind. Fine people.
