A perfect weather weekend at the Saltwaters Shooting Club in St. Augustine, Florida. Clear skies and pleasant temperatures in the 70s made it a joy to be outside.

After presenting all the shooting basics, we watched as all the shooters made steady progress over the weekend. You can't ask for a better reward than seeing people improve their skills and being a part of their progress.
Dmitry got a double rifleman's score with a solid 211 and then an excellent 232. Huzza!

Adam showed constant improvement over the two days and was 'knocking at the door' with Sharpshooter's scores of 198, 199, 200 (twice) and ending with a 208. So close; next time for sure!

Lucy (Dmitry's daughter) was our other Sharpshooter of the weekend with a score of 172. She had a great learning attitude and I'm sure will get her Rifleman's patch at her next Appleseed.
Kruise got better and better and by the end of Sunday was handling and cycling his bolt action rifle with proficiency and authority. His steady improvement got him up to a score of 92. Nice job Kruise!
It's always a pleasure to present Junior Patches to our young shooters.

Again, thank you to all the shooters for participating and to instructors Randy and Ed for their great jobs. Well done!
Great Job :F
Nice job, HD, but if we was playing poker, I think we beat ya'll... just what was that gentleman's bet, any-who?
the minnesotarabit wants to know....

I guess I'll have to concede since we only had 25% (1 out of 4) qualify as a Rifleman! (Does it help that he shot Rifleman twice?) Oh well, I'll bring the two boxes of CCI shells to Flagler this weekend!
I am going to call this a tie or conceded the victory to you. We had a rifleman Reqal several time and another knocking on the door.
Randy Ed and You minted a new rifleman. Ill have The AAR up soon and you can decided for your self. :F
