What a great weekend with a great group of south Florida folks. We had 15 shooters come out to shoot and learn about our great history on this one day shoot at the Hollywood Rifle and Pistol club. After safety and passing out many loaner rifles we were ready for our first red coat. With only 5 of 15 shooters getting 3 rounds in any target we knew we had work to do.
Off to our squares targets. Boy those one inch squares look small, dont they?
One day events are fast paced but it was a cool day so we pushed hard. Groups are startling to close up. A little IMC and we are getting a target. Our first demo of the day was graced by two resident foxes. Fun to see them considering we are downtown.
Our rifleman persisted all day without one word of complaint. By the time our first AQT was complete 10 of the 15 shooters were turning in scores above 125 making marksman out of them.
At the end of the day 14 out of 15 shooters landed 3 rounds in at least one of the red coat targets. A huge improvement over the morning. We only revealed two Rifleman this weekend. Vic with a high score of 225 and Sauer with a 212.
Congrats go out to Nestor, Isabel, Steven, and Devin that all turned in scores in the sharpshooter category.
I hope to see many of you back April 18 and 19. many of you are knocking on the door of Rifleman.
Thank you to all of the instructors for an awesome day of marksmanship and history and to the Hollywood Rifle and Pistol Club for hosting us. My son Nestor and I had a fantastic time. A special thank you goes to Miss Wendy for taking the time during a fast-paced program to help me learn how to find my NPOA, to assume proper shooting positions, and to implement the six steps of firing a shot. I got a lot to practice!
What a great day!! Loved it, loved it, loved it. Congrats to our Riflemen, to the others, keep working at it, and we'll see ya at the next one!
