Well the weather was warm and a bit smoky. But that didn't stop 22 folks from coming out to Sacramento Valley Shooting Center for a great weekend of learning.
This was a group determined to learn and to improve each and every time they went back to the line. It was great to see the beginners really begin to improve and even those who had been shooting for many years began to see that what we were teaching helped a great deal.
Lunch and some awesome history gave everyone a break from the heat and filled stomachs with food and minds with history.
Back on the firing line it was back to filling minds with marksmanship techniques.
Due to time constraints we weren't able to get in an AQT or the end of day Red Coat. We did finish up the day with the 3rd strike and closing comments.
Sunday saw 15 returning students. Those who were not able to make it back out, you were missed, hope to see you again sometime.
Morning Red Coat and review proved that the night time reboot of brains and bodies worked. Again, this group of students was determined. Micheal K, 12 yrs old, discovered that this stuff really worked! He focused on what he was doing and found that he ended up with a tiny group...2 shots in one hole and the other 3 right next to those. Great job Michael.
Lunch and the stories gave us all a break. Then it was on to AQT's. Nice work to everyone.
Congrats to Michael C who turned in the only Rifleman score of 213!!!! There were a few others knocking on the door. Keep practicing!!
Thank you all for coming out. Hope to see you all out again sometime soon...with friends!!
