We had a great event at the Whittington Center in Raton NM; our last event of the year at this outstanding venue. We had 2 Red Hats from AZ make the long drive to join us for an action packed fun filled weekend too.
The goal of the weekend was to verify come ups for each individual rifle and ammo at the known distances and to shoot a full distance AQT.
On Saturday we worked on verifying our zeros at 25 and then checked to see how that compared to the POI at 300 yards. Comeups were introduced and then verified at 200. The focus for the morning was building a solid shooting position and fine tuning the 6 Steps, NPOA, & shooting Riflemans Cadence.
Sunday morning we reviewed homework and then we set up the targets and backers for our full distance AQTs. Once we got rolling things moved along quickly. The position of the targets at 400 introduces some fishy winds so some folks got surprised when their groups got ‘blown out'. We had 2 rifleman re-qualify to the Rifleman standard
Props to Joe, Ray, Caleb, Frank, David, Jacob. All of you were super attentive and motivated to improve your shooting. Keep practicing the skills we worked on during the event.
