Well, this Instructor-Only, One-Day Pistol Clinic featured some HOT shooting in some COLD weather! Too bad there is no Winterseed patch for the Pistol program.
We had a preview of things to come when 3 of our 5 students hit Pitcairn's Button and 2 cleared the Hits Count target. Considering that the outside (where we were shooting) temperature was only slightly above freezing at that time, OBVIOUSLY things were going to heat up! When the last empty casing had hit the cold concrete floor all 5 of the students had earned a Pistoleer™ patch:
jiminbolivar - 217, 221
NavyShooter - 218, 214
bcurfman - 227
Yates - 212, 213
Crazyduckhunter - 217
Yates won the first run of the "Big Dot/Little Dot Challenge" with bcurfman and jiminbolivar running three seconds behind, and also the second run of the "Challenge", with bcurfman and jiminbolivar running less than two seconds behind.
Many thanks to Mingo Rod and Gun Club for letting us use their facilities on this chilly January weekend, both for the Pistol Clinic today and the Pistol Instructor Boot Camp tomorrow. If you're hungry, drop by tomorrow. The guys brought WAY too much food!
