We only had 1 day together but 15 patriots made the best of it despite a 100% chance of thunderstorms. After the safety briefing ( and bobcat sighting) and a morning redcoat Chuck A and Admiral Kirk did the first 2 strikes with the 3 strike presented at lunch. We had a good contingent of youth shooters - 7 to be exact and they did a great job. Actually everyone did a great job- some of the parents participated as shooters while a couple parents kept weather watch and acted as photographers. We got through all the drills and an AQT by mid afternoon and everyone wanted to keep shooting. A quick weather check showed we had time so we all packed up everything that needed to stay dry and got in another AQT that yielded a new rifleman with Christina shooting 213. Some pics and a few photos and we made it out before the storms rolled in.
Marksmanship improved across the board and we had great participation in the history presentations. It's a joy working with patriots such as these!
I'll get some pics up soon as I can
I have a great time every trip down to Perryville.
Great job shooters :F

Christina with her rifleman patch and our youth shooters. Pay no attention to the on that looks like Santa Claus
The Perryville range is the most picturesque in MO, a great place to shoot!
There were a couple of times we could smell the rain it was so close, but we stayed dry.
