To our very own tittiger the definition of the perseverance of a Rifleman a great big HUZZAH!!!!!!! ^:)^ with a score of 212 that coveted patch is all yours baby.
FWIW Joe shot a 209 on the first AQT of the week and hovered like a moth at a light bulb in the 190 to 20ish range till finally pushing over the top. ..:..
Congrats indeed! I assume he has a spiffy new hat now?

Way to do Joe! Sorry I missed the patching ;). Woooooooh :~
The best part of the whole weekend was watching Joe take that patch. It's awesome to see a determined man succeed.
Great! A study in perseverance! ^:)^
This makes me happy :)
Congratulations Joe! Wish I could have been there.
I will, however, miss running endless AQTs with you ^-^
Thank you so much gentlemen.
Thanks for being there and so supportive. Without that
I am sure I would have called it quits. There were a heck of a lot of you
that coached and mentored me. ~~:) I don't even think I can remember
all of your names. But I give you all a very heart felt thanks for your dedication.
I can honestly say that you are collectively the finest group of people
that I have ever had the pleasure to associate with.
Thanks again....
Congratulations Joe. Persistence indeed. Well earned! O0
Well done Joe!!!
^:)^A round of Applause for JOE!!!! ..:.. Great Job and well deserved! ^:)^

It was a long road road Joe, but you hung in there and never gave up :bow: :bow: which is what it takes to succeed. I hope to see you come back next month and pick up one of those orange hats. Congrats again Joe you made my weekend even better ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^

Congrats, Joe! I don't know you from Adam but after this last weekend I can certainly appreciate the amount of effort you put into this. Will you be wearing an orange hat soon? Will you be doing the AQT "proper" at the distance range next?
Great work. I really like that phrase from the handout, it goes something like "A Rifleman Persists" or something like that. It is true and you earned it.

Albeit late, congrats Joe!
If you don't have a centerfire for KD, I would certainly let you use mine and throw in the ammo to boot.

Thanks much Jason I have an SKS as soon as I get some tech sights on it. I am not sure I can do it with iron sights but I am going to give it a try. :-)
