We had a full line at Bench Rest Rifle Club this weekend, and the range was in great shape as usual. Saturday's weather was like summer, warm in the upper 80's and plenty of sun.
We got started and when we tallied up the first redcoat of the weekend, Michael had cleared it! :F Once we went through the fundamentals and one AQT, we already had two shooters re-qualify. Troy with a 224 and Sarah with a 213!
Sunday's weather was breezy and cool with high temp of only 65, nice midwest autumn weather. We did some review and started cranking out the AQT's and we got 2 new riflemen. Jonas shot a 228 and Josh came in with a 211. Great shooting guys!
Also on Sunday, Russell finally took an Orange Hat! He is an excellent shooter and always has a great attitude. I'm looking forward to working with you.
Special thanks to Troop 661, you have a great group of young men and adult leaders. Welcome back anytime!
As usual, I really like to tell the story of the weekend with pictures so keep checking back. Also, if anyone has pictures or comments to share, please do so!
What happens before shooters show up Saturday morning.
