We planned a Patriot's Day Known Distance Celebration... and boy we had one. It was a crazy weekend. Thunderstorms, flooding, threats of tornadoes... and even 30-40 MPH wind gusts on the long distance range!
Every shooter stuck the weekend out... personifying the idea that a Rifleman persists! To everyone who came out and shot with us this weekend... y'all are awesome. On behalf of the entire instructor crew, I hope we served you well.
I am very grateful to the management and staff of the CMP's Talladega Marksmanship Park. You guys are first class all the way.
Wreck, Mike & Wiley... thanks for serving at this event. Guys like you make these clinics easy! O0
Rather than drone on and on... I'm gonna share pictures. :)

Doping the wind with 40 MPH gusts means holding over a target backer or two. Great learning opportunity!
