When in the course of human events 11 fine awakening Americans converge on the El Paso Community College - Law Enforcement Training Academy for a Project Appleseed History, Heritage and Rifle Marksmanship Clinic grand things are bound to happen.
Due to a scheduling conflict within the Community College, we were unable to get on to the range before 10:00 am. At that time we took to the range like thirsty folks take to water. We got our introductory Red Coat filled out and then retired back to the classroom for more history heritage and the steady hold factors for the prone position. At 11:00 a License to carry class took the range at noon we were back to the range. Everything proceeded smoothly from there and we were on the way home soon after 5:00pm.
Sunday was a new day! We proceeded quickly through our refresher of the safety rules, safe rifle and the line commands. After our first Red Coat and 2 AQT's were back to the classroom for lunch, Brave Women and Dangerous Old Men stories. Our afternoon was filled with AQT"S and a final Red Coat, Range cleaning and the ever so popular Awards Ceremony. For our only rifleman score of the weekend, Jose requalified with a 235. Several of our participants were in the Sharpshooter category with 9 year old Axel shooting an Expert score from a rest. We parted ways hoping to see each other again soon, at the Known Distance Clinic schooled for October.
"till we meet again", Farewell,

You guys and your range with A/C. I was thinking about you this weekend while in 105-107 degrees heat. And the sun. And the humidity. I'm jealous. **)
However - leaving El Paso a few weeks ago and it was stinkin' 114 - gotta have that A/C.
Hope y'all had a good time.
I don't know . . . after a weekend in Laramie I don't know if I'd want to shoot any place with winds less than 35 mph. How do you simulate a proper wind in that "dungeon of shooting"?
Seriously though, I am starting to see the wisdom of your ways down there in the Mountains of Texas. I can't wait to make a shoot there!
Excepting the range being double booked I think it was an excellent shoot.
Thanks to all the shooters who came out and worked their butts off.
