Another good shoot at Black Creek Shooting Range (Mechanicsville, Va.) and a first for Virginia. Shooter "Ian" shot all of the AQTs to a high Rifleman level, most of them "Distinguished", and on the last AQT of the day scored a 250!!!!! Among the list were a pair of 248s and a 246. Perseverance and persistence marked his efforts. His targets were among the best I have ever scored and the first 250 that I have personally witnessed. Huzzahs for an outstanding effort and result!
He was not the only successful shooter for our weekend, Steven managed 2 "Rifleman" scores and Lauren and Benjamin both added Rifleman patches to their wardrobe! It was a fine spring weekend in Virginia! I am not sure I can remember a standard Appleseed with a 66% Rifleman outcome.
All this was possible with a great instructor crew! Congrats to Aurelian moving up to IIT3 and many thanks to BrotherPilot, JL, and BillP_556 for carrying the load on the shoot. You guys made my job easy as SB.
Not only did Ian score a perfect 250 on SUNDAY during the AQT grind (when prep times are short), but also shot a perfect 245, with the miss coming from a slam fire on his .22 rifle. That was the best marksmanship I've seen on a Sunday at Appleseed!
