It was a a great weekend at the CMP's Talladega Marksmanship Park (TMP)!

On Saturday morning, ten shooters joined us at the finest rifle range in the nation. After some time in the classroom, we moved out to Range Two to confirm zero's and get in some standing practice. As it got warmer, we took a break to cover target detection & range estimation... then off to Range Five for practical exercises in the same. Despite the heat, the day went astonishingly quickly!

Dinner, of course, was Mexican food at Rana's.

Sunday morning arrived and we met in the classroom for some discussion and then moved to Range 1 for the rest of the day. It's there that our shooters showed what they were about. Congratulations to our EIGHT KD Riflemen:

Nathan (from Alabama, NEW RIFLEMAN & KD RIFLEMAN! HUZZAH!

)
Little Buddy (from Ohio, New KD Rifleman)
Yankee (from Ohio, New KD Rifleman)
Charley (from Ohio, Requal)
Jody (from Alabama, New KD Rifleman)
Spencer (from Kentucky, New KD Rifleman)
GlockMike (from Alabama, New KD Rifleman)
Dan (from Alabama, New KD Rifleman)

So.. about Sunday mid-afternoon, Little Buddy, Yankee, and Charley needed to get on the road. They had a long drive back to Ohio. At that point both Charley and Spencer were tied for high score of the day, 49/50. But less than an hour later, Spencer rocked out at perfect 50/50! Well done, Spencer!

Thank you to all the shooters and instructors who came out. A special thanks to our hosts at the TMP, especially Don Rutherford, Sarah, and Ben. You guys are awesome. It's always a pleasure to come visit!

I hope to see each of you on the line soon... and remember... Liberty, yo!
