Monticello, MN AAR - August 11, 2024 - Pistol Clinic

[ProudPapa14]

Twelve friendly people gathered at the Monticello Sportsmen Club range to learn more about our heritage and work on their marksmanship with a pistol.  We spent the day learning about both speed and accuracy with our pistols.  Everyone showed great attitudes and willingness to learn.  While we didn't mint any new Pistoleer™s, we did see improvement until the heat wore most out. 

Thank you to the host range - Monticello Sportsmen Club - for allowing the use of the range and clubhouse. 

Thank you to the participants - you are why we host events - getting the privilege of sharing our heritage and providing marksmanship instruction makes for awesome days with my fellow Americans.  Keep up the dry-fire practice and range practice as able and I hope to see you at an event in the near future where you will earn those Pistoleer™ patches.

Well done fellow instructors - thank you for being the steady influences you always are.

Pictures to come.

To all - a huge thank you for spending a Sunday with us.  I hope each of you continue to practice your marksmanship and shooting skills.  They are perishable skills that need to be trained and maintained.

Shannon.
