Las Cruces Event 4-10/11-10

[TaosGlock]

Another great NM shoot!
This one was held at the Las Cruces Butterfield Range.
11 shooters showed up and we finished registration by 9.
Ages ranged from 17-71


BlueFeather explains the Redcoat target. This target finally answers the question "what is my effective range?" 40% of the shooters who have shot this target for the first time don't usually qualify even at 100 yards. If you want to be effective to 500 yards, what we call the "Rifleman's Quarter Mile",  you better get to an Appleseed.

The seated position. duc-dog, Boomer_EOD and staplegund instruct the line.




The shooters below do transitions from standing to sitting change for Stage 2 of the AQT. 10 rounds in about one minute on 2 targets that represent a 200 yard shot.
The shooters along with instructors Boomer_EOD, SamD and BlueFeather get ready for the "Fire" command.

Shooter problems were cured and detected with this drill.



At the target line analyzing targets. How big is my group and where is my group?



The standing position as demoed by SamD and staplegund. Standing is the least stable position but is the fastest to acquire and often the one used most in the field.



More instruction on the line. SamD staplegund and duc-dog


Prep period for standing to prone. 10 rounds in about a minute with a mag change on 3 targets that qualify you to 400 yards.


History at lunch time BF gives them the first strike, SamD gave the second and I did the 3rd.

This beautiful range is located at the base of the Gunsite Mountains.
As the sun sets over the front and rear sight of the Gunsight Mountains on the second day, we complete yet another successful New Mexico shoot.
And a hearty thanks to all of the volunteer instructors, and especially our newest: Boomer_EOD!!
