AAR College Station TX June 4-5 2011

We held another event at the College Station Range (Cawthorn Cartridge Club, www.cccshooters.com) We had a low turnout, and a lot of heat. It reached 100 degrees both days.  4 shooters Saturday and two on Sunday. An Appleseed vetran, Tom, returned and continued to improve. He hit a high score of 240 and was happy to achieve it.  Carolyn also improved and reached into the 180's.  We sent 116 rounds down range on Saturday, and 211 on Sunday.
Hopefully we can get the word out and have more attendees at the next shoot in September.

Thanks to Baminal for helping out and for promoting to a Red Hat, and to Steve the host.

see you on the trail

Cool!

Glad to see Tom increasing his AQT threshold. 

I missed you guys, but I did have fun working with the ladies.

Boy, that was a hot weekend. College Station is a really nice place for a shoot too.

Wow, 240, that's some good shooting.

Did y'all have to 'rough it' in the cabin again?

I stayed with Baminal, Steve had others in the bunkhouse

Thanks to the dedication, patience and positive attitude of not only Joe, but the instructors at Davilla in April, my dear Carolyn is now 'on the trail' and looking forward to her next shoot.

Of course that means I'm on the hook to build her a dedicated 10-22, but I would have just blown the money on a Saiga anyway.

Oh, I guess I'll have to add balloons and helium to my shoot bag for a while

The ballons were a big help

Baminal - Congrats on the wife showing up and the RED HAT!

What's up with the ballons?

[Baminal]

You don't know about the balloon method?  I thought all you 'seasoned' red hats knew all the tips and tricks

At Davilla in April,  Carolyn got spoiled because her backer had the number 18 spray painted in orange about a foot tall, so it was painfully obvious which backer was hers (without having to look for the paper numbers).  Saturday in CS she was teasing that she missed her orange spray paint and was shooting around 120's 

  While we were setting up Sunday morning, I found this bunch of balloons stuck a ways up in a tree, retrieved them, and attached them to her target backer.  Now I'm not saying that this had anything to do with her shooting, but she ended the day in the mid 180's with Tom's custom 10/22

thus my intention to build her a custom 10/22, and put balloons in the range bag

Looks like you could use some of those pop-up shelters...
