We had a good shoot at the Georgia Gun Owners Association Twin Oaks Range. 

There were two shooters Lee and Beth who both came in effective at 300 yards with head shots on the initial Redcoats.  Both had been to a clinic before, and Lee already had his patch.  We managed to get the range manager, Stump (and his pet gnats), down for a couple AQTs on Sunday as well before the sunny 90 degree day drove him into the AC. 

Lee posted a number of confirmation scores in the 120s.  Next time I'm sure we'll see the fruits of his dry-fire practice in consistent follow through.  (Hold that trigger back!)

We also had a short technical riflery presentation on Sunday and then went out to 100 yards and verified scaling of groups and come-ups (for .22s) and come-downs (for 30s).

I am hopeful that Beth will persevere to bring her top score of 187 up the the Rifleman standard.  We wish her well in basic training starting later this year.

This facility is excellent, and we extend our appreciation for the great hospitality we experienced.

We were also very pleased to have Applacious among the instructors---it's been too long since we've worked together.  The other instructors were Wy Knott and WorM2.  And we also appreciate the help of our blue hat helper Leah who helped call the line on Sunday.

I'll let others add details as they see fit.

P.S. One detail I'll add.  Wy Knott and WorM2 posted a number of confirmation scores.  Wy Knott was pleased enough to ask her father:  "Can I get an AR now?"
It is certain, I think, that the best government is the one that governs least. But there is a much-neglected corollary: the best citizen is the one who least needs governing. The answer to big government is not private freedom, but private responsibility.

The problem is not Democrats.  The problem is Republicans who lack the intellectual clarity to become libertarians and libertarians who lack the physical discipline to become riflemen.  ---Kenneth Royce

Kudos to the Georgia instructor crew. Dublin is a good range especially with the hospitality of letting us stay free in the clubhouse for the event. Now if they could just move that restroom closer to the AS firing line.....  ;D
