After a thorough investigation of the busses undercarriage. Captain America has successful passed his PCI. this weekend at the shoot in Nappanee, IN. Everyone help me in congratulating him on a job well done.

Now I know there were pictures taken of this so lets get them posted

Super Trooper

Congratulations Captain America. :beer:

Fun time is over, time to get back to work. ~~:)
The hardest distance to shoot is the six inches between your ears.  It gets easier when you get out of your own way.  Self doubt and negative self talk have no place on the firing line. 
Once a shot is gone... good or bad, it is gone.   Focus on the next one. Make forty good first shots.

Well done! Thanks for putting forth the effort to reach this level.   O0

Can't we all just agree to disagree in a civil fashion while the planet's last, fading hope of liberty and prosperity gets snuffed out?

No. We can't.

Captain America

Thank you all for the kind words. And in even better news, Jenna (Pepper Spray) finally got the patch with a score of 226! She has been working on this for four years, and when she started she was so small she couldn't even hold the rifle up without a sandbag. With the blessing of TPTB (The powers that be, you know who you are) she'd like to take an orange hat at the IBC.

Congratulations, Cap!  Wish I'd been there to see it--great job moving up this summer!

And congratulations to Pepper Spray!  She has certainly worked hard to shoot Rifleman; I'm glad she persisted and it paid off!  I know it's a great thing to have family workin' alongside you. 

PS.  In another thread you were asking about glass.  Try out my 10/22 with the Nikon Prostaff 4x32, give it a go in the backyard or some other appropriate venue; for the $110 range, it's a peach.
