Ten students on the line, for the 1st of two, of our 200 yrd Rimfire events of the 2019.  HOT, HUMID, and a true endurance test! After getting 50 yrd zeros, we verified 100,150, & 200 yard come ups at the 50 yard line;  Proceeded to the 200 yard line, and verified them again at distance.. Then on to the steel targets, using the "hits count" with a 50 round course of fire.  At the end of the day, SIX out of TEN students made Rifleman... yup, you read that right...

As a side note, one student shot with iron sights on a Marlin Model 60 with Tech Sites.. While he had technical issues that ultimately required him to switch to a loaner rifle, we DID VERIFY that there are enough click available with this sight/rifle combination to successfully use it for a 200 yard event!

Thank to all the students, volunteers, and host club (Delmarva Sportsmans Assc) for facilitating & participating in this event! A true test of stamina in the grueling heat.

Where is there information on our AS site concerning other KD courses at less than 400 yards, including target sizes.  I have heard  that even out to 100 is approved for qualification

I feel this may be best answered via PM.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"
- Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe
