Catch-10-22

Great sold-out shoot with beautiful weather this weekend in Annapolis. We had 22 students who worked very hard to improve the whole weekend. In addition to the Smyrna High School AFJROTC, we had several families, including one that traveled all the way from Norfolk, VA!

We ran relays all weekend but were still able to get three AQTs for most of the participants and 5-6 for a few folks who were able to shoot both relays without a mat partner. We appreciate everyone's patience and perseverance.

We had TWO newly minted Riflemen (one a Riflewoman) to add to the Maryland cadre:

- Jade L qualified on her first AQT and came very close on the next two. She definitely knows what she is about!

- Brian M qualified on two different AQTs

Prior Rifleman Jonathan H changed back from a scoped rifle to his trusty Tech Sights 10/22 requalified with irons and cleaned two consecutive Red Coats on Sunday - we gave him three Huzzahs!

We had a lot of people close in the 190s and 200s, even one 207 that was just oh...so...close. Wonderful attentiveness from our large number of youth shooters who all showed significant progress during the weekend. Each had a really good target in different stages and just need to put it altogether at a future shoot.

Special thanks to our host range, AAFG, which was once again a perfect place for a shoot. Thanks to Mark and the AFJROTC program - really impressive kids. Also special thanks to our instructor Etervigila who was a dynamo on both days while fighting a cold. And many thanks from a grateful Shootboss to ABCGarand and BeSwift for helping us get off to a great start on Saturday.

It was a very rewarding shoot for the instructors and we could not have been prouder of the participants. Hope to see you all at a shoot in the near future!!!!
