Ladyseed back on track after losing the Spring event due to Covid 19 restrictions.  We had 9 very excited shooters. Some had never handled a rifle, some had done very little and some were repeat attendees to Ladyseed events. 
The weather was perfect.  For once it did not rain on a Ladyseed in Virginia! 
The pace was slow, but effective.  The groups being shot during the period of instruction were impressively small, some had all their shots in the black square by the 5th square.  Adding the different positions and transitions was difficult for some, but they all persevered and found seated positions that worked for them.  Muzzle disciple was worked on and everyone was very safety conscious .
The Three Strikes of the Match were met with great attention and excellent questions. 

All in all a very successful weekend.  And the attendance of Brandy the Range dog at lunch was an amusing addition to the weekend. :)
