Where to begin....  4 Perfect Scores 250  by 3 different shooters using different Rifles and Ammo.... 100% of Students Earn Riflemen.... 75% Earn Distinguished 240+  All students clear the Redcoat to earn the exclusive MD Immortal 400 Patch...

As an instructor, this was by far, the most successful and talented bunch of shooters I've ever had on the line at the same time... Think Dream Team... An honor and a pleasure to witness the skill of these folks, digging deep, and achieving the almost unthinkable...

THANK YOU to all the students, volunteers and host club Mt Washington Rod n Gun/ Associated Gun Clubs of MD at Marriottsville, MD for making this event the greatest success I've ever seen, in my years with the program...

Most remarkable, and USNAVYCHIEF (RET) did it 250 with a bolt action!  He had been psyched for this for weeks.  Well done BeSwift!   Congratulations to all the shooters, but especially those 250 and distinguished.

Now that is amazing. Absolutely.

Curious - my best was a 248. Some flyers took me out of the running. Not real bad flyers but just enough to lose some points.

I've only seen a handful of 250s and all were using match ammo. Which to me has a ridiculous price. Too ridiculous to make me want to buy it.  Heck I'm happy anytime I can get in the 240s.

So the question is - were they using standard ammo or match grade? What type of rifles? Custom or stock?

Shooter 1:   Tikka super high dollar bolt action, with SK match ammo
Shooter 2:   Moderately upgraded 10/22 (nothing crazy) with CCI Standard ammo
Shooter 3:   AR with dedicated 22LR Upper, but set up like a service competition rifle (weights, etc)  Also CCI Standard ammo
All were HP rifle competitors, so very experienced shooters... All shot a number of 248-249 just about all day long until they got bored and changed to Springfield 1922's for fun...
All were running optics... (as were all prior 250's in MD)...

It was truly an honor and privilege to spend two days on the line with these amazing shooters. As an IIT, I truly appreciate how easy they made scoring for us, and seeing multiple perfect scores shot was eye opening.

I'm pretty sure I had very little to do with it... Maybe helped guide a few non-250 shooters to get over the hump....

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

This instructor's dream is to take someone who has never fired a rifle to >210, but maybe that's just me ¯\_(ãƒ,,)_/¯
