Sunshine was nowhere to be found at Pitt County Wildlife Club during our Appleseed Pistol Clinic!  Despite the calls for foul weather (which was in abundance), eight students joined the cadre for a day full of history, comradery, and pistol marksmanship.  Solid application of grip, stance, and steady hold factors helped make student shot groups get smaller.

Though the weather made circumstances more difficult, it was the infectiously positive student attitudes that carried the day! After all was said and done, two students emerged from the pack to become Pistoleer™s!  Congratulations to Rowan and Justin!

Thanks again for making this a worthwhile event.  Hope to see everybody on the firing line again soon!

Teaching grip, stance, and steady hold factors:


Water?  What water?


Wind and wet ground playing havoc with the target line.


A break from marksmanship to tell history.


OH BY THE WAY - Somebody received their 50 event recognition pin!

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.�
― Hyman G. Rickover
