We had a GREAT time!  Nine hardy souls braved the -fine- spring day to come out and learn some pistol marksmanship and some history.  DeadAnt and Messer helped out immensely, with general instruction, coaching, and telling of the Second and Third Strikes of the Match, respectively. 

We started off with the pistol RedCoat target and moved on into instruction.  Ball and Dummy was a big hit and we ended up running the ball and dummy drill three times, and saw significant improvements from each run.  We closed the day with Big Dot / Little Dot, won by Ben, a PQT, and the final Red Coat. The final Red Coat showed real improvement from everyone at the event. 

Looking forward to the next shoot!

I enjoyed this pistol clinic - great group of students!

I think we covered a lot for a one day event, and I think all of the student learned a lot.

I hope to see them on the range again.

Stay Vigilant,
