It was a wonderful weekend at the Central Florida Rifle and Pistol Club (CFRPC) in Orlando, FL. The range was dry after all the rain we had in Central Florida during the past two weeks. It was clear and sunny with light breezes. This is Fall in Florida!

Nine eager students arrived on time so we dove into the COF. Relays and five instructors gave us a perfect 1:1 ratio for lots of personalized coaching. We managed to make it to lunch Saturday with just 30 minutes given away to the time monkey. We made it up after lunch and cleared out before it started to get dark. That's the problem with DST in Eastern Florida--it's dusk by 5:30.

All the shooters had previous experience with pistols. Some had been to one of our APCs and some were with AGAG. That level of experience resulted in a very safe shoot. Two shooters, Bob and Kurt, cleared the Hits Count target Saturday morning. That set the tone for the day.

Old habits surfaced early and we were able to help them identify those they should break.  Some were less than satisfied with their performance but all showed improvement through the course and became confident in their pistol handling ability.

Sunday was started off with review of everything taught on Saturday. The students caught on to TPI immediately and the refresher went quick. We were able to shoot two PQTs before lunch. After lunch we ran some drills including the ever popular Whitlock Drill and completed two additional PQTs. Although none were able to clear the Hits Count Target the scores were better Sunday than Saturday.

We're forever thankful for the support we receive from CFRPC. It's a very welcoming club with fine facilities. I also appreciate the support from the volunteer instructors who made this event possible.

It was a very safe and fun event. I look forward to seeing these folks at another Pistolseed soon.

Looks like a great event with a lot of volunteers and good shooters - awesome.  Nice pictures too.  I hit the back arrow instead of closing the tab - I like the album of all the different shoots.

This looks like another great event at CFRPC!  It's wonderful to see some familiar AG&AG faces!!!
It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again" Ronald Reagan
