This past weekend I attended a Known Distance Appleseed at the CMP Marksmanship Park.
What a great event. All the instructors were awesome. One of them was a physicist that works with the military designing systems to protect our choppers from surface to air. Excellent class on wind drift and trajectory from her.
As most of you already know, the CMP range is fantastic! Damn I wish I lived closer to it. What a nice facility. We had a shooter from CMP that has probably forgotten more about shooting than I could ever hope to know come and give a talk about shooting distance. Very educational.
My efforts in putting together a rifle were not in vain. I was able to qualify. Wore my ODT shirt to represent. Fortunately I did not bring shame upon the house . All in all, had a blast. Also met some great folks as I do at every Appleseed.
