...but I did some shooting last Friday

Training up with a few fellas to get 'with the program' and be on the same page as the rest of the instructors.

The pistol CoF was interesting; but I have a few new tips ta learn. The tricks worked well until it went down to the 10rd/2.5 sec/2.5 yd line. I sorta Zen'd it and fell back on my own style. Kept 'em in the bulll and within time; but alas.... didn;t do the "depress, recover, reset" like I shoulda.
Gotta work on that!

The carbine side of the day was right kewl. All others were sporting various incarnations of the AR-16. Yers Truly, being sans AR, was only toting "Shorty" Held my own and din't fugk anything or anybody up...so's it was a good run! I *did* beg off from some of the 'move'n'shoot' stuff, as I din't think any would take too kindly to a nekkid 7.62 going off near thier noggins. No... really.. I wasn't right comfortable with that particular scenario.. and discretion being the better part... yanno?

They mighta gotten off a few more rounds; but when the steel started clangin'....

Neither the SF Sargeant /instructor nor the SF Capt./participant bitched me out, so all's good. I even threw in a (n inadvertent, but) timely IA drill.

Just shows ta go ya.....
Old guys/ guns and gear can still run with the young'uns.... just not as fast or long!

Perchance they'll even have some pix up by now???

I'm sure you rocked'em - I love showing up to things like that and being the only battle rifle present.

I'd love to see the look on their faces when you did CQB with a .308 - I can see why you declined.

I'm shooting the FNH 3 Gun Championships in September, and you bet I'm using the Rhodie.

We'll see how I fare against the other Heavy Metal competitors.
