New event for 2015 Q.

Exciting New Tommy Two Shoes Shooting Event at 2015 Q

You might have recently read in the November 2014 issue of Motorhome Magazine a feature named "7 Adventures and Sports for RVers." One of the 7 described was shooting.

When we started the Shootouts at the Q many years ago, I had in mind reinforcing the ubiquitous rules of gun safety for all RVers that carried weapons for competition, fun, or self-defense. Those rules are:

1. Treat all firearms as if they were loaded
2. Never point a firearm at anyone or anything you are not willing to put a bullet through
3. Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot
4. Know your target and what is beyond it

We added one unofficial rule to the above; make sure your weapon is operable and you can operate it. We were astonished by the number of weapons that failed to function and the weapons that the owners could not shoot for various reasons. All in all, hundreds of Q attendees have enjoyed the training of our expert, Rick Patteson, our instructor from the beginning.

We have strived to improve this event to keep it interesting. This year, Rick is offering a special session, "AR-15 Familiarization and Proficiency" where rifles and ammunition are provided. Students will learn safety and operational features of this rifle, marksmanship fundamentals, and how to hit human-sized silhouette targets at 50 yards and 150 yards.

This class is structured to be a fun and learning event intended to provide an experience with an easy to operate, small caliber, but high power, semi-automatic rifle. If you already own an AR-15, please join us to enhance your skills. Remember to bring ear and eye protection. A mat to sit or lie on is highly recommended.

This program should last about 3 hours. The cost per person is $50.00 payable to Rick Patteson. We would like to get a count of how many are interested. If you plan to attend this event, please indicate your intent by email to Tommy Two Shoes at tom.mccarthy44@gmail.com.
