Rifle Guy, may I add a comment. Two years ago I took my nephew to the Garand Clinic at Perry. Since I did not attend the clinic myself I can not say what the instructors did or did not include in the clinic.

May I suggest when teaching the various positions of the match that the instructors emphasize the natural point of aim once they get into the position. While coaching on the firing line I saw to way many shooters that were had a problem getting on target. After having them adjust their shooting position and adjust for natural point of aim they were thrilled and felt good about shooting again. I had one fellow all over the target in prone and when he went to the sitting position his score went way up.

We still have room for a few more to attned our clinic, just send in your registration form and you'll be good to go. Also, we will take walk-ins to the limit of our seating.

Do remember the the JCG match that follws is not just for the students, it is an open match for everyone interested.

See you on line,
