Billy Click & Ryan Scheitheir Receive the Distinguished Expert Award from the Winchester/NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program
Dale Shank presented the awards at the March General Club Meeting. This particular award is for shooting a score of at least 190 out of 200, at 50 ft, 10 times, (not necessarily in a row). Below is a typical target. Each Bulls-eye is worth 10 points. So …. to get at least 190 points?….Well….that’s allot of Bulls-eyes!
Congratulations Boys!!! The 3F Club is PROUD of you!

The prone position is the steadiest and most comfortable of the shooting positions and the best field position to learn the fundamentals of rifle shooting. It is also the hardest position to assume.
The standing position (also referred to as the offhand position) is the least accurate and least stable of the four shooting positions from which to shoot, but sometimes is necessary.
REMEMBER YOUR GUN SAFETY; BE AWARE OF YOUR MUZZLE, FINGER OFF TRIGGER, KNOW YOUR TARGET and WHAT IS BEYOND IT! (In this case, the Cameraman!)
Learning to care for the firearm is just as important as learning to use it safely!
Everyone pitches in! Even the Boss!
