    She qualified... and then some.

    Today was shooting day for Mrs.Thumbcocker at the CCW class. Here is her target.

    According to her, the instructor was impressed. A 62 year old woman with bifocals shooting a (gasp and clutch pearls) revolver. She tied for second place in the class with another woman. The first place shooter beat them by one point.

    This was done with home cast boolits.

    That's great.

    That flyer out in the 7 ring did her in.

    Prob her first shot.
    My first shot is always like that then it tightens up.
    Don't like being hammered by the Cast Boolits Staff, then don't be a nail.
    The rules are simple to follow.

    What distance is required for your ccw quals? I think ours is 10 yds or so, and a 70% score.

    Nope, I looked it up 7yds max. 6 at 3, 12 at 5, 12 at 7yd..... not real challenging..
