Jerry-Atrics 1

The March 12, 2007 match at Albany Rifle and Pistol club is unofficially called the "Mothers Day" match. The squad I shot in is unofficially called the "Geriatrics Squad", because there were only a few of the 12 squadmembers who didn't fit into a Senior or SuperSenior category.

One of the non-senior shooters, John, is featured in several of the videos I plan to present and I gave him the URL for this website so he could watch his performance objectively.

There are a lot of videos of his shooting in this six-part series (officially completed as soon as YouTube comes back online and I can upload this video), but this one is especially interesting.

John ... seemed to have broken the rules.
The rules are, shoot the paper targets over the bar, shoot the steel under the bar.
He took a shot over the bar after he had APPARENTLY completed engaging all paper targets. Worse, the round hit the berm just over the steel target array.

Go look at the video. You be the RO. What would you do?
