Two things...
Firstly, I wanted to update my status - I have completed the Marksman 1st Class Course of Fire.
And, I was wondering if we will have available - for purchase of course - some more AP-1 target packs?
Thanks

I finished my Distinguished Expert for 9mm pistol in early June and received my official packet yesterday. The turn around time was about 4 weeks which was better than expected.

Quick question for everyone who is pursuing the DE ranking in Defensive Pistol I/II. How do you do the shooting drills that require movement and shooting from cover at the range?

Good New, Bad News.....

Burbank will be starting this program in earnest in August. I found out some great info but could not move fast enough to rock and roll it this week. Mainly because I travel for my job.

Also, I misspoke when I said we could qualify rifle in Burbank. Not long enough in distance there.

SOOOOOOOOOO, forgive me, but August Burbank will be busy with paper work, maybe some patches and paraphernalia related to the program. Pistols only.

You can shoot DPI up to sharpshooter at an indoor range like Burbank, but past that and including DPII, you'll have to complete those ratings at an outdoor range that allows movement and drawing from a holster.

I am so going to miss the Vandenberg AFB Rod & Gun Club. I haven't yet gone to the range here, but I'm not looking forward to all these "rules" like that. I've actually done shooting at a brisk pace, from a holster, whatever. Ahh, maybe I'll just go to the mountain and shoot.

If you're starting from nothing, what's the best way to prep for it?

Should I still get the Spongebob plates?

Read and understand the stages before you start them.
Practice off handed (2 hand) and one handed (each side)

The IE chapter has a good break down of all the ranks requirements and how to fill out the score sheet:

My I understanding of the rules is you have to shoot the same caliber all the way through. Is that correct?

The same caliber and type (auto loader or revolver). If your gun breaks you can swap in another that is the same caliber and type.

For the sake of ammo cost, then, it may behoove me to get a .22LR? I was going to get one eventually, but it sounds like I may want to do it sooner rather than later.

Or just proceed with the 9mm for now and reshoot the early stages in .22LR later.

Would it be OK to go from ProMarksman to as far as I can qualify once with a semiauto and then start over and do it again with a revolver?

I'm definitely interested... can I ask where and when? I seem to have missed that, or where to find the details at least.

If I am looking to become a certified instructor, does this cover the qualifications for marksmanship required for the instructor needs?

Yes, you can go through the courses as much as you want for fun, but the awards are for the pistol, rifle, self defense disciplines and are not distinguished by action or ammunition type.

With that said there were many whop went through it with a rimfire, and then went through it again with the HD caliber\gun just to prove they could.

Default On the Same Day?

I'm confused by the wording for the levels Marksman First Class and above. It says the stages "have to be completed in one session" but not "on the same day"? What defines a "session" ? The part in bold seems contradictory to me. Can someone explain this please? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

This is conducted in two stages. Both stages must be completed in one session to qualify as one completed course of fire.
(1.) Strong Side - Five targets with 10 shots each in 6 minutes.
(2.) Weak Side - Five targets with 10 shots each in 6 minutes.
*A total of 10 shots per target. Possible score per target 100.
- Course of Fire & Rating Requirement: Shoot 10 targets, 5 with a score of 46 or better, and 5 with a score of 56 or better. The ten targets do not have to be fired in succession or on the same day. So you cannot shoot all strong side one one day, and all week side on another.

Basically, the key here is NOT to shoot all left handed one day, and all right handed on another. But you can do a quarter or half right handed and quarter to half left handed and then finish on a following day.

You can do it!!!

I think he meant weak/strong hand. Unfortunately for me BOTH hands are weak!

The most active monthly shoots that run the program are Ventura Country at Island View, San Fernando Valley at The Firing Line in Burbank, and Orange County at On Target.

I finally got around to shooting Distinguished Expert this Friday with a 9mm, witnessed by Patricia. All 200's and one 198! Better than I did in practice using SIRT and the LASR scoring program!

Congrats to Milan and Walter! They both kicked some butt!! I sent an E Mail to Claudia who runs the program in Fairfax, seeing what info we need to supply, and if I can order the packet from her.

Don't be sorry, it's a great accomplishment for all those involved.

The standings have been updated. If anyone is not listed, either send me a PM, or post in this thread and will get you added.

Oh, wow, this thread got stale. Here's hoping it comes back from the dead.

I don't know about the other locations, but the SFV is still making progress on the Winchester/NRA quals. At our last meeting we had some shooters starting on plates.

I'm going for Distinguished Expert next Friday. Wish me bullseyes!
