Marksmanship Training

Today is target practice with the Nerf pistols. It became readily apparent that lack of shooting experience seemed to compensate for the inaccuracy of the nerf bullets.  The granddaughter's scored more hits that the experienced shooters.

Preparing the nerf bullet. The grey ones had to be painted orange so we could find the errant ones in the bushes and on the gravel. Half were already orange.

Lessons on loading the nerf gun.

Possession in nine tenths.....

Crafting is also involved in creating targets.

Aiming is also an important lesson.
