Happy New Year! This year I have a personal goal, and I challenge everyone else to join me.
The Winchester/NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program is a self improvement marksmanship program, but I'll let them describe themselves:
They have a number of disciplines including various forms of pistol from the most basic to defensive to bulls-eye; Air pistol and air rifles; small bore, rim fire, and high power precision; tactical rifle; hunting oriented; muzzle loaders; etc.
I've decided to start out in two disciplines: the basic pistol and the tactical rifle. While the aggregate rifle program may seem more basic and entry level, my rifle doesn't have iron sights and the tactical rifle program is designed for rifles that utilize optics.
So when I get to the range I'll be posting my scores, and my progress towards each goals. Today I anticipate achieving the Provisional Marksman rating in pistol, and will be zeroing and sighting in my rifle, so I don't anticipate posting scores towards qualification with it today.
If I get enough interest I think making the MQP (Marksmanship Qualification Program) ratings official ranks available to Uantiri citizenry and individuals abroad and authorized and respected for wear to formal events, court, etc. would be fun.
See you on the firing line.
The Winchester/NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program is a self improvement marksmanship program, but I'll let them describe themselves:
Qualification shooting is an informal, year-round recreational shooting activity that provides incentive awards for developing and improving marksmanship skills. It's a drill. We set the standards; you meet the challenge! Progression is self-paced and scores are challenging but attainable. Performance is measured against established par scores and any shooter who meets or exceeds those scores is entitled to the corresponding recognition awards for that rating. It's an honor system!
Shooters acquire the large discipline patch at the onset of the program and as each rating is earned, they are entitled to all of the corresponding awards for the rating. Each rating level has a skill rocker, medal, and certificate award that recognizes and highlights the achievement.
