Kingsgrove Academy (Mature, Realistic Roleplay) [WIP]

Marco began to follow Kristi. He could tell that shooting was more of a passion than a hobby based of off her reactions. Hearing she was a competitive shooter was impressive. Marco showed that in his face by making a "not bad" gesture.


"I'm in the military or was anyway. Military academy,we would run shooting drills. Where yours are more of speed,ours are more of awareness and reflex. My father was an instructor as well,took me shooting with him and taught me as best he could. I doubt the range will be as complex as maybe you or I are used to but I think we can make do." Marco responded as he smiled and slightly tugged on his back pack.


He remembered his father teaching him several drills along with timing his reaction speed. Marco smiled as he reminisced in the old memories.


"You know Tori Nonaka? " Marco asked. He found women shooters extremely attractive and who best to be a poster girl of the genre but Tori Nonaka,one of glocks competitive shooters.

Bryan Greenwells


Bry walked towards the dorms. He tried thinking f other things besides the bad boy known as Aiden. He thought of playing the piano which lead to him thinking about last night after he broke into the concert hall, which made him think about the party where he met Aiden. 'Shit' he thought. Something else was needed. His Mom. He thought about her but that made him think about the phone call which lead him to think about Aiden. "Fuck!" He shouted so loud that people could here him inside their dorm.He picked up a plant pot from outside one of the dorms and threw it at the wall before silding down a door of a dorm and into the fetal position before crying a little.

"Military academy, really? That's interesting. When did you join it," the girl asked Marco as they walked to the range, it getting in sight now.


Kristi noted the smile on Marco's face when reminiscing over shooting with his dad. It reminded her of her father when he taught her how to shoot.


"My dad taught me to shoot. Being the only child, my dad wanted to teach me it, like he did with how to handle stuff around the farm. But, secretly, I always wanted to. I remember going out and him teaching me the basics, like the four rules of gun safety. Then slowly progressing to real guns, then hunting, and eventually landing myself into competitive shooting," she said, letting out a small sigh. "Good times."


Marco asked Kristi if he had heard of Tori Nonaka, a female shooter in the Glock team. Kristi, in fact, had heard of her. While she wasn't her idol like Jessie Duff is, Tori Nonaka had been another women competitive shooter she followed.


"Of course I know who she is," she exclaimed with a laugh. "While she isn't my number one idol in the competitive shooting world, she is one of them. You know, I actually use a Glock 34 for my handgun in three gun. I love that pistol. It's great for it."


As the range got closer, Kristi examined it. It seemed to bean outdoor range with not too many complex targets. It seemed to be for general shooting. The firearms available to shoot and practice with, however, she could not see yet.


"I don't expect to walk in and find an AR-15. That's one of the guns I use for three gun. Anyway, I expect to see simple guns. Or maybe there is some sort of law or something that allows for that for competitive shooting purposes here in Switzerland? Who knows. Shall we find out," she asked Marco, with a smile on her face, excited to get back to a range.


@Gui
 
Marco raised his eyebrows again. Upon closer inspection it made sense, she was wearing tight jeans,boots camouflage cap. She was definitely a farmers daughter. Marco smiled,it was good news knowing there was another shooter he knew. Of course he was expecting to bump into other shooters but this was a nice surprise.


"First school I ever joined was an Academy. When your young the teach you the basics,abc,sentences etc etc. I come from a Military family so I was next in line. However my mother wants me to try my last year in a normal school. If something else catches my eye,I'll do that of not I'll keep the military tradition. " Marco paused for a second realising what he mentioned. He missed his mother and father no doubt.


As they approached the range it was very basic,normal shooting range. Nothing to impressive but it would have to do.


"Glock is good, my dad favored glock over anything else. Personally I rather a Sig 226. It just feels better,has better control in my opinion. As far as rifles go I prefer carbines but if I had a choice on rifles,AK all the way. Everyone is all up on their own AR15's, I'm a hipster like that sometimes I guess. " Marco told Kristi, as he tried to gauge the distance to the targets,looking around for an instructor.


Marco also wondered what the armament for said location would be and how that worked. Would he have to sign in and speak to an instructor or would it only be available during a specific time.


"I guess we try to find an instructor? I gotta find out what goodies I'll be working with." Marco asked Kristi @Jennifer Shotain
 
Joel looked over at him, still shivering a little. He rolled over and curled up beside him, hugging him softly. He was nice and warm. He liked curling up with Leonard.


"I guess I understand. I had a drinking problem a couple of years ago. Yes, I was only young. But I got hurt. I lost my big brother..." He admitted quietly.


@KaalysBR
 
Kristi had been quite interested in hearing that Marco came from a military family. While he wouldn't have been a member of the US military, she would still give him respect. Back in the US, Kristi had been raised to respect the vets, her grandfather being one himself. She held a deep respect for veterans, and wanted them to know that. She would never miss an opportunity to thank a veteran, even if she didn't know them. It was simply how she was raised and how she was.


"You know, I've shot AK's before, and I never really liked that platform. I prefer my AR over them, but I can't deny that they are good, fun weapons to shoot."


When they got to the door, Kristi assumed that she would have to sign some sort of waiver and watch some safety class or something to that matter.


"Alright, let's go check this place out," she said to Marco, opening the door up.


When she walked inside, she was met with a security guard behind a desk.


"Hi, we're here to get some time on the range."


The man looked up. He seemed to be about in his late 40's. Had was tall and seemed to have a decent build, and had a beard with short black hair.


"Have either of you shot at this range before," the man looked up and asked them.


"Um, no. I haven't. I'm not sure about my friend here."


"Alright, well then I need you to sign a couple of papers, watch a safety class video, and then from there, we can get you ready to use the range. But first, there are a couple of rules. You have to log when you enter the range, what firearms you bring, how much ammunition you shoot, and when you leave the range. The firearms are not to ever leave this building, and is a crime to do so. All guns must be accounted for by the end of each day, and if one is missing, and you were at the range that day and shot the gun missing, we have a right to search your dorm room for it. We take theft of firearms very seriously. Other than that, you need to watch the safety video and sign some papers. Sorry for the long talk, it's just basic school and law policy I have to say that. If you step into that room there, you can watch the video. But before you do, do you have any experience with firearms," asked the man to Kristi and Marco.


"I do, yes. I am a competitive shooter in the US in the United States Practical Shooting Association. But I've been shooting and hunting before that. It's what you do when you grow up in rural Texas on a farm. I got a scholarship from the USPSA to come here and further my competitive shooting and academic career," Kristi replied with a smile.


The man lifted an eyebrow and nodded in impressment.


"Not bad. I believe you, but it's just policy we have you watch the video. Oh, I'm Adam, by the way. I look forward to seeing you at the range some more," he smiled back at them. "Anyway, hop into that room and watch the video. When you're done, come out and I'll give you some papers to read and sign."


Kristi thanked him and walked towards the door and sat down in the room. She still hadn't seen the firearms yet. They must have been kept somewhere else. Adam also seemed like he was a nice guy. Kristi would end up seeing him a lot, so it's best they get friendly with each other. Even though Kristi knew everything that was going to be on the video, she still watched it. It was general safety and weapon manipulation stuff, which Kristi already knew, and assumed Marco did.


"That guy seemed nice," Kristi said to Marco as she sat down in the room with the video.

Location: Theatre

​



Why was he here? He wasn’t exactly sure. There were other things he could have done yet here he was, sitting in one of the elegant yet comfy seats in the concert theatre. The lights were off except for the ones shining onto the stage and it was silent. For one it could have been a silence that was too much. A silence that could have been slightly creepy but for Justin it was just as any other silence he grew used to.


After having done had his date with heroin, he’d spent the rest of his classes going in and out of paying attention though he spent most of it focused on the hallucions that came with it.


But as of now the high was gone and Justin was itching for another. But that would be way too close to do another one. He’d have to wait till later, when it was time for everyone to actually head to bed. So for now he’d sit in the theatre and just relax before making an appearance.

Marco stepped up after Kristi.


"No I've never shot here before and I do have experience shooting firearms." Marco responded to Adam's questions. He didn't feel the need to disclose where he got his shooting training from.


Adam simply looked at him almost as if trying to size him up. He simply pointed to the room and continued to write down information into some papers in front of him.


"He seems alright." Marco answered Kristi as he took a seat next to her. This was the first time he had to see some sort of video revolving around gun safety. He was always taught all he needed to know at the Academy.


Marco leaned slightly towards to Kristi while still watching the TV. "You know this is the first time I'm watching something like thi . Am I expecting some sort of cheesy acting?" Marco nudged Kristi's shoulder with his as he slightly chuckled at the thought of bad actors trying to explain gun safety.


@Jennifer Shotain
 
Leoonard sighed,calming himself as he felt the warmth of Joel against his body. He wrapped his arms around him and watched the ceiling with a happier expression.


"I'm never leaving again,Joel. I promise."


He kissed the top of the boy's head,considering his words. He didn't seem the type to drink much,but what did he know?


"Your brother...I'm sorry about him. If he was half as much of a gentle person as you are,I would have loved to meet him."


@JoelHPIS
 
Kristi had been to ranges before where it was a policy to watch a video that explained the four basic rules of firearm safety, and the different action types, terminology, and loading procedures. When Marco asked Kristi if there was cheesy acting, she let out a small laugh.


"No, no, no. It's generally just a guy explaining basic things. You'll see. They don't act."


When she finished her sentence, the video began. It started with a man at the Kingsgrove range. He started to go into the four basic rules of gun safety.


And here goes minutes of things I already have burned into my head. Sigh...


"There are four basic rules to gun safety. The first is finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire. This way, we don't have accidental firings of a gun. Secondly, always treat a gun as if it is loaded, whether it is, isn't, or you don't know. The third rule of gun safety is to never point a gun, loaded or not, at anything you do not intend to shoot. Lastly, you should always know your target and what lies beyond it. And there you have it! The four rules of gun safety! Be sure to follow them and correct others respectfully when you see the rules being violated. Everyone is a range officer. If you see something safe, yell 'cease fire'. Upon hearing this, everyone must stop shooting. When there is a cease fire, it is range protocol to unload your magazine, lock the action back, and place the firearm down on the table."


The video then went onto explain different firearms and action types, ranging from handguns to rifles. Of course, Kristi had already knew this.


Next, the video went on to show a magazine.


"What is this? Can you name it? What is it," asked the video to the viewers, holding a AR-15 magazine.


"It's a magazine, not a clip," Kristi said out loud in small annoyance.


"Did you say clip? Close, but no cigar," the video then said.


"Let mw guess; he is going to reach for a stripper clip and say this is a-," said Keisti before the man in the video spoke, cutting her off.


"This is a clip," said the man, holding up a small piece of metal called a clip.


"Called it," Kristi muttered.


After that, the video laid out the policies for using the Kingsgrove range.


"When you come to the range, you must have this item with you. You need your student ID. If not, another form of identification is required. Only Kingsgrove students are permitted access to the range. Next, once you prove your identity, you have to sign in on the range use sheet. There, you must write your name, sign, and the time you enter the range. From there, you may be granted access to the range and firearms. We have a plethora of firearms, from old antiques to modern day semi automatic rifles. These guns have been approved by the government and local PD for local range use for competitive shooting. Because of this, we are very strict about our firearms and making sure every single one is accounted for. When you're done with the range, you must write down the make and model of the firearms you used, what caliber it was, and how many rounds you fired. We will take your firearms away once done and lock them in the vault that houses them all. And when you're ready to go, sign your name one last time and write the time you leave.


We hope you enjoy using the range at Kingsgrove, and are as safe as we can be. Don't be afraid to call out others being safe. It could stop injury or other types of harm."


And the video finally ended. Kristi learned nothing new in the video she watched in regards to basic firearm safety, types, and terminology, but did acknowledge it was good for them to show this to people unfamiliar.


"Well, that was a lot to take in for someone who doesn't know a thing about that stuff. I already knew it," Kristi said, looking at Marco, and then looking out into the room around her. "Time to go sign those papers, shall we?"

​



Dj had been in his room, blasting his music happily. It had been a pretty good day despite the fact that the’d just been so hungry for most of it. He wasn’t exactly sure why. His first thought was that it could have possibly been just the nerves of being new to the school but he’d gone past it, deciding not to go ahead and pig out no matter how much he wanted to. Sitting down at his desk, he’d just picked up a pen to start on some homework when he heard someone screaming outside.


A hint of anger washed over him. Seriously? Were people that dramatic out here? What the fuck was going on now? Did someone break a nail?


Dj walked over to his door, opening it up and stepping outside for a moment, his eyes landing on the boy who was on the floor. He let out a small curse over having been the one to have found him. This was obviously some kid who had a few problems and if there was one thing that Dj hated it was trying to do something with someone who was overly emotional and this guy here? He was way past the line of overly emotional. But he was sure he’d beens in by the kid now and there were a few others who had stepped out as well, now looking at him since he was the closest. Dj would look like an asshole if he didn’t say something so with a sigh he closed his for and took a step closer to the crying one.


“Dude, what’s your problem?” Dj asked, glancing around before looking down at him. “People are trying to do work. What are you crying for? Didn’t your mama teach you to cry in the shower where no one could hear you?"

Bry lifted his head up from his arms and looked and the boy with puffy red eyes. He put his head back on his arms and mumbled, "Go away."

​



Dj watched the kid for a few seconds, raising an eyebrow when he actual moved. However he wasn’t too surprised to hear the kid tell him to go away. He stared at the guy for a few more seconds before shrugging.


“Well, you told me to go away so your wish is something I will happily oblige by.” He said, checking his pockets to make sure he had his key. He checked his door making sure it was locked before turning around to walk away.


He might as well go exploring now that he’d pulled himself out of the room. “See ya man. I suggest going to your room to cry but hey, we all have our preferences.”


With that, Dj walked off, wondering if there was anyone else out. If not, he’d simply go eat some food before going back to his room.

Marco kept glancing over at Kristi everytime she either answered the questions in the video or when she finished the sentence for them. It was obvious she had seen this thousands of times.


Marco followed her lead out the room to sign the paperwork needed for the range. He was excited,regardless of what firearms they may have available a firearm is a firearm. The thrill is there no matter what.


Marco reached the desk where Adam stood. Marco provided his ID to the man,to which Adam provided a sheet for him to fill. Just like the video mentioned he wrote his name,signed and wrote the time. He promptly recieved his ID back from Adam.


Marco soon stepped aside to allow Kristi to follow the same procedure. Marco preferred to have Kristi take the lead, she seemed more comfortable with the whole process.

Joel was quiet as he hugged the other tightly, just wanting that extra bit of comfort right now. He had loved Lewis to pieces, he had always been so kind to him. He felt tears form in his eyes but quickly wiped them away.

With the video over, Kristi and Marco walked out of the room to get the papers from Adam. With the papers at hand, Kristi read over them, making sure she understood them. After that, she signed her name and presented the papers to Adam. Next, she gave Adam her student ID and wrote down the time.


And now it was time to go to the vault and select what firearm she wanted to shoot.


Adam led the way to a heavily locked door made out of some sort of hard metal. The door had various locks on it, including a fingerprint scanner. It is clear that the Kingsgrove staff and government didn't want the wrong people to get their hands on the guns when they shouldn't. Kristi assumed this is why Adam was armed himself, just in case.


With the fingerprint scanner giving the okay, and various locks being unlocked, Adam escorted Kristi and Marco into the vault. Kristi was shocked at the variety they had in there. She saw old rifles and handguns that could easily be from a hundred years ago. Looking further, she saw newer firearms, mostly ones used by the Swiss, in semi automatic configurations. She even spotted an AR in there. There were also a whole bunch of revolvers, handguns, and shotguns.


"How did they allow the school to have all of these on their range in a country that doesn't have gun ownership as a right," Kristi asked, amazed at what she saw.


"The school and government struck a deal to allow these firearms here for competitive shooting only. We don't have a right to gun ownership like you Americans have. But in Switzerland, the men are put of a militia, and personal firearms are allowed to be kept at home. Even then, we still can own guns. It might not be as easy for you Americans, but we still can have them. These firearms, however, are here for sporting and competition purposes only, don't forget that," replied Adam, seemingly amused by the question slightly. "Anyway, go ahead and make your pick."


Kristi looked around. There were many different types to shoot. But she figured it would be best to practice with something familiar. Walking around and eyeing the different types, she made her decision. When the AR came in sight, she grabbed it, and then two magazines.


"I'll take this and," she stopped, looking out into space for a moment to think, "Two hundred rounds of...," she said, inspecting the gun, ".223".


"Alright then. Ammunition is over here," pointed Adam in the direction of it. "Don't forget your eye and ear protection."


With the rifle and magazines in hand, Kristi walked over to the cabinets of ammunition. Each drawer was marked to specific calibers. Looking around, she found the one she needed. She grabbed four 50 round boxes. Then she walked over to a box labeled "Eye and Hear Protection Equipment". Grabbing the equipment, she walked back to Adam holding everything, then looked at Marco.


"Ready when you are, Partner," she said jokingly with a smile in her southern accent.

Marco was inspecting the vault looking for the rifle he had in mind. As soon as his eyes met with the rifle he grabbed it. He grabbed a Beretta ARX160. As he grabbed the rifle he pulled the slide back checking the ejection port and mag well.


"I'll take the ARX and 200 rounds of 7.62." Marco told Adam.


Adam simply pointed at the same locations he pointed for Kristi. Marco of course followed soot. He grabbed 4 boxes of 50 rounds each. Marco placed everything on a table nearby and kneeled down to open his backpack. Inside he had his own ear protection and glasses. He came prepared,bringing some equipment with him to Kingsgrove. Seeing he had a hard case holster as well and a 3 point sling he grabbed the holster and set it up on his waist at about 3'O clock.


"I almost forgot I'll also take the p226 and 100 rounds of ..." Marco checked the weapon briefly to see if this was the .40 variant. Lucky for him it was. ".40"


Marco grabbed the boxes of ammo,holstered the hand gun and attached the sling to the ARX. Marco smiled at Adam. Adam simply raised his eyebrows,he seemed to be getting some ideas of where Marco arms training but that was something that would unfold with time.


With ammo in both hands and both his weapons in place. Marco smiled at Kristi and simply motioned forward.


"Please ladies first.....partner." Marco gave Kristi a smile and a wink @Jennifer Shotain

Aiden - His Dorm Room - M: Relaxed, Faded

​





Tyler handed Aiden and Astrid two blunts each where they can smoke to their heart's content. Aiden pulled out a lighter bringing it upon his lips. "Mmm, yeah you can join newspaper club. It's just us three in there so we can squeeze you in."


Five blunts later...


Aiden promised Astrid that he'd go to swimming practice with her. Walking out in the hallway, he nearly falls trying to contain his laughter. Anybody who would exit the hallway would see him look like an idiot. Standing up straight, he looked down at the shorter female. "Ready t-"


He turned around hearing someone crying. Is that Bryan? He couldn't tell, he could barely open his eyes. "Whoa...Bry? What's wrong, man?"





@Starchan


 
Astrid Dobrovolny


M:Dazed and confused(kinda)|L:School hallway|W: @MikkiAli


The smaller girl took the joints and put them in her purse, thanking Tyler and Hildi graciously. She stayed around to smoke a bit with them, but knew she had bigger priorities. Once her and Aiden were outside his room, the two were as thick as thieves, giggling down the dizzy hallway. As the boy walked, he tended to dip and almost fall. After Astrid saw this, she gingerly grabbed the side of his waist to keep him from falling and was on her way to her room to change, before she heard a wailing noise. She heard Aiden talk about some guy named Bryan, who was apparently crying. "Hmm? Aiden, who's Bryan? Does he need our help?" She asked, rubbing her eyes with her free hand.

Ana replied, the shut the phone off completely. She didn't want to get caught texting in class, even though it had just started. She had English first, which was probably for the best, since her English writing was only sub-par. She reached inside her bag, and pulled out a notebook and pencil. She opened it, and started to write.


Un nouveau pays, une nouvelle vie. Comment puis-je régler? Il est comme demander la lune pour être le soleil. Mais est-ce la façon dont il sera toujours? Montage dans, être un Américain pour cette période. Ma famille va se souvenir de moi même? Quelque chose dit oui, mais peut-être? As she's writing this down, her mind wonders. How's her family taking her moving? Will she fit in?

Click to expand...
Kristi watched as Marco made his way around, picking his firearms. She laughed a little when he picked up the Beretta ARX.


"Figures you would go for the Italian weapon."


As he went on, he grabbed a Sig Sauer P226, a gun Kristi had been familiar with at home. It was a gun that her dad liked to keep in his holster around the farm. She'd shot it and enjoyed it, but was a fan of her Glock instead.


When Marco was done, he responded to her comment, even saying "partner" at the end with a smile and laugh.


"Good, you're a gentlemen," she replied back with a smile, liking that he said "partner" back to her.


Adam looked at the two of them, and shook his head with a small chuckle.


"Don't you two start making out on the range. This is for shooting purposes only."


"Adam...," Kristi started with a laugh, "that's not what we're here for. We're just friends, nothing else."


"Alright, well, just saying," he said, laughing through the sentence.


I like this Adam guy. I'm not sure if Marco does, but I find him to be a cool guy. Last thing I want at a range is some guy who hates guns and people who shoot, giving attitude the entire time. They can ruin the entire day at the range, when I actually go to one, that is. I normally shoot in my backyard or at USPSA courses to train for. But on the occasion I did go to a range she was unfamiliar with, and I had somebody who was grumpy, it ruined my vibe there, and my spirits, albeit, slightly. It sucks.


And speaking of Marco, I like this guy. He's friendly, a little charming, and seems like the type of person I would get along with. Here's to hoping for a good friend and friendship.


With her gear ready, she walked out to the range. It had a variety of targets, ranging from paper to steel targets. The range even had targets at 200 yards, which was something Kristi hadn't noticed when she originally saw it. And it even had a small little shooting course to run through to the side, for competitions that required you to do so. That would be helpful as she would sometimes need to shoot farther ranges in competitions, and a lot of her competitions revolved around lots of running and weapon changing. But for now, she wanted to just send some rounds down the range for fun.


Getting to a table, she placed the rifle down, along with the magazines and ammunition. She first put her eye and ear protection on, and then took a magazine and box of ammo. Opening it up, she collected the ammunition and started to load it up.


"So, who's the better shot here," Kristi asked Marco as she loaded her magazines up.


"I ain't no pushover. There's a reason why I won all of those competitions and started making a name for myself back over in the states."


Kristi wasn't one who liked to brag. She was more of the humble type. But when it came to shooting, she liked to brag and be a little cocky. But she tries to carry it out in a humble sort of manner.


"I think we need to make a challenge, and see who is the better shot. Would you be up for that," she asked as she continued to load her magazines.


@Gui
 
Marco nodded at Adam and gave a wink when Kristi mentioned being only friends. Marco respected that, he wasn't specifically looking for a girlfriend though he's never had one. That's not to say he hasn't had interiors before, which he has. He just never engaged in an actual relationship with someone.


As they entered the range Marco made sure his ear protection was turned on and on right. His sunglasses were nice and tuck and his rifle hanging from his chest. He began loading the magazines, 3 of them to be exact and 2 magazines for the 226.


Marco smiled at her request for a challenge. Marco was a good shot, hitting targets accurately past 50 meter with his handgun.


With a proper rifle way beyond tha . Speed wasn't too gigs in those challenges but it was moderate.


"Ok well fire at our targets,6 shots,50 meters? Afterwards another 6 shots 25 meters off of back engage. Sound good...actually since you have a rifle let's make it 100 meters both,yeah?"


Marco replied. His grouping would be tight he was sure of it. Though she would probably be faster.


Marco did however pull out his phone and selected a video where he filmed his father doing a back engage drill.


"This is a back engage drill if you were wondering. Only difference is were using rifles. That was my dad,teaching me how. "


Marco said with a smile in his face a he reminisced

"Of course,as you Texans say 'Ladies first ma'am' " Marco said that with his best southern accent as terrible as it was and a wink to top it off.

When Marco pulled out his phone, he played a video which he explained was his father teaching him that. Kristi could see the smile on his face looking back at it.


"Your dad certainly looks military," she said, before looking at him, scanning him up and down. "I can see where you get it from. You've got some of his military look in you."


Marco then proposed a challenge to her, one she had to think about for a second to covert his units of measurement with her own.


"Okay, so six shots at how many yards," Kristi said as she thought for a second, looking up. "About 54 yards. Okay, not bad. Yeah, okay. And then off the back shooting? I've never performed that drill before. So you might be better that me. I'll just need to shoot your pistol. I didn't take one today for that drill. You might have the edge on me. And that's at about, whew, let me think, 27 yards? Yeah, around that. Now are we going for group size or speed? That's a bit important."


While Kristi had been good at drawing her gun out and aiming fast, and recovering from recoil for follow up shots, grouping wasn't something she was aiming for. Normally, on a quick shot at distance, she only aims to hit the target, not ge the tightest grouping possible.


"Also, off hand for the six shots at 50 yards," she stopped, catching herself. "Meters, I mean. Is it off hand shooting or on a bench rest?"


Kristi could get a much tighter grouping on a bench rest. Off hand shooting had way more variables to account for when shooting.

"Thanks,I get that sometimes. " Marco smiled.


"Well use our rifles,it'll be easier. The 100 meter with our rifles 6 shots based of grouping. Then we will do back engage. Back engage will be bast of grouping and speed. So when it's time to back engage you stand,do a 180,rifle comes up and shoot,only one shot. Then you reset and shoot. I'll goverdraft first to demonstrate. You can time it with your phone, when it's time to back engage just do like they do it in competitio . The whole shooter ready thing. I'll engag . Reset and engage again until 6 shots is done. Should be easier for you. No bench shots,recoil is your friend. "


Marco paused and laughed at his statement. It was something one of his drill instructors at the Academy would say.


"I'll do my 6 shots first then I'll wait for you to time me yeah?" Marco asked as he got in position to shoot. His legs shoulder wity apart with his lead foot slightly ahead. He nodded at Kristi to give him the signal to begin shooting.

Leo kissed the top of Joel's head and leaned against him,looking down at his face to see if he was still pale or showing other signs of anemia.


"Do you feel better?"
