Fantastic shoot! Awesome shooters, great range and beautiful weather what more could be asked????

Chasing a 6 month old everywhere will come back and add more later. Everyone else feel free to post!!

Congratulations to Ohio's newest Rifleman  Marcos with a 217 and then backed it up with a 215!!!!

Also, welcome Zach our newest AC member who stepped up and accepted a blue hat, jumped right in and started working!

Great shoot!  Couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather!!!  Congrats to Marcos!  Good to have you on the line again...and I'm sure the young lady you let borrow your rifle really appreciated it as well...  She is left eye dominant, and started shooting right handed on Saturday.  On Sunday she switched to shooting left handed, and did great.  I don't recall her final AQT score, but as a new shooter, I saw consistent improvement.  This is what I like to see out of all shooters over the weekend!

Glad to see the buckeye trapper, Coyote 217, Ratchet, DryFire, a quick visit from MeanStreaker, as well as new Appleseeders and some repeat shooters!

As a proud dad, I have to brag a bit...Congrats to my son Zach for stepping up to accept the Blue Hat and IMMEDIATELY jumping in to demo positions and helping with RSO duties.  Zach also scored a new personal best on the AQT with Ratchet's rifle, one he never shot before.  DryFire worked with Zach and christened him Fingertip.  This needs to get changes on the forums!

Keep up all the practicing, and hope to see you all very soon!!!

Congratulations Marcos and Zach!!!

As always, it was great hanging out with patriotic Americans.  It was really awe inspiring to watch the young people listening to the history.  Brittany improved greatly and had a smile on her face when she shot Marcos bolt gun.  She bolted the rifle left handed like it was old hat.  She went from a 44 to a 121 after she switched to shooting left handed, I was really impressed. 

Congrats to Marcos on his rifleman and to Bill who reconfirmed his rifleman status.  And to Zach thanks for stepping up to Blue hat.
