Effingham, IL Aug. 25-26, 2012

[2 clicks low]

Nine shooters showed up on this beautiful range set in the woods. All eager to learn their heritable and marksmanship. Weather on Saturday was perfect. Ran thru the COF with no problems and lots of learning. 2 AQT's but alas no Rifleman.

Sunday Morning a bit of drizzle and humid. Off to an early start with 6 returning shooters ready for more instruction  and AQT's. We did both. They did excellent with 2 new Riflemen:
Bob with a 213 and Kevin with a 211.

Everyone  had a great time and said that they would be back again.

Nailer & RBKL showed me just how great down state instructors are. Thanks for all your help, you made this easy for me.

I miss Effingham!  I grew up just 45 minutes north of there.  My. Father used to take us for frog legs at the Best Western omnFriday gifts!  A blast from my past!

Good job guys!

Looks like a great event. Congratulations to the new Riflemen. Especially good to see Kevin's persistence pay off with a patch. 

Well done to all the shooters, SB, & Instructors!

I was there.  Thank you to three great instructors who made this a blast.  I will definitely be back.  My wife and daughter also had a good time and we are very appreciative of the individual attention we all received.

I did walk off with two of RBKL's magazines and I need to know how to get them back to her.

Congratulations, Bob and Kevin!

I will definitely be attending other events in the future. I learned a TON, and the instructors were great.

I really wanted to make it back for the Sunday training, but my very pregnant wife was not feeling well, and I needed to be home to help her with the kids.

I look forward to being a part of this excellent program again in the future!

Thanks!

Sorry to respond so long after the shoot, but we had to move to Hannibal MO soon after the shoot.  Thank you to the instructors for a great weekend of instruction and story telling!  Thank you to the others on the line and the camaraderie we enjoyed.  I have my Rifleman patch proudly sewed to the front of my field pack!!  Thanks again!  bob
