With temps ever so close to freezing (at least part of the day) & brisk gusty winter winds, this event was just like the others i've done in January... NOT!

In 2012 we had all of 3 on the line.  In 2011 Chainsaw & I set up and waited, and waited, and no one showed.  This year we had 19 on the line & had to open the 3rd bay!  What the...? 

Thank you to the brave (errr, foolhardy?) souls who ventured out to attend the January event at Elstonville SA.  We had 5 new attendees & 14 return 'seeders.

Despite the wind frequently sending rifles & mats all over the place as well as finally putting to rest Roverace's much abused pop-up, we did manage to turn out 2 new Riflemen.

Our first was Kevin, back for his 2nd event, shot a 218 on the one & only QDAQT on Saturday.  He also cleaned the Redcoat that evening joining the ranks of Pennsylvania's 1st Rifles!  Great job!

Sunday yielded 1 new & 1 re-qualified Rifleman.  Nate, back for his 3rd event shot a 210, and did indeed get baptized in some rather murky North Bridge Water.  Congrats!

Last, but not least our frequent 'seeder Dave L shot his all-time high this event with a 236.  Just goes to show that scoring Rifleman is only the beginning. 

Thanks again to everyone who made it out for a safe & fun weekend.  Unfortunately it wasn't a Winterseed, but February is looking colder & colder!  See you there?

I pick something new up each time.

Lord make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true, and my hands faster than those who would seek to destroy me.  Grant me victory over my foes, and those  that wish to do harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be if I only had my Gun; and loard if today is truly the day that you take me home, let me die in a pile of empty brass.
