Greetings to all,

We had a wonderful weekend at the Aurora Sportsmans Club. (ASC )  Perfect weather and a great group of students,  who were willing to spent 2 days learning the art of the rifle and hear about our founding.

Post your thoughts and pictures of the event here and keep on practicing  :)
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."   T Paine

What a great weekend!  Windy Waterman gave us a break.  Sunny and NO WIND for both days! 

We had a great bunch of shooters.  All had a great attitude and were eager to learn.

I got to work with some instructors I hadn't worked with before.  It was great to meet you and work with you Coly, Yogi and booboo.  See you again on the trail.

Thanks Cinco for coming out Saturday and spending the entire day with the kids.  They had a great day!

I am having trouble posting pictures.  I will try again tonight.  I have a bunch of good ones.  ...stand by...

My first Appleseed working as a Blue Hat, but more importantly my first Appleseed without brass burns. Long sleeves are worth the extra sweating.

Jordy, thanks for all the great pictures!

I had a great time working with everyone over the weekend. We had some great shooters and some fun times with great improvement in everyone's ability. With a few of you just needing a few more points to make it to riflemen. Remember, a riflemen persists so practice dry firing to get ready for the next time. I hope to see you all again.

I will post a few photos I have when I get them resized.

It was also a satisfying confirmation of our ability when Boston took us over to the steel plate at 100 actual yards.  It really is the same thing!

Thanks also to Boston for letting try out the Garand!
