Buckeye, AZ - Dec 6-7, 2014

[azmule]

An Arizona winterseed is one where you need to wear a jacket or sweatshirt for the first couple hours each morning.  Such was this weekend at the General Joe Foss Range in Buckeye, AZ - where seven shooters and two instructors braved the elements  to improve our marksmanship and celebrate the choices and accomplishments of America's founding generation.

The Saturday morning Redcoat targets showed room for improvement - or maybe some evidence of shivering from the chill, because by mid-morning all groups had tightened impressively, and by the end of the first day we had one cleared Redcoat target and three new members of Morgan's Rifle Co.  By the end of the weekend we celebrated the emergence of three new Riflemen - Seth, Justin, and George; with the rest of the line showing much improvement and seriously knocking on the door.  Congratulations guys!

This is the place for any discussion, questions, comments, pictures, etc. for the December 6-7, 2014 shoot at the General Joe Foss range in Buckeye, AZ.

azmule,
Hats off to both of you for hosting a great class!! I learned a ton, had a great time, and can't wait to do it again. I'm actively canvassing and plan on bringing several people with me the next time I return.

Congrats again to Seth, George, and Justin for making Rifleman. Well done guys!

That's a very cool story from NM!  Focus under stress!

I'm still trying to get those pictures - they weren't taken by my phone.

Armaborealis, you guys get all moved yet?  I see you were at the Boulder shoot a couple weeks ago.
