During the Saturday portion of this shoot we gained 2 new Riflemen in 10 new inches of snow. Serious.
All congrats must go out to:
Steven H, on his 6th AS . a Rifleman persists
Jeff,, 210,, you're lucky Wally forgot my North Bridge Water
  You two made it in a no-kidding blizzard.


Sunday:
The clouds lift and we get down to some serious shooting. Still cold and there is still lots of new snow to be spread around. We grew 2 more Riflemen on a bitter cold Sunday.

Brian W, who, with his son Zeke, were both a pleasure to work with. Great shooters, Great attitudes. Welcome returnees whenever they see fit.

Erica L.  Being the only correct-handed (lefty) shooter on the line Sunday, I took a special interest in Erica,, yeah from 183 to 224,, are we done here?? Congrats!!!
Alaska Rifleman #100 !!!!!

On top of all this, two of our cadre laid down in the snow and did their re-qual for their Winterseed patches. Huzzah to TUT270 and MANIAC

Riflemen 97,98,99, and 100
