What a wonderful weekend it was for heritage and marksmanship training!!  We had beautiful weather and 11 great shooters.  Our group of shooters included youth and adults, as well as those who were very comfortable with handling rifles to those who had never really shot before.  Everyone was very attentive for the history portion of the weekend, and took all instruction well during shooting.

By the end of the weekend, we had 1 new Rifleman and 1 re-qualify.  We also had 2 instructors to re-qualify on the AQT!!  Good job to all of you!!!  Each of our shooters made very good progress, and I hope to see all of you at future events.

We also had a special treat-Richard, one of our shooters, brought his Brown Bess, and spoke to us about Revolutionary War firearms.  Thanks so much for taking the time to speak to us!!

Again, hope to see you all again soon!!

"The cost of a thing is the amount of life required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run. When one has obtained those essentials necessary for well-being â€" food, shelter, warmth, and clothing, there is an alternative to struggling through steel jungles for the luxuries. That's to adventure on life itself, one's vacation from humble toil having commenced." -Townsend Whelen
