Well well well.... it was another Patriots day weekend and it was a another fun shoot. We had 21 on the line Saturday and finished with 15 on Sunday none the less we still ended up with 2 Rifleman and a few others knocking on the door. We also handed out 1 brand new bright orange hat!!!!!

The beautiful weather kept our shooters going, a huge Thanks to ISRA range for hosting us and allowing our many shooters to use their beautiful air conditioned club house (I think they had that back then so it was ok :]) The sun kept beating down but we kept going got a lot of work on NPOA along with transitioning so when those door knockers come back they will be ready for it.

A huge shout out to 30-06  ^:)^ and AK  ^:)^ for handling much of ground work (3 instructors 21 shooters no extra holes given very safe handling) The history was on point and very nicely done along with the POI, I can not recall a single shooter having that glazed eye look so they were all attentive towards the instructors. You are welcome to the area anytime and look forwarding to working with you again.

'Til we meet again, may your aim be true and the lead fly.

"I have many times asked the American backwoodsman what their best marksman could do. They tell me that an expert rifleman can hit the head of a man at 200yds. I am certain that provided an American rifleman could get perfect aim at 300yds would undoubtedly hit me unless it was a very windy day" Maj Hanger British Army

"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
