Wow what an event we had.
First it was a private event for the MN Well Armed Woman's group.  Then we opened it to the public to fill the line, only to have it listed a little funny and having 5 guys sign up too!
We had 2 instructors from IL drive up and one from WI drive until very late to be our token "guy" instructor.
As always the range, Monticello Rod and Gun Club were AWESOME! They let us use two different parts of the range so the ladies had a Ladyseed and the guys had an Appleseed. 
Kholin rocked it with guys and did a one man show on his side.  While Sis and Scattershot Sarah were awesome on the Ladies side.

We had rain rain rain and more rain on Saturday, but everyone stuck with it and EVERYONE came back Sunday to a picture perfect weather day!

Sunday we brought the two lines together and had 3 kid patches go out and one rifleman and a few that were sooo close that is incredible.

We had the best attitudes, a cleared redcoat, a patch and a new orange hat for MN!  Pretty successful weekend.

There was no better way to spend this weekend.

Apologies to all who have been waiting on them  :-[.  The pictures I have from the Monticello Ladyseed/Appleseed.

Great job to all who came out.  Everyone showed a willingness to learn and persevere, which is the spirit of the Riflewoman/Rifleman, and everyone showed improvement over the course of the weekend.  For those striving to score Rifleman  :---, keep at it!  Practice and patience will see you through.

Congratulations to Jason on scoring as Rifleman, and thank you for stepping up to take an Orange hat  ..:..!  Hope to see you again on the trail!
