For last couple of years I have always made a point of looking at the After Action Reports of the events at Racine County Line Rifle Club. The attendance at these events was growing and they always were getting new orange hats, making Rifleman,  getting RedHats,ShootBosses ,always growing. I made up my mind early in the year that I was going to participate in one of their events. I was not disappointed.
A quality range, dedicated  instructors, and a full line of 40+ students made for a memorable event. This is the first time I have ever worked with the Young Marines. There is hope for our Republic if we continue to have young people such as the Young Marines. These young people can only be described as amazing. Much of the credit belongs to their mentors and to their parents but also to the attitude of the Young Marines themselves .We also had 20+ shooters that were dedicated to hearing the story of our Heritage and learning the time honored skills of rifle marksmanship. They also had a great learning attitude which shows in the results of this event. So let's look at the results.

First of all, let's congratulate Wisconsin's newest Rifleman,
                                                        Rick.       213
                                                      Celicio.     216
                                                       Joseph.    221
                                                        Bobby.    221
                                                        Pete.      220
                                                        Barb.      218

We also had 3 students step up to take an Orange Hat
                                                            Rick
                                                          Celicio
                                                            Bobby
We also want to congratulate Wisconsin's newest RedHat,,,, Leadlined. Congratulations  Jason!

Thanks to the Racine County Line Rifle Club for hosting this event.
Special thanks to all the instructors and Blue Hats that assisted at this event. I had a opportunity to meet some new friends and also to visit with some old. It was truly an honor to be there with you at this memorable event.
