And another excellent shoot at the Elstonville SA Range in Manheim, PA.  We had 22 attendees throughout the weekend, 19 Sat & 16 Sun, churning out 6 Riflemen, 4 of them new to the ranks.

The weather cooperated with us on Saturday, with sunny skies & mid 80 temps.  Sunday, however, upped the frustration if not challenge by dampening pretty much everything with frequent rain/drizzle throughout the day.  Two thirds of the attendees were return seeders.  It was nice seeing y'all again!  It was also a great a pleasure meeting the first-timers as well :-)

Posting some pics below.  We're here year 'round, so come on back!  Hope to see you again.

I failed to take a pic of the group on Sat, but here is Sunday's class of Aug13.
Let's see, we've got (left to right):
Mike Jr, Frank, Barbie, Josh, Mike Sr, Dan, Mike, Rich, Massimo, Nick, RoverAce, Kenna, Norm, Tovi, Big T, Kaitie, Vince, Jersey Devil & Alexandra.

The roster of Rifleman from this past weekend:

Frank scoring a 212,

Dan scoring a 216 followed by a 232,
Norm! (sorry, couldn't help it) re-qualifying with a new best of 230,
Gary, aka Big T scoring a 216,
and last, but certainly not least Rich re-qualifying repeatedly with scores from 235 down to 215 as the weekend took its toll :-)

Congrats to all!

Not liking to toot his own horn, Roverace prodded our special guest Frank Melloni, contestant on A&E's Top Shot - Season 4, to pose for a few pics with the younger shooters this past weekend.

Thanks Frank!

To top off a splendid weekend, PA hatted a new Instructor-to-be... except he's from Jersey!  Dagnabit!

Thanks Mike for stepping up to join the front line of restoring America's tradition of marksmanship & sharing our heritage.
