OK, who wants to get this show rolling. Chime in with your thoughts, comments and ideas.

What, we don't get AAR from the master?

First off, my hat is off to all 9 who preregistered-all 9 came with full knowledge of the nasty weather. And not only that, but perservered until lightning brought a cease fire to the line before the 4 PM volley could be fired. All 9 returned on Sunday as well-amazing.
Jumped right onto a safety brief, a few instruction points and the AQT's hit the backers. Several were knocking at the door but only Ian made the 210 needed to get out the kitchen. You know a orange hat would look kind of good on that guy now that I think of it. Hope to see all these folks back on the line soon to earn there patches, and bring some friends along as well.
If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget you were our countrymen.
Sam Adams

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force: Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." -- Patrick Henry

I recall some SBIT's. Perhaps they should experience the joy that is an AAR as well.

Another awesome weekend in Buckingham!  Weather was *tolerable*--rain in the morning and thunderstorms in the afternoon on Sat. That prevented us from finishing the course of fire, and we had to play catch up on Sun. Gusting throughout the weekend.  Sun was nice!

We had very motivated students, all showed up, and the next day, even after the tornado.

Only had one make rifleman, despite many knocking on the door--time monkey will get ya.

Good all in all.
