A very good shoot with very good shooters and, except for a bit of wind Saturday, good weather!
Couldn't find my sunblock Sunday, got a nice burned neck now. Oops!

This event went very well. From my perspective everyone worked hard and made improvements. We had families present, several sharp shooting ladies, many young people. Plus we were on the high plains of Colorado...does it get better than this?
The Ben Lohman range is one of the best. Able to accommodate many activities at once and two(at least) KD ranges. Would be perfect for a Rifleman Boot Camp. RBC. Oh, hey there will be a RBC there in June! I heard that the RBC was going to be run by THE GUY. You don't want to miss that. Back on track, great facility, friendly folks.
Weather, plenty of sun, stiff wind at times, blue skies, puffy clouds...looked kind of like a post card.
On my side of the berm we had some dedicated shooters. Congrats to John Jr., and Tyler who found the way to Rifleman on Sunday. Both shooting around 228, Tyler with a CMP M1G and ball ammo. Brian left banging on the door with some new ideas for the next shoot. Everyone persevered and persisted.
Great job Longrifle for running another great shoot. Thanks also to the IITs...can't do it without you, Thanks for your dedication, all you do off the line, and your willingness to grow on the journey.
We had Skinner, RF, Franktown Kid, ColoradoPete, OneShotOneHole and Yous guys are real pros. Look forward to working with you again. O0
Thanks again shooters ^:)^
Sheepdog Out...headed to the iaar.
Speaking of shooting advances, I made a quantum leap in Ramah... and it felt more like play than work. How did y'all do that? The instruction offered by you guys--red and orange hats--is incredible, and I was very, very fortunate to have had Long Rifle nearby for coaching and encouragement. Thank you, all of you. Your patience and dedication is admirable.
Perfect weather, great storytelling, fun shooting exercises, and quality companionship. I was so exhausted by the end of the weekend that I had to pull off and nap at the side of the road on the drive back home; but it was all so much fun, I hated to see it end. Next Ramah shoot, I'll be camping out. Why spend all that time driving back and forth to the Springs when I could be hanging out with Appleseeders?
Man, I love this organization. I wish I was free for that RBC, but I'll be looking forward to seeing some of you again in Fountain.
And I'm determined to bring someone with me next time. This is too good a thing to not be shared.
