What a glorious day! 27 AMERICANS and 4 instructors (also Americans...) assembled peacefully with, nothing more than the land owners permission, on a Bristols green. We exercised several of our rights that were secured by the decisions and sacrifices of our fathers before us. I hope after today we can all work a little hard to acknowledge that sacrifice, and honor them by working to keep those rights.
Thank you to everyone who came out and braved the cold!
Congrats to Wisconsin's newest rifleman; Billy, Sergi and Peter!

Day 2 pics coming soon
O0 O0 O0
Thanks again for volunteering your time this weekend...what you're doing is important.
I've already got my mental list of people I plan to bring in the future when I'm settled in one place for more than 6 weeks at a time!
WOW! What a great weekend. This was one of the best groups I have worked with! Everyone was attentive and open to instruction. Also the first question I got on Sunday was, "Will there be anymore history talks today? I really liked them." O0 Thanks to the Instructors. It was great working with you. And congrats to our Riflemen this weekend. Great shooting.

And Lauren with a civil war era muzzle loader!
BIG thanks to the guys out on the Black powder range for letting us take a shot with the muzzle loaders!
It was a great weekend! The October weather started to creep in but you all stuck it out and really showed that participating on our American Heritage sometimes means some sacrifice of our comfort so we can honor those that sacrificed their lives and loved ones to give us the comforts and freedoms we enjoy today! Thank you all!
One more pic. This is what its all about
