Title: Racine Wi, October 20-21 2012 AAR
Post by: Trig on October 21, 2012, 12:30:16 AM
24 of our countries finest Americans assembled peacefully with nothing more than the land owners permission, on a Racine's 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; David and Andrew (day 1),  Rich and Mike (day 2),  with several more in the 200's. remember persistence!!

Day 2 was a glorious day filled with aqt's and even a KD opportunity!! 

Congrats to BrettA on his RED HAT and KD Patch all in the same beautiful day!!
Also congrats to our newest ORANGE HATS: Ralph (beck), Rich (trig? DrRichP), and Andrew (aBinz)).

My son, Alex, and I had a great weekend - thanks to all the wonderful instructors and fellow shooters! Alex said he can't wait to go to sign up for another class - we are now both determined to earn our rifleman patches. An instructor told me about the class a few moths ago and said it would be a great experience - he couldn't have been more correct.
So thanks again Triggernick and all the other instructors - we'll bring some folks with us next time!

And congrats to the new riflemen!
