Kind of breaching protocol here by starting the AAR before the Shoot Boss but I had so much fun I wanted to go ahead and post all the pictures I took from the event. Thanks to the 4H Rifle Team for having me out and sharing this wonderful event. I look forward to August 10th when we'll have another. Huzzah! And mohawks for everyone!

Brendan didn't let a 12lb. trigger pull stop him! (And no, that's not Uncle Si in the background.)

Haley did every single position just right. Several times throughout the weekend I told the boys, "If you want to know how to do it right, just watch Haley." Shoot like a girl... if you can!

Jackson shows off his new mohawk... and the epic pose. Huzzah!!! -:)
Thanks again for the fun. See y'all next time!
Aaaaahhhh.... How nice to be a shooter for a change. I had to bite my tongue to keep from echoing line commands. I got to spend some time working on my bolt action technique (still work to be done). I also had fun racing Luke and Ryan to the target line between strings of fire. I won a lot but I bet they weren't as sore as I was the next day (and the next). Thanks to Coach Huff for his work with the 4-H crew...a fine body of young men and women.
C ya,
