We had another great event at Lapeer County Sportsmans Club!
Saturday was a beautiful fall day where we experienced shrinking groups and growing appreciation for our shared history and heritage.
Sunday started out with a red sky followed by rain and finished with a marvelous sunset.
Between the sunrise and sunset we saw 3 intrepid shooters earn their Rifleman patches. Congratulations to Tom. It's just like riding a bike, isn't it? It was heartwarming to see the father daughter team of John and Faith who scored just right to share a baptism in water that actually passed under the North Bridge! (thanks Number 6). Kinzie, you worked hard for those scores! Congratulations.
We had many others that were knocking on the door, and their persistence was evident.
Folks, I worked with the future of this country at this event, and I'll tell you, we have a bright future!
My sincere thanks to all the parents of these kids for doing such a great job, and to all the young folks for hanging in there until the end!
Great shooters in the Icehouse 3/5 of them scored Rifleman.
It's either the most excellent instruction, :cool2:
or perhaps it was the altitude increase. #)
I almost forgot, what about the three kids who took home prizes for the fun shoot (parkers revenge) Tadziu, Faith and Alex. Great teamwork!
I'm sure we'll see some
Pics up here at some point

Thanks to ITB for stepping in for me. I was under the weather.
I'm waiting to hear the story of the smooth bore Marlin. Can someone take us through that so next time we will be able to diagnose it faster.?
What a great shoot! Sad I could only make one day...
It's not always we see a group of students jumping in with answers on IMC and remembering the Six Steps like these guys! No wonder there were new Riflemen (and women) Sunday!
Oh, I seem to have come up short three mags for a loaner 597. If anyone comes across them, drop me a PM. edit: mags located, thanks!

Hey,
:pics:
I had been hoping for a very specific picture of a young lady that finally took the opportunity to shoot a specific "gun". I don't look like her dad has posted any pictures.
I would hope that every instructor takes the opportunity to shoot this. It puts you a little closer to actually walking the walk.
