Thank you to Pine Island White Pines Sportsman's Club and the 14 students that joined us on the line to sharpen their marksmanship skills.
Congrats to Colonial Iron for all the work he has done on the trail to Shoot Boss, to our 2 new Rifleman and to Bethany for stepping up and taking an orange hat. We look forward to working with you in the Spring.

Congratulations to Bethany. One of our new Rifflemen. The best part... she made riffleman before her Dad.

Dave qualified as a new riffleman on the the last AQT of the weekend. Benediction had been given and everyone was just about ready to pack up, when his score came in.
The cold couldn't dampen spirits in Pine Island this weekend! Boy Scouts, a Representative from the MN State House, and a dedicated rural family made up a great crew that wanted to pursue the skills of marksmanship and battle ignorance, apathy, and laziness!
I was pleased to part of such a great shooting group and to work with such an outstanding crew of instructors!! Thank you to all who took part in this fantastic weekend!
