Many of us keep in touch with jmdavis, past Senior Instructor, from Richmond, who still supports Applessed with his sponsorship at Cavalier in Montpelier and insightful marksmanship advice.
He was always conspicuous at Ramseur RBCs' and events for stringing his hammock between trees, winter our summer, or during rain and snow, under the firing line between posts.
Turns out that he adopted this concept from articles on hammock camping, written years ago by the above JEFF (SpeakUp), our repeat Rifleman and multi-faceted. active duty officer from Virginia.
Small world! You never know who has touched the lives of those who have touched yours.
Keep the faith and fight the good fight!
