Springtime in Missoula is the best time. We had perfect weather, enthusiastic shooters, and a gracious range to host us. I want to thank Hutch for coming out to instruct with me, and all of our shooters, especially our return shooters.
We minted one new rifleman, Nate, who promptly accepted an orange hat upon my invitation. Charlie and Mike are knocking at the door of becoming riflemen themselves. Adrienne saw steady improvement all day sunday, and her scores kept going up. Conner, our youth shooter, came and grinded out AQTs after running a full race the day prior. Barry shot rifleman after rifleman score, and graced us with his Garand again. Thanks for letting us run a few clips through that beautiful rifle Barry! Jeff was the only shooter to run irons all weekend and he too is creeping towards that 210 score. Finally, John came out to his first Appleseed and fell right in line with the rest of the gang. John had great questions, for both the history and the shooting components of the weekend.
It was a pleasure seeing all of you again, and a pleasure meeting you John!
