On a cloudy, chilly day here on Long Island 23 Patriots marched on to the Sandy Range to Honor those who fell on April 19, 1775. Honor them they did!
We had 23 Shooters on the Line and 5 "Spectators" who joined us to hear the story of that memorable day when our Forefathers gave birth to our Nation.
Our Shooters ranged in age from 12 to 75 and ALL stood tall and showed that although the Ship may be sinking the Buckets are getting larger and those doing the bailing are growing.
New York now Has 3 New Rifleman.
Noah- 233
Darius- 226
Banzai- 210 (YES, He was "Baptized")

We had an excellent event honoring those who fought for so much. The shooters did an excellent job and really showed from the beginning of the day to the final hits counts target. All we're eager to learn a new skill and our history. Well done to all.
Thank you to Vietvet for organizing the event, Anne for administrative work, Big Matt for calling the line and all my fellow IITs for working the event.
Here are a few Photos from our event:
