I'm happy to report that Luke earned his Rifleman patch in Glen Aubrey NY (https://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=72468.0) on October 4th and promptly took an Orange Hat to begin his journey as an IIT. Ten 4 (https://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=50178) , good buddy ;)
Many of you already know Luke, he has been a staple at our New York events since we began our 'rebuild' in Ontario back in October 2021. Luke's upbeat demeanor has been a welcome presence at our events, and his attitude never waivered over countless AQT's that fell just shy of the 210 milestone. Luke is proof that a "Rifleman Persists", and I know his commitment will inspire future Riflemen in their pursuit of the patch.
Thank you for stepping up, Ten 4!

Luke's son Graham has also stepped up to don the Blue Hat - he still needs to set up a forum name, but we look forward to getting him RSO certified next season while he closes in on his own Rifleman patch (he's shooting above 200 now O0)

Congratulations and welcome!

It's been awesome watching you earn your rifleman patch! I'm so glad I was there to share in this memorable occasion! Now the journey to red hat begins my friend and I hope to be there when that day comes as well. Great Job, Luke! Congrats!
Graham, if you don't stop growing we may not have a hat size that will fit! ;D You've grown so tall and now a blue hat! You're knocking on the door to your rifleman as well. I have a feeling blue won't be your color for long. :cool2:
Congrats Luke and Graham!!!
