Title: Gunnison CO, Sept 19 & 20
Post by: Long Rifle on September 25, 2009, 01:46:05 PM
The Gunnison area is a beautiful part of Colorado. Six shooters attended. One drove 120 miles everyday to shoot.

The Gunnison Sportmens Association generously gave us the use of a private bay for the event. Thanks for making us feel welcome GSA!

Thanks very much to all the instructors who turned out to support the first event at the Gunnison Sportmen's Association Range.  Thanks especially to Alan J --Shoot Boss for running a good, safe, creative event.  Through rain, wind sun and spectacular rainbows..we persisted. 

By the end of the event we were shooting better and our knowledge of the founders was much improved.  If we can spread the word we can build more riflemen, teach more history and respect for our founders, and SAVE America.  Come on out.  It's Great to be an active American.

Watch for future events open only to Appleseeders.....

Thanks for the great weekend, see you all next time.  I am planning on Brighton for 1 day, already think I have 1 or 2 others coming as well.

I expect to see some better rugs next time, I hated to shame you all with my fancy carpet...

Al, if you have access to the artical in the paper can you post a copy, could not bring myself to pay $10 to see it.

Thanks all...

Eric

I'll get it erik.  Man the pressure is on ... That was ONE FANCY MAT!   

Thanks for coming out, PERSISTING and knocking on the door of rifleman.  The more I read of our founding fathers, the more I feel like we are blessed to be able to walk in their shoes and try to shoot as good as them with our modern equipment...

One more shoot before we settle down to winter up here..   AHHHH, no mosquitos!

Take care riflemen.  It is an honor to shoot with you.
