OK, I have the IAAR done, so I can post on this AAR.
It was a good weekend, a really good weekend. The group was small but was filled with the desire to shoot better. And I think by the end of the weekend all were ready to step up, as rifleman in spirit, to save the "The most magnificent society on the face of earth.
And we had a lot of fun, although it was hard work for all.
I was sorry that Chad, Madison and Allison didn't make it back for day two. You were all shooting so good and you gals looked , at the end of the day, like you had been running those firearms for years. Good job young ladies. ( I had a feeling that with your fair skin, Sunday was not in the cards)
Special shout out to Andre and Olena, our newest Americans who came for Sunday, even though they were not signed up. Olena, I think you can now defend yourself and home, as you shoot better than most gun owners.
Giani and Shannon it was a pleasure having you both here. (Shannon was the official observer). Giani, watch that support hand, remember its just support, and get your support elbow under the rifle. You had some impressive groups at times. Dry fire at home with your moms permission. :)
I am still trying to figure out that darn flicker, now that they changed everything. %)
Thanks Coly and Kelso for letting me come by and sling some lead.

The weather was beautiful even with the afternoon sunshine that was searing at times. The group was small, but all of them brought their teachable attitudes.
Madison and Allison, you are by far the most instruct-able young people I have had the pleasure to work with. Come back sometime soon (that goes for all of the adults too!).
Although no one shot the Rifleman score, there was lots of improvement made by everyone. With practice and persistence, the scores will continue to improve.
Kelso
Giani, you were also a very teachable young student. You remembered the safety rules and safe rifle steps from last month. Thanks for coming out with your mom on Sunday.
Colycat and Kelso,
Thank you for the kind words. Madi, Alli and I had every intention of attending Sunday, but it just didn't happen.
Next time we attend, we will be sure to bring long-sleeve shirts for the girls as a deterrent to hot brass.
Colycat, could you email me the group photo that was taken?
Thank you
Chad

No tripod for the group photo ? Lol
