Questionable weather turned out much nicer than expected. Only the intrepid came out to shoot. It was a special weekend with Virginia getting a new Red Hat. Congratulations to AMHLDO! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! We had parity between instructor corps and shooters but the results were astounding with an 80% Rifleman! 3 New Riflemen and one repeater. The crew included: Dangerous Cook, JL, AMHLDO, Monkey, Missus Monkey and The Wolfhound. More later.
Congratulations to AMHLDO, Earned and deserved. Proud of you brother!

I need to do a bit of research, but Arianna may be Virginia's youngest Rifleman at 12. We have had younger shooters (including Arianna some years ago) but I do not recall a younger Rifleman. Huzzah!
You VA guys need to watch it with the 80% success rate, else I'll have to send the MD crew down to see what you're doin right! ;D Congrats AHMALDO!
Excellent recounting of the story of April 19, 1775!
Enthusiasm runs high!
Check out that center square!
M1Garand on the Line
Some really fine shooting by Missus Monkey...she shows just how good an M&P 15-22 can be!
Our thanks to the dedicated volunteers of Project Appleseed, for excellent coaching and instruction!
Daniel, prone.
Arianna, seated

Great pics, S_Two. Many thanks to JL for bringing the Garand and supplying chow for it. ^:)^ All the cadre got to show it some love.

Indeed - I had a blast. Great shoot to cut my IIT teeth on!
Only problem now is that I got the bug for an M1 Garand...

Maybe it is an "opportunity"? CMP Special my friend!

You're right - it's an opportunity to live in your behemoth Fifth Wheel when Missus Monkey kicks me out of the house (after she puts the Garand in the safe ;) )
