We were joined by 8 great Americans on this perfect weekend of weather in the green beauty of Piru to see 2 new men join the ranks of Riflemen and we had the opportunity to welcome a new IIT on board to help with bailing out the ship! More to come, post you pics and comments here!
Hello and a great big portion of Gratitude to Dan, Cameron, Boris and especially to Bob, he is well titled as a hero.
I appreciate that I was not the only student on the Rifleman's trail, I did learn from several students and the feeling of their camaraderie and spirit is great to have. I have been to several weekends in Piru to reach the 210-mark and this Saturday was the day when I met and even exceeded that level. I nearly repeated my performance on Sunday, just not as high of a score. But there were several of us on Sunday who hit the 400yd-Redcoat & the shingle and I did clear the Sunday-PM Redcoat target sheet. So maybe I am redeemed.
Again, the volunteers and help that I received were/was invaluable on my quest. I hope to payback some of their effort and see how/when I can wear a new orange hat and help the cause. Measuring up to the A.S. standards would mean a lot.
Thank you,

Jeff.... CONGRATS! :~ :~ :~ O0
Your road was long, but your efforts were rewarded!
Your journey as a Rifleman has just begun...
I am sure you will enjoy it, as I do! ~~:)
I met some good people on Saturday...
Many more Riflemen in the making.
Who was the second Rifleman? Sorry I missed that.

wear a new orange
I wish I was there. I have that special not-so-new orange hat with 'the boris' tag just for that occasion.
Gratz man.

I believe that Trevor was the one who [on Sunday] earned his Rifleman's patch. I have yet to see his photo posted.

Aye Trevor K., was the second rifleman ......
Congratulations Jeff! Welcome aboard to your instructor path. ^:)^
Twobeagles (Ronnie) & Rocdale (Chris)
Looking forward to seeing you on the trail. ..:..
Hi Ronnie,
You were there on my first A.S.Day & wore your brand new Red-hat on my second A.S.Day!
Chris made an important safety correction for me on my next weekend.
The both of you offered me lots of technique and honest critique.
I thank you both.
On a humorous note, did anyone else hear Trevor do his Gomer Pile imitation on the firing line? He even dressed a little like that young Private - if you saw his stature you to would snicker with his enthusiasm. Am I the only one old enough to remember that TV-show?

And welcome Jeff our new IIT!
Our other new Rifleman was Trevor!
