Vinnie
AWESOME JOB TO ALL WHO CAME OUT!!!
CONGRATS TO OUR NEW RIFLEMEN!!
CONGRATS TO VINNIE!!!! ^:)^ ^:)^
The book we used a lot and mentioned a couple times was "Paul Revere's Ride" by David Hackett Fischer. There is a second book by the same author that is also very good "Washington's Crossing".
Thank you to all the participants and the Instructors for making this a wonderful event!!
Laurie
Congrats to our newest Riflemen!!
And, Steve, thanks for stepping up and taking a hat. You'll probably look great in orange for a while, and just remember that Red isn't too far away for those who put in the time and effort. I have learned much while studying the materials in order to be a better teacher. I hope that you do, as well. O0
Congrats to the new rifleman!
And a big congrats to Vinnie! That new hat looks great on you! Wear it proudly, you earned it!
Being a refugee from Castro Valley's Chabot Gun Club where I had been to Appleseed shoots twice in the last six months, I decided to drive to the Sacramento AS to see if I could shoot my patch on Sunday. Well. the patch turned out to be a pipe dream, but I had a great time trying. What really strikes me is that everyone I have met at these events, instructors and students, are all friendly, helpful and generous people. The atmosphere on Sunday made me feel right at home, and I thoroughly enjoyed the day (including the drive). So much so I'll be back next month.
Congrats to Vinnie on the promotion, and to the new Riflemen. I hope to see some of you next month!
Carbo (AKA Dipstick)
You'll get there Carbo!!! Keep up the good work and the great attitude! You are welcome in Sacramento anytime! ;)
