Bulkhead and the rest of you guys back there doing logistics, you did an outstanding job!  An absolutely amazing job, when you think about the vast scale of such an operation.  All the boxes arrived and arrived early in most cases.  Everything we really needed was there.

Whoever figured out to trim the outside of the KD targets down to their centers should get a gosh-darned medal. Whoever thought that up should stand up and take a bow.  That is one of the smartest things I've seen.  Not only does it cut down on shipping weight, but now they fit regular sized target backers.  This outstanding feature, plus a certain perseverance from Redchrome, made our abbreviated KD COI happen at Holderness, NH.  Bravo!

The door prizes were a great idea!  We had some tired and mopey shooters toward the end there.  The book, coupons, and challenge coin really made their day.  Thank you, Riflewoman, and anyone else who helped put that together.

Thanks again you all guys and gals, and especially you, bulkhead.  We couldn't have done it without any of you.
"The timid and fearful cannot defend liberty or anything else." - G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature from Jekyll Island and founder of Freedom Force International (www.freedom-force.org)

"You make the decision now to be afraid, and you will never turn back--your whole life, you will always be afraid."
-- From "Unbreakable"

The litany against fear is an incantation used by the Bene Gesserit in Dune to focus their minds and calm themselves in times of peril. The litany is as follows:

    I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain.

"Take away fear, and the battle of Freedom is half won." - William Ralp

Yes, great job.

You logistics guys should do this stuff every weekend of the year...oh yeah, you do.   ;)

Raise ye the stone or cleave the wood to make a path more fair or flat
Lo, it is black already with blood some Son of Martha spilled for that
Not as a ladder from earth to Heaven, nor as a witness to any creed
But simple service, simply given, to his own kind in their common need.

Thank you to all our behind the scenes people. We too soon forget those who are supporting all the shoots every weekend with a tremendous amount of work. You are our angels again thanks for watching over us and many blessings to each!

The April 17/18 supply logistic team includes Skyspy, TxPirate, Lawrence, and the WI crew who came and got thier own boxes during an RBC.  Oh-Yeah, Fred was involved too. 

Thanks for everyones patience in dealing with the occasional shortage or misplaced box.  I hope everyone realizes what Appleseed did this weekend.
