What a weekend! The weather for the most part cooperated and we had temps in the mid 80's. We did have a lot of wind Sunday evening.

We had 9 shooters on Saturday and 6 on Sunday and every one of them showed improvement over Saturday morning. We had one lady who hadn't shot in decades, another woman who has shot a lot of pistols but was somewhat new to rifles and a kid who was fairly new to rifles as well. Keep up the good work and soon enough each and every one of you will be able to proudly say "I'm a rifleman!"

We did make a new IIT. Shooter, congrats and thank you for joining the brotherhood of the orange hat! We are desperately in need of your assistance and you will find great joy and pleasure through helping awaken your fellow Americans!

The nationwide volley of fire gave many of us goosebumps when we were reading the names. You are not forgotten. We shall never forget the measures you all took to procure our liberty.

Folks, thanks for coming out and learning the heritage and persevering to improve your marksmanship! Hope to see you next month at the Albuquerque city range!

What a weekend. It was good to see you again Captwa!

I enjoyed the three young shooters we had on the line. Its great to have kids learning marksmanship and heritage.

Captwa and EOD brought out some centerfire rifles.  Gotta love that!

Congratulations and thank you Shooter for stepping up and taking the orange hat!

I hope to see all of you down the trail!

I am so proud to be part of such an extraordinary group of people undertaking such an extraordinary mission.  I look forward to working with you in many AS events in the future.  BTW:  First-timer Jenn brought her targets to work to show to the rest of the staff! O0  Gotta love it!
As for the Nationwide Volley of Fire... words fail me.  May their sacrifices never be in vain.

Amen!

Twice my voice wavered and tears welled up and as I started to read the names every hair on my body stood up. Because of the sacrifices we make and the hard work and determination of all of us their efforts will not be in vein. Just think what they were thinking up there in heaven as we paid homage to their sacrifices. What a great nation and glorious cause we have! Seeing folks like we had last weekend sacrifice their weekend to learn about those great people who died for us gives me hope for tomorrow and our prosperity. May they live in freedom and liberty like we have only dreamed of!

Ok, I'll stop waxing all sappy here. Seriously folks, thank you for coming. I look forward to working with you all in the very near future!  O0
