To quote Sam Adams "This is a glorious day for America."
Alas not so much for the weather. Despite the cold, six brave souls made it out to our event. It had snowed at the range earlier in the week, so I brought tarps expecting to cover up a mud pit.
Ahh,  but Providence had smiled an bestowed upon us a dry range!  @)
We got off to a slow start with the usual equipment issues. The students drank deeply from the firehose, and we watched those groups shink. The heritage was well recieved and made an impression on everyone. Unfortunately time and tired muscles conspired to bring the weekend to an end.
To those who didn't get the patch this time, Remember!
A Rifleman PERSISTS!
Total score for the weekend-
Many new friends made. Craig, Kim, Paul, Krista, Parker & James
2 glorious days for America with another fine group of patriots learning to make good use of their freedom.
1 Rifleman patch earned by a four time Appleseeder and fine young man, Parker!  ^:)^ 
And the knowledge that we worked hard to make John Adams smile.

"Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it."

"Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the Supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble actions - The Eyes of all our countrymen are now upon us..." - George Washington

Great weekend.   :---

Can't wait until June. There may be a future military member or two there (if I can get them to come).

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." ~ Ronald Reagan

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." ~Thomas Jefferson
