Great shoot with great weather! I'd like to give a special A special shout out to Michael (MikeCee), our blue hat contact at the range.  We were blessed with six skilled and motivated shooters both days.  On Saturday FFJim shared his lively tale of the revolutionary war hero, Captain Cresap, followed by a special course of fire involving a board held between the knees (paper knees only, no flesh beyond the firing line).  Saturday we saw one new rifleman and one requal (Good job to Richard and Ray!), while Sunday saw Ray requalify on every single AQT.   We did have several other students in the with scores consistently ranging from 180's to 200's, and saw substantial improvements in redcoat scores by the end of a long day.  To Mike, Paul, Erika, and Jason, keep at it and it will come!   All students were attentive to the history and thoroughly engaged in the victory volley.  Once again, thank you to Berwyn for being such outstanding hosts, and I hope to see you all on the line!
