We had a small but enthusiastic turn out for our annual Father's Day Shoot at Port Malabar Rifle & Pistol Club. Six students arrived Saturday and five Riflemen went home with big smiles on their faces Sunday. All but one were returning students. That, combined with an instructor/student ratio better than 1:1 resulted in a very safe, smooth running, event. We even found ourselves ahead of our timeline on Saturday and were able to shoot three AQTs. Everyone qualified at Marksman or better Saturday. Dennis achieved his first Rifleman score of 213 on Saturday and came back to shoot 220 twice on Sunday. Debbie and Jim shot 213 and Leah and William shot 212. Jim and William cleared the Redcoat Sunday afternoon. Great job! Leah (LisaLisa) accepted a Blue Hat. We look forward to seeing her back on the line at future events with some of her Cult friends (A Girl & A Gun). There was hardly a dry eye Sunday Noon as MaidMarian portrayed the story of Lydia Mulliken's wedding party portrait that never happened. (http://www.womenhistoryblog.com/2010/07/lydia-mulliken.html) It was a great weekend of Marksmanship and Heritage and lots of fun! The big pay-off was the broad smiles and high-fives when all the shooters on Sunday became Riflemen! HUZZAH!

We're not a .22 club so get out and shoot ATC, Across the Course so others will realize that.

I can't say enough about this weekend.  I'm still on a high from receiving Rifleman. 
The instruction and encouragement were what got me there.  It's not easy to spend two days in the Florida heat but hydrate, hydrate, hydrate helped.
I look forward to helping out at future events.

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785

You are right Dennis.
Had my surgery today  Had to explain why my elbows looked like they did.  It was a great way to talk about Appleseed  ^:)^

And thanks for taking the Blue!

tk
The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

That's real 7th stepping.
btw: Get some basketball shooter's sleeves. They have pads built into the elbows. Saved me from ruined elbows.
