What an incredible weekend!

Thank you to all the shooters and instructors! I'm proud to be a part of such a wonderful team.

The persistence from all of you was incredible to see. We had such a wide array of temperatures, wind directions, cloud coverage. But you all kept going!

You all had some impressive progress in your shooting over the weekend. Keep persisting!

Pics to follow!

Congrats to all of the new Riflemen, glad to see so many familiar faces and requals as well!

A personal thank you to for all being there as I earned my Green Hat! I'm very excited to see all of you on the trail in the future.

A very well run event as usual at Monticello. It was good to see new faces being trained in and especially the new Shoot Boss.
   Though the winds certainly complicated things with shooting mats and targets being displaced your crew was able to make things move with a purpose while never compromising safety.
   Collin is looking forward to returning to try again for a Rifleman's patch.
   Good job!
I have long had a tendency to tie marksmanship to morality. The essence of good marksmanship is self-control, and self-control is the essence of good citizenship. It is too easy to say that a good shot is automatically a good man, but it would be equally incorrect to ignore the connection.

Great work everyone!  :beer:

Once again my family and I had the privilege to attend another event. As ever, great job from all the volunteers who ran the shoot!
It was an extra bonus to be there to see Neck Burn earn his green hat! I feel he will be an outstanding Shoot Boss!
He almost has me talked into a orange hat.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, it is a opportune time to reflect on what our forefathers went through.
