Fantastic and busy event in Ramah. 17 shooters in for a long Saturday, wrapping up at 1730.
Orange hats and students formed teams that built the target line and prepared the shooting platform.
Not-too-hot weather and lots of sun.
Good weather continued into Sunday.
9 rifleman patches awarded and 14 cleaned redcoats on the weekend!

First, Braveheart, the Colorado state coordinator, presents a certificate of appreciation to the Ben Lomond Gun Club for 10 years of support to the Appleseed program.



High fashion on the line:

WOW - did you say 9 rifleman patches awarded and 14 cleaned redcoats on the weekend??  That's fantastic!!

It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again" Ronald Reagan

Many thanks to Ben Lomond GC for the use of their first class facility, to Shoot Boss codefogey for running an excellent event (as per usual) and to the rotation of CO cadre who made it all happen on a Mother's Day weekend.

Kudos to the shooters for their outstanding performance and their regard for safety.

Many of the events remaining on the CO schedule are sold out, but we still have available slots for a few shoots, including our last Rimfire Know Distance event of the year on Saturday, Sept 27 at Skyline HFC in Littleton.
