Ah, kDan was there - that explains the round count! It's the trigger-happy Team Northeast, I tell you!

I like the idea that 3 people took the orange hat and were all from different states.  Talk about planting seeds!!
Good form I say.

It was great to get out of the Southeast and see how it's done in the rest of the country. The four minute AQT was interesting to see and I would like to see more of it as it can help people knocking on the Rifleman's door stop fussing the shot.  The weather was great even if a bit humid and my glasses kept fogging up.  It was great to meet all y'all up there and I look forward to staying in contact with you. It was great to have access to a 500 yard range since they are few and far between down here.  Thanks to Ripersnifle for helping me walk my shots out to 500 yards (did you ever figure out how big that ram was?)  Thanks to Buzzworth for letting me plink with my M1A.
See you on the trail

One other thing

It's great to be able to go across the US and not be a stranger.

That was a FUN shoot.
No one seemed to get down if they were having trouble.
The "riflemen persist" attitude was definitely present.
Lots of ah-ha! moments.
Those are always fun to watch.
Good to see Jim and Tony again.
It was a pleasure meeting you, Dwayne.
Quick work with that tube-fed!  Sheesh.
Come up any time.
I mil-ed the ram when we were shooting at it, but forgot the size.
(Big enough to ring with iron sights)
It was nice to work with AK, M, Ryan, and I'll miss you most of all, Buzzworth. (Dorothy Gail quote)
Great to see Kdan and friend too.
Thank you, Hale Mountain!

Good shoot. Buzzworth talented organizer. Weather not too bad. It was fun to be there. A'propos there were four rifleman produced out of four states 
Thanks  for helping me with the problem of "cheek weld" issue when shooting scope. I wonder how anybody can shoot without modifying elevation of stack com.
That 800 + rounds did not feel too much of work till next day 

It was great to have so many Instructors and IITs on hand; thanks to every one of them. Each one added to my training at some point over the w/e. Next time=better cheek weld=THE PATCH!

PS - 30 seconds to make the center square "disappear"--absolutely love it!

AGAIN - Buzzworth and Mrs. with team did an excellant job.
Enjoyed having Tfelog call line, with eyes closed sounded just like Buzzworth,
By end of day Sunday, Tfelog son who was next point to me was singing the commands.
All good people.

Hi Everybody!
We took off for Maine on Monday and just got back to post.
This was a great shoot! It's always great to see the improvement folks have during the cours of the weekend!
With so many instructors present, i had the priviledge of shooting on Sunday - that gave me a new perspective on what i can do better as an instructor 

Thanks to everyone who showed up - that's what makes it such a great event!

Thanks also to Buzzworth for his consistent Shoot Boss presence, and Mrs. Boss for the vittles!!!

See ya on the Trail!!
