A really fine event at a fine location. Thanks to all the shooters who showed up and stuck with it throughout the weekend and some changing weather (though nothing that would qualify for a Winterseed). Thanks also to range owner Dave Rosenfield of Sanborn Shooters for hosting us for a first event with hopefully more to follow. A big thank you to my fellow instructors, who kept the SBIT on his toes and on course and made for a successful shoot.

The younger generation was well represented at the shoot, including the 6 ladies of the Capo family, one of whom, Amelia, shot an impressive 220 on the AQT, humbling us all with her comment (paraphrasing) "You mean not everyone can shoot this well?"  O0 Teresa and Peter brought their respective kids and they seemed to have a great time.

Plenty of malfunction clearance drills and without those, I suspect there would be several more knocking on the door, but, stop me if you've heard this one before...a rifleman persists!

Congrats to our new riflemen: Amelia as mentioned previously, Don, Kenneth and Vincent who all scored well into the 220s.
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

great shoot; hope we can do it again, as I have the other twin son to bring next time.
in the first pic, the big guy standing is Don, who qualified on Sat.
in the next pic, the two guys nearest the camera qualified Sunday (sorry, forgot your name)
the rest are the usual suspects,,,,,, ~~: :bow: ~~:)

I can explain it to you but, I cannot understand it for you.
