Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

Something in the water???

I think it may simply be the pure nature of the project.....

Great instruction, Great people, Deeply touching history, Truly inspiring message.

Without seeming negative, my question would be why don't we have more step up?  Lets keep the momentum building and spread the word with the absolute best group that we can.  I am proud to be a small part of this and could easily see on the others faces that they are as well.  We should all put our heads together and figure out what our groups are doing right and help others where we can.  We are all in it together!

What an outstanding weekend! Not raining or sweltering hot it almost did not feel like a seed event!! and somehow through the sun and perfect temp I finally got over that hurdle to get the patch.

Believe when I say that when Dave handed me that patch there were a LOT of Indiana instructor names running through my head. ALL of you played a huge part in this. The helpful tips, the encouragement, history stories, motivation, all of it. Getting emotional just thinking of all you great people.

I want to also congratulate wife (lunch lady) on her  perseverance. She went from a CA girl to not only embracing the shooting sports with me but believing in the program and its goals so much to be an IIT also. She struggled with some equipment in the past but with the encouragement of ALL you instructors again she came through and had a better score and before mine!! HA!! When Antie Bellum mentioned doing some Lady seeds her eyes lit up BIG!

Very honored to be a part of this and part of a GREAT group of dedicated people.
I have noticed you get things done and I respect that-SPQR
