Wow! This instructor only event was special. Several instructors came down early to work on their fundamentals as well as brush up on POIs for the big event that weekend. A special thanks to Yates for doing the memorial volley this year. the best one ever.
Thanks to those that brough their Garands, a line full of M1's doing the volley was something to behold.

Congratulations to Chuck (100), Amy (50), Yates (25), and TickMagnet (10) on your milestones! that's a lot of volunteering!

It was one of my best and fun range days ever

Twas a weekend of epic instruction and instructors, where laughter echoed like cannon fire, and the sweet symphony of freedom rang out with every M1 clip ping, honoring the hallowed memory of April 19, 1775.



Getting a sneak peek at the M1s the night prior and during the event was like witnessing a car fanatic's version of a Christmas Eve. Dom, with his freshly minted M1 that he crafted just a month ago at CMP, transformed into a walking encyclopedia, dazzling us with his newfound expertise.

Big kudos to Chuck, Amy, Yates, and TickMagnet for racking up those milestone numbers while volunteering at events! You've officially earned the title of "Weekend Warriors" for having nothing better to do – and making it awesome!

Getting our freeze-dried goodies fix out of the back of a trunk, like it's contraband, but don't worry, it's just our snack stash! (This stuff is amazing!)
