 A GREAT CROWD, WE HAD 2 SHOOTERS FROM CALIFORNIA, VIRGINIA AND A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY FORM NEW ZEALAND WHO HAD NEVER FIRED A RIFLE BEFORE IN HER LIFE, SHE INFORMED US THAT N.Z. DID NOT ALLOW WHAT WE WERE TAKING FOR GRANTED THAT WEEKEND. WE MADE 2 RIFLEMEN, A SCHOOL TEACHER FROM CALIFORNIA AND A GENTLEMAN FROM VA. WE HAD 3 YOUNG LADIES UNDER 18 AND 4 YOUNG MEN UNDER 18 SHOOTING ON SAT.WE SHOT ONE AQT ON SATURDAY, OUR YOUNG LADY FROM N.Z. SHOT IN HIGH 180'S.
SUNDAY OUR SHOOTERS WERE DOWN TO 12, WITH EXCEPTION OF OUR 2 NEW RIFLEMEN, EVERYONE WAS SHOOTING IN THE 170'S TO THE LOW 200'S. A VERY GOOD GROUP.
Dusty old helmet, rusty old gun,
They sit in the corner and wait –
Two souvenirs of the Second World War
That have withstood the time, and the hate.
Many times I've wanted to ask them –
And now that we're here all alone,
Relics all three of a long ago war –
Where has freedom gone?
Mute witness to a time of much trouble,
Where kill or be killed was the law –
Were these implements used with high honor?
What was the glory they saw?
Freedom flies in your heart like an eagle.
Let it soar with the winds high above
Among the spirits of soldiers now sleeping,
Guard it with care and with love.
I salute my old friends in the corner.
I agree with all they have said –
And if the moment of truth comes tomorrow,
I'll be free, or By God, I'll be dead!
Audie Murphy
