And after all the "work" is done, the Instructors get to gather to bid farewell, and hope to work with each other at some point on the Trail.....

some of us have a bit of "fun" with each other, by bringing out "young rifles" to use as a teaching moment.....

I just call it therapy after a long, hard weekend....... ::)

You funny guy......

Yeah, the result of a quarter century playing with "small guns" provides a bit of "selection" of short range iron.......

You know what happens with plastic guns..... >:( !@#) (no emoticon for Ka-Boom)

I'm gonna have to talk to Bill3 about enlarging our selection of emoticons.......there don't seem to be enough lately.....

Week finally slowed down so I could pull the pictures from the camera. Need to drop my Megapixels down.

Thanks to all the CA Redhats and crew for assisting. This was an amazing weekend. Fire hose of knowledge time again. Met and made some new friends too.

It was a pleasure to meet up and spend the weekend with folks who have helped me as I persisted along the Rifleman's trail. Desert Dog, Bob 210, Laylopro. And the many other folks who made the trip to Boulder City to assist in past shoots  Kool Aid, Socalserf and others. Thank you.

Already signed up for the Boulder City April 17th My first shoot as an Orange hat. Looking forward to putting my weekends training to good use.

If you look in the mirror you will notice that you are wearing an orange hat. That means that you have demonstrated a proficiency with a rifle that puts you among the best of America's shooters. Remember  the statistics on the Red coat targets.

Secondly when you stand in front of a group of shooters, you have earned the right to be there. You know more than them. Just getting up in front of people demonstrates confidence and courage that many people don't have.

Absolutely right.  On top of that, you'll have all of the other instructors to back you up if you should ever need it.  We take care of our own!

Speaking in front of people comfortably takes one of two things:  Either (a) you're a born showoff and jerk, or (b) you've had lots and lots and lots of practice.  You're not a jerk, and hardly anyone has the opportunity to get that kind of practice.  (Some of us, like me, happen to be both.  I have a totally unfair advantage in this area...  ++) )

You'll be great.  Even by Sunday you were getting it.  Don't worry about a thing.

yea thanks for bearing with me up there I would have gotten tired of holding those posters up if I were you.

Keep smiling and keep practicing and your speech it will get easier.

and I agree practice makes perfect!  Thanks :)

Jessica, We could all tell you were nervous, but you PERSISTED!!  Just like you did on your road to Rifleman, you are going to be a great instructor

I hope you no one minds if I re-post some of these pictures to Facebook. I figure it might get people asking about my new friends and hobby.
