I guess I'll get this started; Saturday dawned clear and cool with 14 Americans off the couch and learning the history.  Scout started with a great presentation of the First Strike, followed by safety rules.  First round down range was about 10:30 firing up a Red Coat target. 
As the day continued, the heat came up but all of the shooters hung tough.  By the last Red Coat on Saturday we saw a lot of improvement.
Sunday saw 8 hard core Americans back, showing Rifleman persistence pursuing additional skills.  We shot thru several AQTs and finished up with shooting at the 100 meter line.
While we didn't have any Riflemen, we had several that were close and all of the shooters were showing improvement.
Thanks to Tom for his great boots on the ground efforts to make it easy for Scout and I to fall in on.
And a special thanks to all the shooters for coming out and doing their best.  It was a GREAT WEEKEND!

Amen, Reddot!  Although my clan only made it for Saturday, we all had a great time.  My co-worker (first Appleseed) lamented he missed the third strike.  He will be back with others.
And thanks for your and Scout and Tom's work.  I told Scout, every instructor I've met so far is top-of-the-line, salt-of-the-earth, excellent folks.
Looking forward to our next one.
Heretic.
A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished.  (...hiding doesn't mean fear, just that he is prudent and PREPARES!)

"You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down—up to a man's age-old dream; the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course,"--Ronald Reagan

Thanks to Scout and the Amarillo gang. O0  My husband and I had a lot of fun and learned some new skills to practice.  Also I learned that if there is a charging deer, I am going to hand the rifle to my husband.
