What a great weekend to save the country! 
Thanks to all who helped and attended.  We have a safe, successful weekend with more shooters on Sunday than Saturday.!!!

Thank you Janet and Robert for your hospitality and the use of your beautiful range.

Mucho thanks to Long Rifle for travelling from Boulder, Co to make this shoot possible.  A big THANK  YOU to the Instructors who made it and the instructors who helped get the word out and fill the line.

The attendees were awsome and rolled with the punches as we tackled gear problems, mechanical failure, and the difficulties that come with WAKING Up their Sleeping American.  The weather was great.  And warm.  And surprisingly calm for October @ 8000 ft ASL. 

We learned the 4 Safety Steps.  We drilled on making a Safe Rifle. We worked the Six Steps, Natural Point of Aim. the Steady Hold Factors for Offhand, Sitting/Kneeling and Prone.  We fired Rifleman's Cadence.  Learned the Rifleman's Dance.  And sometimes touched to Riflemans' Bubble.  We learned that Dry Fire can be a safe effective way to practice at home.  We practiced Inches Minutes and Clicks and did Known Distance shooting.  And we Hammered the Army Qualification Test.  And sometimes we felt it all come together in a 4 MOA group.

Finally, we learned the History of the events of April 18,19 1775.  We heard the stories of everyday folks who rose up to fight for Our Freedoms.  We learned why the Revolutionary War was fought, when and where it started, who fought it and how and when it was won.

Before we left we encouraged each other to GET INVOLVED in our Community. We know that WE are the Bosses of the folks elected to look out for us.  We commit to send them letters to give them the direction they need form us.  We know that others sacrificed to give us the Right to Govern Ourselves.  And we commit to do so......

It is an Honor to share the range with you all.
