Haven't seen this one covered yet, so here goes. Sleepy Joe was our shoot boss, Banana Man & myself helped out.
We had 14 or 15 shooters Sat and I think 8 on Sun. Lots of great kids, several of whom were brought out Sat AM by their mom just to see what we were about. Some LTR's were scrounged up & the older ones who wanted to shoot were accomodated.

Jason (JayMac) shot Rifleman Sat PM & took THE HAT! He helped out on the line Sun. Congratulations and Thanks!

We had a good mix of repeat shooters and new ones. All the Kids were exceptional. Tom shot several more Rifleman scores to go with his previous ones. Others continue to improve. Peter, Mark & Wolf, hang in there. Lynn was a first timer with a new rifle that let her down, She'll be back.

It was my first shoot at Sanborn Shooters and it's a really nice range. We did have to wait a couple of times for a turkey (real wild one, not one of ours) to vacate the range. Joe took pictures, I know he'll get them up when he has time.

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
Winston Churchill

thanks for the great weekend to all; it was a pleasure meetin' you Capt G, Sleepy Joe & all the other instructors & shooters.

My boys love this stuff, so they'll be back after lots of dry firing at home (me espically) and look to build their skills.

Funny! We had a jackrabbit on the Green Sunday AM in Pharr.

Thank you Jason for stepping up!
