I stopped by the wonderful Blackberry Ridge shooting facility on black Friday to spend some time with the Irwin's my Appleseed family. They had 3 new shooters there who were visiting from Patrick Henry college so they got a taste of Appleseed too. Well we had 1 new Riflewoman come through with a 211.  ^:)^ ^:)^ This young lady had been really putting in some dry fire practice and was dead set on shooting a Rifleman score with irons and not using a scope.  O0 So congratulations magloader!!


Then she also took on an orange hat. She will make a fine IIT I am sure and Instructor. I had her giving instruction to her friends and did a wonderful job. I really look forward to seeing her move up the instructor ranks and working with her in the future.

Thanks to the Irwin family for coming out to shoot this wonderful day when most others were out fighting trying to buy the newest "Stuff". As we were celebrating our freedoms and working on guaranteeing them for the future generations. HUZZAH!!

Congratulations and welcome to the Instructor Corps!

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

Congratulations Magloader!  I knew at Williamsburg that it would not be very long for you.  And I want to thank you for taking an orange hat.  We've got a lot of work to do in Kentucky and we will be putting you to work for sure.  I know that you will be an excellent Instructor in the near future and an outstanding Shoot Boss someday.

"Hearing the story of our Heritage told with just dry facts is like hearing Romeo & Juliet through autopsy reports." - Fred

"In 1775, to protect Liberty a man had to knock on his neighbor's door and ask "will you come die with me?"  In 2012, to protect Liberty a man has to knock on his neighbor's door and ask "will you come vote/attend a public meeting/work at a poll with me?"  Jason Russell, and men and women like him, are the reason have a easier task in 2012. The question is, are we up to it?" - YHJ
