One of the two biggest shoots in the nation will be in Mechanicsville, VA  this  weekend. We have a 35 shooter limit and 32 on the rolls. The largest will be in Ramseur where 41 are signed up.

We've had more on each of these lines before. But it's good to see the pre-regs so high on a chilly weekend.

6 out of 26 is a very good percentage.  Higher than normal.  Sorry I didn't make it out there.  Had thought about it but between the truck and the stove my weekend was pretty tied up.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
