It was a great Sunday! What a wonderful group of students. It was a genuine pleasure to see some old friends and meet new ones. I wish I'd been there to see you Saturday as well! I hope to see each of you again. I know I have some patches just waiting for some of you!
MINUTEMAN MI001--you posted even before I made it home! (I stopped to give Steel Thunder $15.

) You did great! You had to leave after 2 AQTs on Sunday but both over 200--wow! And thank you so much for your kind words about our instructor team, I'm glad you found the instruction valuable.
Bill, it was great to see you again, motorcycle, gee-tar, odd magazine 'malfs' and all. (I'll have to see if I can duplicate the mag issue myself at home!

)
Bekah--really, only your second time shooting a rifle? Wow! You're off to a great start. And thank you for stepping up and taking a blue hat to help out with Project Appleseed!
Mark, you shot great and I was glad to hear you were going home with a list of things to do! The learning didn't end yesterday afternoon!
Fritz, you're a model of patience and persistence, and you asked great questions. I think you wrote this down, but just in case...that quote was from Dr. Joseph Warren's March 6, 1775, Boston Massacre Oration.
Eric, those bad triggers you're used to working with have certainly served a purpose in giving you great trigger control! 209--it doesn't get any closer.
Jeremy--I know this is the 3rd time we've been together on the line. Wow, did everything "click" this weekend! Great shooting! Congratulations on earning your Rifleman patch, and thank you for stepping up to take an orange hat! I can't wait to work with you!
A special shout out to Sticks and Edith--I'm glad you were able to stop in and see us for a spell, it's been too long!
I promised to post the front sight measuring tool printout for folks to use at home; it is attached as a PDF.
A special thank you to our hosts at Caledonia! You have a wonderful facility and spectacular staff and we appreciate your willingness to host us. (I think you could open a successful restaurant with those burgers, too!) it is great to see that it is a very active club and we appreciate you working us in.
Thank you to the instructor team--DSS, Toobeaukoo, Rascal21, Snipette, and Zazzles. You rock! And thanks to SteelThunder for SBing Saturday and making sure the students had such a great experience--the work you folks did on Saturday was clear on Sunday morning!
I hope to see you all on down the trail! Oz
