Great job. Thanks for all of the hard work that it takes to reach this level. It will be appreciated by many, as we move on down the trail.   :bow:

Nice work, Jeff! That hat looks good on you! (The orange one, not so much any more)  :~

The hardest distance to shoot is the six inches between your ears.  It gets easier when you get out of your own way.  Self doubt and negative self talk have no place on the firing line. 
Once a shot is gone... good or bad, it is gone.   Focus on the next one. Make forty good first shots.

Congrats!

Wait... What's the deal with the "Mrsurplus" profile picture? Why do Superheat & D.O.M. have the same profile pic? Does Mrsurplus even exist? Are these all just multiple personalities of the same person?!  #) :)) ;D

It's a Michigan thing.

We were a VERY tight group 6 or so years ago and we are still today. As much as you can be for 50 or so people.  As a SALUTE to an instructor's achievement we have their hats embroidered before hand and everone close to that Instrctor changes their avitar to the embroidered hat.  Our way of saying HUZZAH! 

When everyone in the thread has the same avitar it is very funny.

That's hilarious.
The embroidery on the hat is a neat idea; I may have to steal borrow that.

MrSurplus, it was an honor to be able to give you your Red Hat. It looks natural on you!

Now, let's get that red faded down a bit, it's so bright!  ~~:)  ;D

Huzzah!

It was great meeting you a couple years ago at the IBC.  Hope to see you on the trail.

Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

Well deserved. One of my favorite faces (voices?) on the line. Congrats, Surplus!
