From up in the frozen tundra of Waco ... comes a man.  A man with a radio call sign...and a plan...and a green hat!  :cool2:
AF5US stars in "The New Texas Shoot Boss"  :---
[...and CUT!]

Huzzah!  Huzzah!  Huzzah!


Please join me in giving a rounding cheer to Texas' newest Shoot Boss: AF5US !!!

Jason's been working the Waco range with Steck and her crew for awhile now, always prepared, always on-time, and always keeping the voices of Liberty and Freedom ringing.

Way to go, Jason!  O0  :F

P.S. - Hope to see you in Ft Worth this upcoming year!  :))

Steck, you're blaming the wrong messenger.  I'm waiting for the promotion to work it's way through the system before I'm able to close out some of the Shoot Boss tasks.  I'm keeping an eye on it, and as soon as it's ready I'm on it  ;D

Jim, thank you for the warm welcome.  The Frozen Waco tundra was pretty funny.  There was a difference of opinion at the range.  Native Texans agreed it was cold.  Northern refugees like NJRefugee and I noted that we didn't have to dig our car out of three feet of snow to get there.  O0

And, considering I'm supposed to be doing shoot boss in Fort Worth . . . yep, I plan on being at the Fort Worth shoots.  ;)

NJRefugee - If you think I'm going to take that attitude from you . . . then you're right.  But only because you're the one that helped my correct my form, which led to me getting that 228.    ;D

Awww, shucks.  Thanks Mrs. Smith.  I know you're working your way to a new hat too; I'm sure you're right behind me.

Man - 2017 kind of went fast.  I started the year wearing an orange hat, and am finishing it with a green  :F

Jason Rocks!

Not sure if he's a sled dog but he does bite. He's had his shots though so it's OK.

Thank you both Steve & Dr. Rich.

LOL - Y'all are hitting on all of my favorite things.  Talking about working me like a sled dog - It's a little-known fact that I'm a HUGE fan of huskies; I used to be part of a rescue but I've had to put that to the side for now with a lot of young, loud mini-me's running around.  They're great sled dogs but I don't know if I want to be on the OTHER end of the sled  ;D

Kirby - Project Appleseed and Amateur Radio? Fantastic !   O0

I'll definitely follow up on this.  I've already signed up for the KD in Texas for that weekend, but maybe I can help make this work during the week.  I'll reach out to Jerry2017 and we'll see what we can make work.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
