Well, quite a weekend here at the Flagler Gun & Archery Club in Bunnell, Florida. Perfect weather on Saturday and most of Sunday (until threatened by thunderstorms and a possible tornado!). We called it quits a bit early just in case.









A group of shooters consisting of Girl Scouts and their leaders along with several others joined together to help celebrate our April 19th 1775 heritage.

In addition to our traditional 'three strikes of the match', Edree showed us his black powder musket and Flawyer brought out his replica Redcoat Brown Bess (Tower) musket. The size and weight of the Brown Bess musket along with its attached bayonet was a formidable sight to see and hold!





Much improvement was shown by all the shooters. Joe 'cleaned ' the Redcoat target Sunday morning and shot a solid 188 on the AQT.

Janay almost cleaned her Redcoat target but just missed the Daniel Morgan 'shingle'. That was a great demonstration of perseverence after having to struggle early on with a loaner rifle.

Jill and Garrett both improved steadily throughout the weekend and Jenn and Ashley both put in strong performances, too.

Four Junior patches were handed out to the appreciative youngsters in the group.





Jeff was looking good on Saturday but wasn't able to return and 'nail it down' on Sunday.

All of the instructors were quite taken by being presented with 'Thank You' cards and a box of Girl Scout Cookies!

Thanks again to all the shooters, parents and helpers (Nicole, Chance, Eugenia, Jocelyn and Gavin) and to the three instructors; Flawyer, edree and TomM1thumb for their outstanding efforts.

" The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. €�  - Alexander Hamilton
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."    -- Thomas Jefferson

" The Beauty of The Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it"
Thomas Jefferson

Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.

Thomas Paine
