Hot? Sure, but it was a dry heat right? Thank the Lord for the breeze - made it tolerable. Eight fine Americans from age 10 - 67 came out to brave the Florida heat and reach for a Rifleman score on the venerable AQT.  While only two made it all the way, not a complaint were to be heard - not even from young Jacob.

I believe this was David's third event and he got his patch! He also vowed to keep coming to maintain his skills. We'd love to see him make score on the new Garand he is considering getting!  O0

Sophia came Sunday with her dad, the newly minted IIT "CyberGuy" and she also made Rifleman - huzaaah! Them sneaky instructors didn't tell her that she had made score earlier on Sunday and when she heard it, the look on her face was priceless! It's moments like those that keep me at this eleven years later.

Another instructor father and son could only make Saturday - Ken and Kenny. So great to see families spending quality time together - it's a rare and precious gift in our time.

Rick and Vickie toughed it out all weekend and showed great improvement. Vickie assured me she wants my "Liberty Library" book list and it will be my honor to send same to her once she emails me. It's very rewarding to see people display an interest in our unique American heritage.

A third father and son team was present and accounted for in Terry and Grady - hope to see you both back again soon!

Jacob, mentioned above was also with his father - Jim. Jim rocked the center fire all weekend. I just love the bark of a real rifle!  :snipersmi

I want to thank all of you for braving the heat and attending this event. I also want to thank the instructors who showed up to bail me out, when a week before the event I discovered that I had failed to solicit a single fellow instructor and was looking at working the event solo, which would have denied the students the personal attention they richly deserve.

In Liberty,

When I find evil imposed or codified, I will War against it. My Lord has made it known and understood to me that to accept the gift of freedom I will alone bear the full responsibility everything I do, or chose not to do." I .......    "This is Appleseed.

So so proud of you Sophia!  I knew you could do it!  And congrats to David as well.

Everyone had such an amazing attitude, despite the heat.  I loved working with 10 year old Jacob, who was plucky and good-natured and never complained once.  Vickie showed amazing persistence and I could see right away that she "gets it."  Awesome job everyone!

Hope to see you all again soon!
Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains." - Patrick Henry

The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

"In the prevailing political theory of the founding era, the family was considered one of the essential pillars of republican virtue, and it not only needed to be nurtured, but also protected from the tyranny of the government.... American revolutionaries and their descendants understood marriage and the family to be schools of republican virtue. -Mary Lyndon Shanley, Review Essay, 27 Law & Soc. Inq. 923,
