Wow, what a great event!   5 shooters on the line, 3 rifleman added to the cadre!   COLD and wind, were ignored, in our quest for more RIfleman. All students made great progress and history was enjoyed by all... Thank you to the students, Volunteers, and host facility  for another great event!

Things that made this shoot great:


- Great instructor ratio
- Great learning attitudes
- A nearby Wawa and Red, Hot & Blue
- Watching a young lady, who had never shot a rifle before, align all the tumblers in her mental lock and nearly score rifleman (multiple 200+ scores)
- The tolerance of a pair of border raiders  ;D

Had an absolute blast - can't wait to come back!

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible."
― Hyman G. Rickover

"Scoring is a function of great execution, and winning Is the result, but thinking about winning can pull your focus off of proper execution in a competition. Thinking about process is the answer."- Lanny Bassham
