Kudos to the 13 Americans who braved a Michigan spring weekend to develop their marksmanship skills and awareness of American heritage.

Saturday was beautiful (high 40s, sunny) as we ran 2 lines to accommodate all shooters.  We saw some great awareness of safety and the genesis of one of the greatest of all American characteristics -- the confident marksman.

Sunday?  Another story.  34 degrees, pouring rain, mud, snow, sleet, high winds.  We appreciate the folks that stuck it out to come in the morning but the weather simply didn't cooperate and everyone was done around 2 pm.

Congrats to Andrew who came **oh, so close** to his Rifleman score for taking an Applecore hat.

A big thank you to the shooters who stayed behind to help tear down the shoot equipment.

As always, thanks so much to my fantastic instructor crew...this was one for the record books and you handled it with grace and professionalism.  Captain America, Fidget, Pepper Spray, Pookie, Sir Kay, merlin33.

It was definitely cold and wet on Sunday!  A big thank you to the shooters who braved the weather to shoot and learn.

To the instructor cadre it was great working with all of you and a big welcome to our newest Blue Hat Andy (who better pick a forum name quick or one may get picked for him!  ;D LANCELOT
