It was a hot and muggy weekend.  As a matter of fact, it reached Infernoseed conditions on Sunday afternoon, but guess what?  That didn't stop 18 fearless patriots from coming out to drink from the firehose of liberty.  Despite the extreme weather conditions, much progress was made throughout the weekend with nary a peep of complaint.

Congratulations to our rifleman Hunter, who requalified on Sunday afternoon with a score of 219.  Well-deserved kudos also go to our youth shooters, Patton, John, William, Tanner, Ian, Matthew, and Tess.  These young people were an inspiration to all of us.  Their hard work, determination, and enthusiasm are contagious!

Thank you also to our instructors who came from far and wide to help instruct this shoot and to Joe for making sure that we had enough shade for all our shooters.  The shoot was a success because of all of you!  I hope to see all of you on the line 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,

Wow that's a lot of shooters! Well done and I know what you mean by heat. Keep up the god work! :F
We in America do not have government by the majority-we have government by the majority who participate......All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Students and instructors alike showed grit and determination in spite of the heat ðŸ"¥!
That would make the founders proud!
After the range was cleaned and massive canopies removed, Margaret had a unique approach to chillin out. ðŸ˜,

We're not a .22 club so get out and shoot ATC, Across the Course so others will realize that.

Great shoot!  Lots of determined shooters showed up despite the forecast of HOT!  All shooters applied what they learned and improved their shooting skills.  It's always encouraging to see so many young people at a shoot - thanks to all of them for coming out - CONGRATS to Hunter!  Also, thanks to my fellow instructors for making the event fun and successful as well as the range who is always willing to accommodate our needs. 
ACCEPT YOUR WOBBLE!

It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again."  Ronald Reagan

After the first Redcoat target on Saturday morning it was apparent that there was "room for improvement". By Saturday afternoon there had been improvementâ€"vast improvement. This tendency continued all the way through a very hot and challenging weekend. Verdict? The instructors were richly paid at this shoot. Thanks! Practice perfectly and perfection will come.
