AAR: Boulder, CO 11/2-3/2019

Another great shoot at the Boulder Rifle Club in Boulder, CO! Thanks for the club for hosting us again.

Only four shooters turned out for some shootin' and heritage, but they were hearty ones.

Both mornings started in the low-20s, and the range had a couple inches of snow on the ground. Temperatures rose to the high-40s by midday.  Typical for Colorado in November. Melting snow made for some wet and muddy areas, but Riflemen persist.

We battled the requisite mechanical issues for much of Saturday morning, but after we slayed that beast we saw great improvements in group size. With lunch came the telling of the Three Strikes, and then we rolled into some more shooting and instruction.

On day two, we unfortunately lost two of our shooters, but gained a returning Appleseeder. At lunch, however, all of our shooters had to leave. We seized the opportunity to do some instructor shooting, and of the three instructors who attempted an AQT, all three re-qualified.

Thanks to BRC, our tough as nails shooters, and our intrepid instructors for coming out and making it a great weekend.

It's nice when one of your instructors is a professional photographer.  Thanks, Kenshi!

What a fun event. The weather started of cold and then did the typical Colorado afternoon warmup until it was downright comfortable. I managed to get some photos of everyone but I'm going to have to watch at least one more YouTube video until they are on par with Kenshi's awesome pictures. 

Looks like a blast! Had I not been otherwise committed....

Yeah it was a good event and we even had time for instructors to get on the line. From what I heard, we may have had a little warmer weather than you did up in Laramie  I'd offer up Colorado's final event of the year in Denver on Nov. 23-24, but I believe you're leaving us for warmer weather
