What a wonderful event!

Twenty-seven Boy Scouts and 7 adult Scouters joined us on a very chilly Saturday morning to learn about marksmanship and hear about our shared Heritage.   These Scouts were tough.  They camped on the range Friday night in sub-freezing temps, unusual for this time of year in Alabama.

The Scouts did very well all day Saturday.  In fact, they stayed Sunday for Rifle Shooting Merit Badge qualification.  The Troop had a 100% qualification rate!  Good job, guys!

I am so grateful for the border raiders who came to assist with this event:  Ramblin' Wreck, Bluegrass Colonel, Tennessee Beast, and Palousie.  (Hope you guys enjoyed the bbq at my favorite gas station!)

Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't thank Don who owns Hobbs Island Shooting Range.  He bends over backward to accommodate us and his range is first class!

Outstanding!
Young people with an understanding of our heritage are the key to our sustained future as a nation.
I've read The Second Amendment at least a thousand times, and I have yet to find a caveat!

I'll meet you all at the North Bridge!

I was honored to work with this group.  I have a feeling we will see several at a two day event.  I took a few pictures. The host was very welcoming.  If you get a chance to visit this range, you will not be disappointed.  Yes, the BBQ at Hobbs Island Pit Stop was good. O0

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"
- Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe
