Round Trip

 :F Mansfield Mass. is about equal distance between Boston, Provence R.I. and the Bourne Bridge to Cape Cod.  if you think you know the weather around here, you'll probably be wrong. Saturday we started at 7 degrees warming up to the low 20s, Sunday mid 40s as we started at 12:00 (local custom.)  8 shooters with a variety of of skill levels and 6 Instructors: Rasmus, Round Trip, Jake1918, RebelScum Trebuchet & jmurrayvt. Given the instructor to student ratio a few of the crew had a chance to go for a WinterSeed patch or do some quality shooting on either day. 5 WinterSeed patches were earned on Saturday including jmurrayvt who drove down from Vermont. Our 4  Orange Hats who are very knowledgeable did a fine job on points of instruction, strikes and the verve of our history and heritage. A fine two days, Well Done.                 Photos post only two at a time  #)

Well done, Mass cadre!

You know, I generally prefer a shaded firing line. At 20° I do believe I'd make an exception  :cool2:

Mansfield has cover, when it's 7 degrees at start, in the sun is fine.  One of the shooters showed up with his iced coffee, that's common around here.

Looks like a great event.  Congrats on keeping our heritage alive in the state of our "birth" on April 19, 1775. Huzzah!
