What a wonderful way to end the year!! 

The last event of the year was sold out!!!  Even though not everyone showed up we still ended up with 26 students on the line Saturday morning.  5 youth from 8-15. 

This was a group of fun, safe, focused folks.  Beginners (as in had not shot a rifle until Saturday am) to those who had been shooting for many years filled the line.

Our youngest two students were "designated snipers" for the day.  8 & 10, they were very attentive and seemed to very much enjoy the day. 

This group asked lots of questions, and put what we taught them to work. There were a few returning students working on refining their techniques. 

We broke for lunch and some history, before returning to the line and more instruction. 

We were all a little on the toasty side by the end of the day as this October event had temps in the low 90's both days.

Sunday saw some folks not return, due to other conflicts or the heat.  The 18 that returned came back with focus and determination.  And laughter, lots of laughter. 

No Rifleman scores this weekend, but lots of Riflemen and Riflewomen in the hearts and minds of these students. 

Thank you to all for making this a great event.

Thank you to all my instructors for coming out, you are all truly awesome!!

See you all next year!!

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003
