A wonderful group of 12 shooters braved the rain and fog to learn Heritage and Marksmanship.  The cadre all commented on the teachable attitudes and attention given to the history and instruction throughout the day. The attention to detail showed as the groups improved all day. Congratulations to Steve for the 231 requalification. Clay, keep up the work, you were just a couple points away from qualifying.

Pictures coming soon.

The diverse group of young and older, experienced and novices were a joy to teach. The covered concrete firing line made the damp morning much more enjoyable for the shooters. They responded superbly to the single day format and made great strides without frustration. This is a lovely location and I look forward to returning

It was great to finely meet Cleveland  and Happy Dad! Just a great day on the range practicing marksmanship with friends.
I have come here to chew gum and teach riflemen the art of shooting one hole groups and I'm all out of bubblegum.

This AS ran incredibly smoothly. Considering the rain, wind, mud, hike to the facilities, more wind and mud, and eventually encroaching fog, it's a testament to the instructors. Thanks for taking your time. My kids (9 & 13) learned a lot and had a great time. Both hit the shingle on the final redcoat! They were so proud of various accomplishments during the day and came home and showed family and friends their targets. Next AS I go to, I'm going to have bring all THREE of my kids as the 7yo now really wants to go.

Great shoot!!!  I enjoyed the fog...it reminded me of an April morning, so the history seemed more real.  I took some pics.

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…"

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe
